There's a small mistake with the Chinese flags used in Olympic medal ceremonies
Chinese viewers noticed an inaccuracy with the Chinese flags displayed in medal ceremonies at shooting events during the Summer Games
The flag of China features one large star, which represents the Communist Party, and four smaller stars that represent the people of China. On the official flag, the outer stars have a point directed toward the large star's central point.
On the flag used the 10m air rifle, the points of the outer stars were all aligned identically, in parallel with the large star.
The same incorrect flag was used Sunday during the medal ceremony for the women's 10m pistol shooting event, won by Zhang Mengxue. A CCTV anchor called out the mistake on Weibo.
The Rio Olympic Committee responded by noting that China's own Olympic committee approved the flags.
