gymnast He Kexin – older and taller

Our controversial Olympic Champion on Bars is growing up.

Looks like she has taken out the Tkachev, instead connecting layout Jaeger to Pak. The new FIG rules count only the 8 most difficult skills rather than 10.

Her kip on the high rail looks less laboured than in the Olympics. Likely because she’s taller and catches higher on the transfer from low.

UPDATE: I hear she’s back trying to compete all-around.
