Chilean and Luxembourg paddlers of Chinese origin reunite in Paris Olympics

Two Chinese female table tennis players, once teammates on China's national team over 40 years ago, never had the chance to compete in the Olympics representing China. Decades later, Ni Xialian, 61, and Tania Zeng, 58, found themselves competing in Paris Olympics for their second home.

So it means, the bottom ranked in China can easily be the top ranked in other countries.
