-Also: Chinese and Korean (I think) Olympic athletes are listed onscreen with the family name first, e.g. Wang B., which makes sense. What confuses me is that the Japanese athletes are listed with the family name second, e.g. M. Tabata, just like the athletes from western countries. I thought Japan's name order was the other way around. Am I wrong, or is there some reason for this?
