Ahead of a June 29 entry deadline, China has so far earned 255 qualification spots in 180 events across 23 sports for the Games, according to the Chinese Olympic Committee.
Boasting a deep talent pool and advanced training methods, the Chinese delegation will continue to count on its six most dominant events－diving, table tennis, shooting, weightlifting, gymnastics and badminton－to deliver on its medal ambitions in Tokyo.
Athletes belonging to those "mighty six" have contributed a whopping 162 of China's 224 gold-medal total since the country debuted at the Summer Olympics in 1984 in Los Angeles.
