He Kexin: He Kexin has won UB gold medal at Chinese National Gymnastics Championships 2007 with very high scores.
Li Shanshan: by 2005, 2006 and 2007, she has been rising star of Chinese WAG. She has established herself as a balance beam specialist and won many national titles: She won the gold medal with team Guangdong at Chinese National Games 2005; and won gold medal in balance beam events at Chinese National Gymnastics Championships 2006 and 2007.
Yang Yilin: she won all around at Chinese National Championships 2007
Cheng Fei:
By the age of five, Cheng Fei won her first competitive medal at a local competition. The 7-year-old Cheng was sent to Wuhan, where she joined the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education and officially entered the national sports program. Her first coach, Yao Juying remembered her as being uniquely 'hard-working' and extraordinarily focused. At ten, she was invited to join the Hubei provincial team. In late 2001, at the age of 13, she was accepted to the Chinese National Team.
She competed with the Chinese team at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece and although the team did not medal, she performed very well, scoring 9.475 on vault and 9.662 on floor.
In 2005 Cheng Fei made history at the 2005 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne, Australia, for being the first gymnast ever to successfully perform one of the most difficult vaults ever attempted by a woman. The vault later named after her “the Cheng”. She won gold medal at vault final in that tournament. Of course, she can’t be replaced in the Chinese WAG team.
Jiang Yuyuan:
She was once selected by the Guangxi Provincial Team to participate in a three-month training camp but her parents received a call from the Provincial Team asking them to bring Jiang home less than two months after the training began. Her coach at that time insisted that Jiang had talent and persuaded Jiang's parents to leave Jiang under her care and she would train Jiang personally. But it would be a dead end for a gymnast's career in China if one could not join the Provincial Team, so when opportunity came, Jiang was transferred from Guangxi to join the Zhejiang Provincial Team.
Jiang captured glory in the 2002 Provincial Gymnastics Championships for the Zhejiang Provincial Team by winning the all-around competition and, in so doing, caught the attention of the National Team coaches.
Jiang joined the National Team 2 in 2004, and was selected from a list of 300 hopefuls of Team 2 to join the National Team 1 in 2006.
