TEAM CHINA DRESSED FOR SUCCESS

Athletes raring to do nation proud at Tokyo Games as anticipation levels rise at uniform launch

With just under a month to go until the Tokyo Games, China's Olympians are confident of a safe and successful trip to Japan thanks to the support and protection they are receiving from the nation.

"All of the national team athletes are vaccinated, and the General Administration of Sport of China has provided us with the best protection," artistic gymnast Xiao Ruoteng told China Daily at the launch ceremony for Team China's Tokyo Olympics podium uniform, produced by Anta.

"So we don't have too much to worry about in terms of the safety of the Tokyo Olympics. Many international sports leagues are returning. I'm very confident of a successful Tokyo Games."
