Paralympics flag of Chinese Taipei hoisted for silver medal winner
Lee Kai-lin won the silver medal in the women's up to 48kg Paralympics judo. At the medal ceremony the Chinese Taipei flag hoisted is a special one for the paralympics with the three agitos - they have one for the olympics with the five rings. Taiwan calls itself the Republic of China - but the People's Republic of China objects to this name - so for international sport the compromise is the name Chinese Taipei.
