… the training halls in Tokyo at the 2011 World Championships. Watch how the defending Olympic Champions prepare for a competition.
This workout was filmed on October 10, the day before the 2011 women’s World Team Final. The Chinese team made a few errors and settled for the team bronze medal for the second year in a row. Later in the week, Yao Jinnan won the all around bronze medal, and Sui Lu was crowned 2011 Balance beam World Champion.
Gymnasts in this video: He Kexin, Jiang Yuyuan, Tan Sixin, Yao Jinnan, Huang Qiushuang, and Sui Lu.

It’s amazing that such slight built and flexible girls can do that much difficulty. The Russians, too, do such “pretty” gymnastics (PHOTOS).
Too bad we live in an era where “start value” and consistency are what WINS. I’d love to see the best gymnasts in 2011 do compulsory routines again in a separate competition from Worlds.
