Keep an eye out for Tan Jiaxin
With this easy DTY and this bars routine (D 6.6), Tan Jiaxin is one of the new up and comers on the National Team. She pairs up nicely with Zeng Siqi’s beam and floor. I just hope both would stay healthy and make a run for the World Championships.

List of Event Final Qualifiers
Unfortunately, Tan Jiaxin, the UB champion from Doha Challenger Cup, didn’t make the final due to a fall (scored 13.10). In addition, Olympic Champion Feng Zhe failed to qualify for parallel bars final (only ranked 17th). His teammate Zou Kai didn’t make the high bar final either (scored 14.40). Missing from the still rings qualifiers is Team Captain Chen Yibing, who withdrew from the competition due to injuries.
Yao Jinnan, 2013 National All-Around Champion
Yao Jinnan has successfully claimed what’s rightfully hers at the 2013 National Championships. She was able to hang on to her lead despite a fall on balance beam (full twisting back tuck). Here are the final standings:
- Yao Jinnan 56.701
- Shang Chunsong 55.635
- Zeng Siqi 55.335
- Tan Sixin 54.001

Coach Cheng Fei
Cheng Fei showed up at the 2013 Nationals as a coach for the first time. With her help, Hubei provincial team has successfully qualified in 6th place for the National Games in September. Best wishes to Cheng Fei for her coaching career.

Yao Back on Top ^_^
Yao Jinnan has qualified 1st into the all-around competition and lead the rest of the field by almost 3 points at the 2013 Chinese National Gymnastics Championship. She’s still competing her London Olympics routines at this point. We’ll see if she upgrades for the final. Here are the standings after the qualifications; all scores are based on the ridiculous and demoralizing Chinese judging system, so feel free to add a point or two to the total ^.~:
- Yao Jinnan 57.468
- Shang Chunsong 54.735
- Huang Qiushuang 54.735
- Zeng Siqi 54.635
- Liu Tingting 54.582
- Xiao Kangjun 54.402
- Tan Sixin 54.401
- Huang Huidan 54.168
- Luo Peiru 53.868
- Lu Jiaqi 53.768
