Beautiful doesn't describe this routine. It is absolutely phenomenal. A gold medal well deserved!

[@hmrhuang]

not with the error on the full-twisting straddle flip

[@JBluver18]

I'd love to know China's secret to beam training. Their athletes are always amazing.

@AnnaPavlovaFan the only year before the Olympics since 1995 when Mo Huilan won, when a Chinese girl didn't win BB was 2007, when Nastia Liukin won. That year Li Shanshan got the silver medal. After a fall. Mo Huilan, Ling Jie, Fan Ye and now Sui Lu have all won BB the year before the olympics. Pity Liu Xuan is the only girl to win at the Olympics.

I love that dismount!

[@agators212]

@AnnaPavlovaFan haha...i agree...kinda like its wiping all those years that yang bo and mo huilan should have dominated this event that they had been stronger metally

[@sgeetha7350]

you can add Deng Linlin to that now :)

[@Zarumaans]

You can now add Guan Chenchen to that list 😆

[@bernardmvella]

I wish gymnasts still did Gainer dismounts but the only ones you can really do now and medal with are 2.5's... Too bad cause they're so lovely.

[@cheenotna2939]

And in 2017-2020 CoPs, u can do double nowww

[@liweiwei2008]

@raichmaneuvers that is the nonsense, the drum is cheering for the other events in the statium, it happens quite often in the gymnastics final events, usually several finals are going on at the same time

[@louislocke]

No. She got the bronze on UB in 99 Worlds EF. Her teammate Huang Mandan won the silver. That was a minor mistake from Bart.

[@ShawnVikaKomova2012]

She coaches Zeng Siqi now.

[@ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@AnnaPavlovaFan That's how I feel about Romania.

[@gymlovr828]
