It's not all bad. There are players from China who never get to play Olympics, or play but don't win Gold. There's no need to have a perfect record to be successful, and none of the previous champions had to face a threat like Ito.

Taiwan pair on fire. Don't see how France can turn this around.
CONGRATULATIONS TAIWAN FOR WINNING MIXED DOUBLES BRONZE!
most awkward celebration ever though...
