Li Zhenqiang
Show jumping rider Li Zhenqiang, who competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was the Chinese delegation's oldest athlete in Tokyo, at the age of 54. His son, Li Yaofeng, was his teammate in Tokyo, and although both finished outside the medals, they were buoyed by the knowledge that their appearances at the Games would boost equestrian sport's profile in China. "My father is a key reason why I fell in love with show jumping. I now have a better understanding of the sport. It has become a vital part of my life," said Li Yaofeng.
