Trying to build a team around consistent medicore scores is not some sure way of getting on the podium. You can get outscored by other teams who do their best if you're not bringing your better routines, and you're hurting yourself for event finals when you select a team in this overly defensive manner. You also reduce your chance of actually winning the team event.
I have watched China walk away from too many podiums trying to reach for the moon. I prefer defense now.
Mainly because it's almost as weird to refer to Chinese people by only their last names as it is to refer to them by their first names.
Other skills named after Chinese athletes don't use the first name though. It's just a Cheng on vault, not a Cheng Fei vault. The Mo salto. Shang on UB.
The FIG is inconsistent, China probably just submitted it as the Yang Bo because of the reasons IratePanda explained upthread, and FIG went with it.
