Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, July 25 (Reporters Lu Xianting and Ye Shan) At the Ariake Gymnasium in Tokyo without spectators, the cheering and cheering of Chinese girls became a highlight on the stadium. In the Women’s Gymnastics Qualifying Tournament for the Tokyo Olympics on the 25th, the young Chinese Xiaohua advanced to the team final with his stable performance and ranked third in overall score. In the two traditional advantages of uneven bars and balance beam, the final “double insurance” model was also formed.

After encountering the “Waterloo” that won a gold medal in the Rio Olympics, the Chinese team, after five years of precipitation, through layers of selection, sent the current best team to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. Lu Yufei, Zhang Jin, Tang Qianjing, Ou Yushan, and 16-year-old balance beam high-difficulty Guan Chenchen who played in the team competition are all on the Olympic stage for the first time. Fan Yilin, the champion of the uneven bars of the two-time World Gymnastics Championships, is regarded as the veteran of the team and bears the single gold medal. The important task of contention.
Unlike group events such as football and basketball, gymnastics is an independent performance of each participant, equipment and stage, but when the Chinese team players are on the field, it is as if the entire team is playing. “Top, jump, stretch…” The players on the field were doing movements, and the cheering and cheering of the girls off the field resounded throughout the venue.
“I think the team is very important. Everyone must encourage each other, cheer together, and shout the essentials. This will be of great help to everyone. Anyway, I like everyone to shout to me, because in this way I feel very confident.” Tang Qianjing Said in an interview with reporters after the game.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Guan Chenchen’s difficulty on the balance beam was so great that he secured the top spot in the qualifying round with 14.933 points, and Tang Qianjing ranked second with a difference of 0.6 points. Tang Qianjing and Lu Yufei also qualified for the individual all-around finals. Lu Yufei and Fan Yilin both entered the uneven bars finals.
The competition for women’s teams is even more intense. The Russian women’s team, which appeared in the same group as the Chinese team, showed absolute strength in uneven bars, vaulting and other events. The total team score was ahead of the Chinese team, especially after the Chinese team’s last event, floor exercise, the score gap widened to 3.699 points. .
Ou Yushan, who played the third floor exercise for the Chinese team, was fined 0.1 points for an out-of-bounds. He scored 12.466 points and the difficulty score was only 4.800 points. The Chinese team filed an appeal for this and was re-examined by the referee committee. The difficulty score was changed to 5.000 points. In the end, Ou Yushan’s floor exercise score was 12.666 points. The total team score of the Chinese team is fixed at 166.863 points.
The defending champions, the US team, which debuted afterwards, performed even more eye-catching. Although the famous player Byers was fined 0.3 points for a major error in his own advantage in floor exercise, he still got a good score of 14.133 points by virtue of difficult moves. This was not the only mistake that Byers made in the game that day. She, who was once invincible, also appeared flaws in the following projects, and even made mistakes in stepping out of the mat. However, Byers’ individual scores are not low, and the US team also won the team qualifications by virtue of its overall strength.
