Due 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 "Zhonggao 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 and China means ROC ) Team" (中華隊).
During the Opening Ceremony, the banner held by Chinese Taipei read (in Greek) "KINEZIKH ΤΑΪΠΕΪ", yet the team marched under the letter "T" (as if though the second word came first), so that it would not have to march immediately after China. The same order was observed in the placement of the flags around the Athens Olympic Stadium.
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").
