No medals to Israel, my favorite country, that makes me sad. Also, Brazil with only two medals and China Taipei as a different country than China mainland, come on...

Why not Taiwan has it's own democraticly elected government and isn't part of the Peoples republic of China even though China lays claim to it , the only concession is it uses the name chinese Tapei since China was admitted to the Olymics, you might have a stronger case if you questioned Hong Kong competing as a separate team, since even though they have some automony they are a Chinese region, having said that their long Olympic history is most likely why they continue as Hong Kong.

I wonder why these two small pieces of land are so important and specially Hong Kong, there is somehting really special about that region.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
