J does not represent Korea or Japan.
F competes Volleyball but not for Korea. T represents USA but not for Volleyball or Rifle shooting. In the given information, we get:-
$\begin{array}{ccc}Member& Country& Game\\ L& Australia& Athletics\\ H& \dots \dots & \dots \dots \\ K& China& Archery\\ T& USA& \dots \dots \\ F& \dots \dots & Volleyball\\ J& \dots \dots & \dots \dots \\ R& \dots \dots & RifleShooting\end{array}$
Only the Game football left so, it is clear that
$\begin{array}{ccccc}T& \to & USA& \to & Football\end{array}$
J does not represent Korea or Japan it means it represents Russia
$\begin{array}{ccccc}J& \to & Russia& \to & Tennis\end{array}$
Only member H left, so it represents Japan and competes for Boxing.
$\begin{array}{ccccc}H& \to & Japan& \to & Boxing\end{array}$
Only Korea is left, so
$\begin{array}{ccccc}R& \to & Korea& \to & RifleShooting\end{array}$
Now, we show the information of tabular form:-

$\begin{array}{ccc}Member& Countries& Game\\ L& Australia& Athletics\\ H& Japan& Boxing\\ K& China& Archery\\ T& USA& Football\\ F& France& Volleyball\\ J& Russia& Tennis\\ R& Korea& RifleShooting\end{array}$
