The Chinese Taipei Olympic delegation got here Sunday

at this year's Olympics.

Chinese Taipei won two gold, two silver and one bronze medal four years ago. That marked the end of a long Olympic gold drought and moved the team to 31st on the medal tally.

The team from Chinese Taipei was one of many teams arriving at Capital City International Airport for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Sunday.

The athletes from across the Straits were the focus of a lot of the attention of local media.

The 133-member Olympic delegation was given a warm welcome at the Airport.

Peng Kunlang, rowing coach of Chinese Taipei Olympic Team said "It's very welcoming here. It's great. It feels like coming home."

The team is determined to match its tally of two gold medals in 2004 -and equally determined to win at least as many medals over all as it took home from the Athens Games.

The highly regarded Chinese Taipei baseball team is scheduled to arrive in Beijing, Aug. 10th.
