Chinese Taipei at the Summer OlympicsDue to the political status of Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC) competed as Chinese Taipei at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In addition, they flew a flag especially designed for the games separate from the flag of the Republic of China. In Mainland China, the team is known as the "Zhongguo Taibei (Taipei, China, where China implies the PRC) Team" (中国台北队), and in Taiwan the team is known as the "Zhonghua (another variation of the term China, but obtained here as an abbreviation of Zhonghua Taibei) Team" (中華隊). In Taekwondo, Chen Shih Hsin became the first Taiwanese athlete and ROC citizen to win a gold medal at the Olympics. She was followed twenty minutes later by Chu Mu Yen. Pursuant to further IOC rules, the National Banner Song was played in place of the national anthem of the Republic of China at their awards ceremonies. This was the 15th appearance at the Summer Olympics by the Republic of China (the 6th under the title "Chinese Taipei").
