Since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, why has China's athletic performance continued to improve?

Because athletes have risen to the occasion and achieved good results.

Because the 1980 Moscow Olympics were boycotted by the United States and other Western countries, and the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were boycotted by the Soviet Union, the Olympics since 1988 have been a truer reflection of the level of sports competition in the world.

From the statistics, the number of gold medals won by the United States since 1988 has been stable at around 40, with very little fluctuation; Russia and Germany have experienced a decline in sports after the Cold War, and their performance has been relatively stable since 1996; only China has risen rapidly with a stunning performance, and its gold medal tally is most difficult to predict, as its performance is the least coherent and stable.

Britain, of course, has also had a spectacular upswing in the last three Olympics, but that was more due to its big investments in traditionally dominant sports like cycling and rowing.

This success in Chinese sport started from a fairly low base - most of the 15 golds China won at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were in fact less than stellar, as 14 countries from the Soviet Union's Eastern Bloc boycotted the Games, resulting in the U.S. winning 83 gold medals, outscoring second-place Romania by a whopping 63 medals. The United States won 83 gold medals, 63 more than second-place Romania, so it was a "half-world race".

The Olympic Games (Greek: Ολυμπιακο? Αγ?νε?; French: Jeux olympiques; English: Olympic Games; Chinese abbreviation for "Olympic Games") is the world's largest comprehensive games organized by the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic Games is the world's largest comprehensive games organized by the International Olympic Committee, every four years, the duration of no more than 16 days, is the world's most influential sports event.

In the Olympic Games, countries and regions use sports to exchange their cultures, as well as to exchange sports skills, with the aim of encouraging people to keep playing sports.

The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and were named for the venue in Olympia. After the ancient Olympic Games were suspended for 1,500 years, the Frenchman Coubertin put forward the initiative of organizing the modern Olympic Games at the end of the 19th century.

The Olympic Committee was established in 1894, the first Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1896, the first Winter Olympics in 1924, the first Paralympics in 1960, the first Winter Paralympics in 1976, the first Youth Olympics in 2010, and the first Winter Youth Olympics in 2012.
