The Chinese Mountaineering Association provided technical assistance for the hiking program. Deputy secretary general of the association, Li Guowei, confessed that the athletes, who tried hiking for the first time, outperformed his expectations.

"What really impressed me was that they showed strong will power despite exhaustion. I wish them a fruitful quest in Tokyo," Li said.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the shooting test event for Tokyo 2020, originally scheduled for March 9, was cancelled. According to China's Shooting and Archery Management Center, its roster for Tokyo 2020 will be finalized in May.
