I agree - Hong Kong is the common name and the "China" disambiguation is not necessary and makes the title too long.

I have now realised that this is a wider issue, with the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics pages for Hong Kong being similarly named, and the same being true of all of the Summer Olympics pages since 2000. Where is best to discuss this?

The last move broke the name. There should be no comma after "China". Look at the categories to see the naming conventions for these articles. —Preceding

With out the comma, it will look like two separate clauses: "Hong Kong" and "China at the 2010 Winter Olympics". The end comma concludes the parenthetical (the
qualifier), and is needed. However, I believe that the qualification could be scrapped altogether. There is only one Hong Kong.

Support. "Hong Kong" is the common name, and the "China" disambiguation is not necessary and makes the title too long.

Support The entity is "Hong Kong" according to the IOC, just like Taiwan is "Chinese Taipei"

Support. "Hong Kong, China" became the IOC's official name for this NOC after the 1997 transition of power, but there is no reason to use (longer) official names for these Olympic results articles, per
WP:COMMONNAME. For example, we have
Russia at the 2010 Winter Olympics and not "Russian Federation", "United States" and not "United States of America", and "Macedonia" instead of any other appellation (thanks to
WP:MOSMAC2). Also note that the 2010 article is improperly named, with an extra comma after China. As named, the {{flagIOC}} templates will not work with HKG. Lastly, I can find no source that says that any Hong Kong participants have qualified for 2010, so that article might need to be deleted anyway (as per the premature creations of
Albania at the 2010 Winter Olympics etc.) —

Support. No need to qualify Hong Kong, as there is only one.

Support as per nominator.

Support there may be
Two Chinas, depending on your political view, but there is only one Hong Kong. Clarifying where there is no doubt is just extra characters.

I don't think Han needs 2 1/2 links to her name in an article that could be completely read without scrolling.
I think you know where the 1/2 link is...
CUt it down to 2, one prose, one body.

Mention they didn't win any medals in the Winter Olympics in the background?
Since the events don't use commas for the length (for example, 1000 m), you probably shouldn't use it for the prose.
"On 20 February, she participated in the 1,500 metres event, in heat two, she came in last with a time of 2 minutes and 35 seconds, which placed her 32nd for the event." Split this sentence.
Taken care of everything except the commas, I don't know WHY the article titles don't use commas, but most varities of English use some sort of divider for four digit numbers, mine included.
