At this year's Paris Olympic Games, the national cycling team would compete in events that could be divided into four main categories and dozens of smaller disciplines.
Of these, track cycling and BMX freestyle were the two categories with the most sub-events.
As for road cycling and mountain biking, these two categories combined for just five sub-events.
Apart from the men's road race, which had two participants, the other four sub-events each had only a single participant.
It was a bit of a shame that Huang Chong hadn't secured a spot for the country in the men's road ITT last year.
The qualification spots for this event were obtained in a completely different way from the road race; they couldn't be earned just by competing in the Asian Championships.
But every cloud has a silver lining. Since he and Lü Xianjing didn't have to participate in the ITT, they could conserve more energy.
