Qualification for the Olympic Games is not decided by world rankings. National ranking and continental ranking are what add up to an entry. A top rank in Africa or South America is better than a top rank in Asia. After all, every 'continent' must be represented at the Olympic Games. See the threads on the 2008 Olympic Games for further reading
Obviously not Some have retired (Lee Hyun Il and perhaps Kendrick Lee) but Boonsak Ponsana, Ville Lang, and Hsieh Yu-Hsin are still competing in the tourneys.
Are you kidding me? LHI win 4th in the Olympic and Boonsak is also 4th in the 04 edition. The rest of the players compete regularly in SS and GP.
