I assume the dudes on the WAG podiums are coaches? What's the sheet of paper they're holding?
Yes, it's their coaches. The papers are just award certificates.

Whip-triple twist-punch front attempt from Zhang Qi at 14:40 in the video above. Have many other gymnasts done that tumble?
I feel like neither of them should have won. They did the same vault twice, just different hand placements.Deng Yalan should have won that. One of Liu Jinru's legs goes into almost a full tuck position mid-air on her vaults and her landings/amplitude weren't better either.
OMG, you knew my question! Thank you!The Liu Yang on PB is not Rings master Liu Yang from Liaoning, this is a different Liu Yang from Hunan.
I'm surprised Qin Xinyi wasn't selected. Great team otherwise. I'm going to call it the Zhang (+2) Squad.Men's Asian Championships Team
Shi Cong
Yang Haonan
Lan Xingyu
Huang Mingqi
Tian Hao
Alternate: Xie Chenyi
Women's Asian Championships Team
Zhang Kexin
Zhang Qingying
Zhang Yihan
Zhou Yaqin
Du Siyu
Zhang Xinyi
^ One of these will be the alternate. I'm thinking it's Zhang Xinyi only because a picture I saw on Tieba had CHN in parenthesis for only Xie Chenyi and Zhang Xinyi's names and Xie Chenyi is the official alternate for MAG.
祝福体操小花们_ on weibo said that the women's team isn't finalized yet though, so I'm unsure if this was just submitted as a nominative team and maybe isn't 100% official yet.

By any chance, could you provide a link to the rosters on the event website? I searched long and low but couldn't find them. (Granted, I had two noisy tween girls in the house all afternoon, so my concentration and focus were not 100%.)

Her provincial team (Yunnan) might want to protect her for the National Games finals later this year. Conversely, they might not have enough clout to get her on a team for an international competition. (Yunnan is not exactly a WAG powerhouse. I think they've only had two or three National Team members in the last 20 years.)I think it's the correct decision, but it doesn't make any sense that Zhang Xinyi was instead selected. Yang Fanyuwei should be on the team, unless she requested not to go for some reason.
Whatever happened to Wei Xiaoyuan? She won bars at Worlds two years in a row, and I feel like she disappeared after 2023. She's only 20, and she was so good, that you'd think she would still be a contender, but...
