*NOTE: Although the People’s Republic of China protested against the participation of Taiwan in the Games, they were allowed to compete under the “neutral” Portuguese name of Formosa (Beautiful Island). On the other hand, unlike previous Chinese Olympic teams, I keep the traditional transcription of Taiwanese names according to their local pronunciation (instead of the usual Pinyin system used in mainland China). Compare, for example, Tong Suet Fong (唐雪舫) with the expected Mandarin form Táng Xuĕfăng.
