Talk:China at the Olympics

*WHAT* year did China win the Olympics?

The article says China has come first once, but does not provide any reference and doesn't say what year. I cannot locate any information about this online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.20.69.150 (talk) 09:45, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

1980 Summer Boycott

Hi, could someone explain why they boycotted the 1980 Summer games and maybe ado the reasoning to the main article? It seems odd that they weren't there having participated in the Winter games so I was wondering why, as they aren't natural US allies. Villafancd (talk) 11:04, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
