Why the 2 Chinese olympic champions (Chen Meng and Fan Zhen Dong) are not in the most important tournament of the season? And why we haven't seen both of them since the olympics? They haven't competed since July!!! And week after week they're going down in the world ranking. Are they taking a (long) rest or aren't they allowed to compete to promote other players?
