Sports Administration optimistic for medals / 里約奧運 體育署目標奪三金二銀一銅　　　　　　　　　　

The Rio Olympics is getting closer. This year, 58 athletes of 18 different sports from Taiwan will participate in the international event, marking the largest Taiwanese delegation in history. For them, a goal has been set. The government hopes that together they will bring home three golds, two silvers and one bronze medal. PTS has obtained broadcasting rights for this year's olympic games, so you know where to go for the latest information during the games. For the first time ever, band members are performing at the cafeteria in National Sports Training Center. It was a relaxing moment for athletes who have been preparing for the upcoming Olympics in Rio. ==CHEN SSU YU, womens' table tennis== It keeps up our morale, we see these many people are supporting us. We have more athletes competing than in previous Olympics, so the chances of winning are higher. How many Taiwan athletes are competing for Olympic medals this year? The Sports Administration says there are 59 athletes qualified to compete in 18 categories of sports for medals. Four athletes are ready to participate in their fourth Olympics: Rendy Lu Yen-hsun in tennis, Lin I-chun in archery, Cheng I-ching and Chuang Chih-yuan in table tennis. ==CHUANG CHIH-YUAN, mens' table tennis== I don't think of how many times I have participated in Olympics, I just compete at my best in the games. I think maybe the most crucial element is our mental state. There are also many new athletes, in wrestling, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, sailing, rowing, equestrian sport, and golf. The goal for the Sports Administration is winning three gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal. ==HO JOW-FEI, Director-General Sports Administration== We have athletes competing in weight lifting, archery, taekwondo, badminton and other sports. They all have potential to win Olympic gold medals. Taiwan won one silver and four bronzes in the Sydney 2000 Olympics; two golds, two silvers and one bronze in Athens in 2004; four bronzes in Beijing in 2008, and one gold and one bronze in London in 2012. This year, weight lifting, taekwondo and archery all have a good chance of winning gold medals, and there are also opportunities in other sports.
