With the Chinese delegation gearing up for the start of the games in less than four months, all of the competing athletes who have won medals in previous Olympics will be looking for further success in Rio.
The Chinese national shooting team have been preparing in Rio for the up coming Olympics.
Among them is Veteran shooter Du Li who will lead the women's team in the 10-meter air riffle event which will open the sporting showcase for a 7th straight time. Du grabbed gold in Athens in 2004 while her team mate Yi Siling was victorious in London 4 years ago.
"Time flies, and then Olympics come again. My career is nearing it's end which has made me cherish the opportunities more. I'm rather looking forward to having the chance to grab the opening gold and I will try to handle the pressure," she said.
On the men's side, Zhu Qinan will switch his focus to the 50-meter rifle three positions. Having won the 10-meter event in 2004 he's spending time adapting his game to the environment in Brazil. At the most recent test event in Rio, Zhu came third in the three positions.
He said, "Hot, very hot. My reaction was slowed reaction under the hear. The shooting direction is different from that in china and will affect our sense of direction. The light that reflects on the target is also very strong."
31-year-old diver enters Rio in search of 5th gold medal
Meanwhile, the Chinese divers are hoping to maintain their dominance when they touch down in Brazil.
For Wu Minxia, this will be her 4th straight games. The veteran diver will pair with Shi Tingmao in the synchronised three-meter springboard with the 31-year-old hoping to clinch her 5th medal after claiming 4 golds in her career so far.
She said, "I will cherish the final period of preparation. I hope I can enjoy the process and stay away from injuries. I will go step by step and be healthy. After that, I hope I can realize my dream of standing on the podium at the Rio Olympics."
Qin Kai will also compete which could be the last time at what could be his last Olympics. In a decorated career, Qin set a world record by winning nine straight titles on the world stage to go with two gold medals, first in Beijing and then in London and although in his twilight years as a diver, he is determined for more success.
"This competitions is now even more difficult than it looks. I know how much efforts it would take to stay. But I'm a stubborn guy who will fight to the last second. I have an Olympic dream, and I can't leave it there," said Qin.
Only time will tell if these athletes can add to their medal haul but at this stage at their careers, it's not what they gain but what they leave behind.
