List of Captains/Trainers at the Olympiad

The FIDE Trainer's Commission has circulated to National Chess Federations a list of their registered Captains/Trainers to the World Chess Olympiad.

For many it is business as usual but there are a few surprises!
I have listed below those in our region as well as those in a few leading Asian countries (that caught my attention) but my understanding is that some Federations will be looking to add to and perhaps even to make changes later.
