The long-awaited Olympics held in China is finally here :)
And today's the event I've anticipated most: Woman Gymnastics!
China of cos is well known for their gymnasts so there's gonna be a lot of excitment added as well.
Gymnasts to look out for on the Chinese team include Yang Yilin, a native of
Guangdong province. Yang is an Uneven Bars specialist, but is also seen as a
chance for a medal in the All-Around event. He Kexin is also an expert on the
Uneven Bars and has publicly stated that her goal at Beijing 2008 is to beat the
United States' Nastia Liukin. Probably China's most well-known female gymnast is
20-year-old Cheng Fei, from Hunan province. Cheng competed at Athens 2004, but
did not win a medal. She is a specialist in the Vault and Floor Exercise
events.(Taken from Beijing Olympic Games 2008 Website article)
Coach Lu Shanzhen and 20-year-old gymnast Cheng Fei.
She's only 1.52m tall but she's fantastically amazing.
Here's more photos of her training the Balanced Beam on Friday:
The Floor:
Really impressive stuff she's got.
Ok. Enough pictures of her for now.
Here's 16-year-old Jiang Yuyuan:
No. I don't think her name is fishball.
But nevertheless, she's a cute girl, isn't she? :D

Yes. I've said enough of 20-year-old Cheng Fei.
Folks, this is 16-year-old Yang Yilin.
She's not Cheng Fei's sister. (duh)
But both of them look awfully alike huh?
Go China! Win the US team! Wipe that smirk off the US girl gymnasts (especially Shawn Johnson -.-)
