Balance beam

When it comes to Chinese women's gymnastics, many people think of uneven bars first. In fact, the balance beam and the Chinese women's gymnastics are not as close together.

As early as the World Championships in 1981, Chinese players showed good balance beam skills. Chen Yongyan and Wu Jiani were runner-up and third place. In the 1990 World Cup gymnastics competition, Yang Bo overcame the crowd with a high score of 9.950 points, becoming China's first gymnastics world champion in balance beam. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics gymnastics singles final, teenager Lu Li, who won the uneven bars championship, chased after the victory and won the silver medal on the balance beam. This is the first balance beam medal won by a Chinese gymnast in the Olympic Games. Eight years later in the Sydney Olympics, Liu Xuan, a latecomer to the end of his gymnastics career, set a perfect end to his gymnastics career with an unparalleled set of difficult moves, and became the first balance beam Olympic champion in the history of Chinese gymnastics. Over the years, Yang Bo, Mo Huilan, Liu Xuan, Ling Jie, Sun Xiaoyi, Fan Ye, Li Ya, Deng Linlin, and Lu Lu have won the "three big" balance beam championships 11 times. Chinese players have also become a unique balance beam field. Landscape.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2006 World Gymnastics Championships held in Aarhus, Denmark, the Chinese women's team unexpectedly defeated the United States team, and for the first time in history took the team championship. In this decisive battle, the Chinese female general is in the third competition item-the balance beam, and turned the disadvantages with an outstanding performance in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for the final win.

However, there are unpredictable circumstances, people have good luck and good fortune, China's women's gymnastics balance beam players-Cheng Fei and Li Shanshan from Huangshi, Hubei, ultimately cannot escape the historical fact of losing the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games balance beam gold medal.
