It has been an eventful day for China, as the host nation registered four gold medals to strengthen its position at the top of the standings.

I have a lot of appreciation and respect for athletes who participate in this event, but at the same time I have to say very honestly that there is a certain tension missing, because it is a considerable level lower than what you see. It is also a pity that very little media attention is given to it, otherwise more people would possibly follow all the matches in this tournament. For these people it has been extra hard work for the past 4 years because of their disability.

ya.ya.yo!

Agreed there is no media attention on it because not a lot of peoe will watch it long term.  Media needs clicks and views they really don't care what the content is.  I honestly didn't even know it was going on until I just seen this thread.  Big ups to all the participants, being the best at anything is never easy.
