The collection of Sina’s official Olympic athlete and team partners has together achieved amazing success in Rio, so far winning a combined total of 18 medals including 11 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze medals. The “Sina Olympic Team” is made up of 27 national teams competing in 9 different sports, as well as famous Olympians including Michael Phelps, Lin Dan, Lang Ping, Tony Parker, and Draymond Green. Throughout the Olympics, the teams and athletes have been providing Sina Sports users with exclusive updates, interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the Rio Games. Below, Sina Sports takes a look back at all that its Olympics partners have accomplished so far.

Michael Phelps’ career comes to a perfect end

It is hard to find the words to fully describe Michael Phelps’ greatness in the pool. In this Olympics, Phelps won five gold and one silver medal, taking his cumulative total number of gold medals spanning five Olympics to 23, and the total number of medals to 28. The 31-year-old Phelps, who is retiring from competitive swimming, truly made history and has inspired the next generation of young swimmers to follow in his footsteps.

Sina Sports is the official digital media partner for Michael Phelps in China. Phelps paid a visit to Sina’s Olympic studio in Rio on Sunday to share his victory and the close of his Olympic career with Chinese fans. Over 700,000 fans watched live as the living legend described what it felt like to have accomplished so much, and gave some previews for what will come next for him and his family as his swimming career comes to a close. The Olympic journey that we all have enjoyed watching has indeed come to a perfect end.

Phelps will continue to provide Sina Sports fans with regular videos and interviews after the Olympics as he begins the next chapter of his life.

Chinese Power – Chinese Weightlifting Team

The Chinese weightlifting team was an official ambassador for Sina Sports at this Olympics. The team qualified for all ten events in the weightlifting category, and was Sina’s largest team in Rio. Altogether, the team took home 5 gold medals and 2 silver medals, more than any other country.

First to Gold - Chinese Cycling Team

The Chinese cycling team paved the way for Sina’s Olympic team as the first to win a gold medal in Rio. Although the duo made up of Tianshi Zhong and Jinjie Gong came up short in the London Olympics, the pair would not be denied this time around, taking home the first gold medal in Chinese cycling history.

Creating History, Defending Honor – Chinese Judo Team

The Chinese Judo team made history at this Olympics and pulled its weight as members of Sina’s Olympic team. In the 90kg men’s judo competition, Xunzhao Cheng won a bronze medal, becoming the first ever male Chinese Olympian to medal in judo. In the 78kg women’s judo category, veteran Songji Yu did her part by taking home a bronze medal.

“Brave Knight” – Chinese Equestrian Team

Chinese equestrian legend Tian Hua represented China and the Sina Olympic team as the sole member of the Chinese equestrian team to qualify for the Rio Olympics. Tian finished 8th in eventing, the strongest finish for any Chinese athlete competing in equestrian in Olympic history.

Skilled Swordsmen - Chinese Fencing Team

The Chinese fencing team improved substantially from a disappointing performance in London. The team won a silver medal in the women’s team épée category, and Yiwen Sun took home a bronze medal in the individual épée category.

As the Olympics resume, many of Sina’s Olympic team members are still in the heat of battle. Badminton legend Lin Dan has begun his quest to defend his Olympic title. Legendary women’s volleyball coach Lang PIng has already led her team into the semifinal, and has a great shot at taking home a medal. Draymond Green and the USA men’s basketball team will certainly aim for the gold medal, while the French team led by Tony Parker looks to make it into the medal rounds. Sports fans will continue to come to Sina Sports to follow the Olympics and interact with their favorite athletes all the way through the closing ceremony.
