Chinese-born talents helping their adopted home countries raise their game at Tokyo Olympic Games
Born in China but competing under a different flag, a group of emigrants has navigated through athletic and cultural challenges to realize their Olympic dreams.
In the era of globalization, the Olympic Games is never short of intriguing encounters between athletes born in the same country yet representing different national delegations－a reality that Team China has confronted quite often in its traditionally strong sports, such as table tennis, badminton and diving.
heptathlon
It was on the Olympic stage, nine years ago, that the British heptathlete was propelled into the international spotlight. Aged 19, Johnson-Thompson set a national U20 record of 6267 to place a highly respectable 13th at the London Olympics while her teammate Jessica Ennis-Hill struck gold.
Just one year later, Johnson-Thompson was in the hunt for medals at the World Championships in Moscow, eventually finishing fifth in a close competition. She went on to rack up three major titles indoors, winning two European indoor crowns and the 2018 world indoor gold medal, but narrowly missed out at outdoor championships, finishing sixth at the 2016 Olympics and fifth at the 2017 World Championships.
