Look for China's first gold medal to come from one of these athletes today:

Shooting: Du Li (10-meter air rifle, women)
Du Li (杜丽) won gold in Athens. If she wins today, it should be the first gold medal of these games, period.

Weightlifting: Chen Xinxia or Yang Lian (杨炼) (48 kg, women)
Chen won gold in three different events in the 2007 Olympics. She is the world record holder in the clean & jerk. Yang won gold at the 2006 world championships and holds the record in the snatch.

Fencing: Tan Xue (sabre, women)
Tan was the sabre silver medalist at the 2007 world championships.

Shooting: Tan Zongliang (10-meter air rifle, men)
