2024 Chinese National Championships

[IratePanda]

How many Chinese gymnasts (female). Make two Olympics? I can think of Deng lin lin and Cheng Fei. I know I'm missing some but it's seems really rare that any Chinese make two Olympic teams.

Liu Xuan
Kui Yuanyuan
He Kexin
Jiang Yuyuan (reserve in 2012)
Fan Yilin

I know Ou Yushan has her moments, but I'd love to see her at another Olympics.

Yes--but I don't want to see China lose yet another team medal because she's too injured to perform at full capacity. This isn't her fault--she's been mismanaged since her junior days. It's just agonizing to watch.

I only want Ou Yushan on the team (assuming no further progress) if Zhang Qingying is still restricted to just BB by the end of June. Even without the vault upgrade materializing, Qingying still has a slightly higher scoring potential across the events they will be used on (neither is doing UB in team final) and is at least equal in consistency, while also having a better chance for an individual BB medal.

If one of Du Siyu or Zhang Yihan has an injury or some other problem in the coming months, then it should be Huang Zhuofan taking that spot.

BTW, what happened to Wei Xiaoyuan?

BTW, what happened to Wei Xiaoyuan?

She struggled through most of 2023, she made the University Games team but didn't do well there, went back to her provincial team, then came back to the National team training center earlier this year. She was physically present on the floor at these Championships but I don't believe she competed. She isn't in the mix this year, we will probably see her at the National Games next year.

In other news Shang Chunsong just won gold in the women's freestyle at an FIG World Cup for Parkour in Montpellier. She posted a video of her performance in the final with her reaction to seeing that she was in 1st here: https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034:5033454748762135?from=old_pc_videoshow

She’s still absolutely tiny. Bronze medalist has proper Parkour legs. Ouch

I am not a fan of parkour but I've always had a soft spot for Shang Chunsong. It's great to see her happy.
