Guangxi gymnastics double happiness at the door. On the afternoon of October 23, the 2021 Gymnastics World Championships continued in Kitakyushu, Japan, and 17-year-old Nanning sister Wei Xiaoyuan won the gold medal in the women's uneven bars final, winning the first world championship of her career. Lan Xingyu, who came later in Liuzhou, won the gold medal in the ring, and the Chinese gymnastics team has won three gold medals at this World Championships.
Wei Xiaoyuan eventually became a world champion
The Guangxi gymnastics team has four players representing China in this world gymnastics championships, namely Wei Xiaoyuan of the women's team, and Huang Mingqi, Hu Xuwei and Lan Xingyu of the men's team.
Among them, Nanning girl Wei Xiaoyuan is the most popular. With her outstanding performance in a series of events, she was selected for the Olympic training roster of the Chinese gymnastics team, but unfortunately did not appear in Tokyo. But at the National Games in September, Wei Xiaoyuan won the all-around championship and won a women's all-around gold medal for Guangxi after 56 years. After breaking through this layer of window paper, Wei Xiaoyuan officially walked to the front desk and played as the main force of the Chinese team at this year's Gymnastics World Championships.

In the all-around match on the 21st, Wei Xiaoyuan, the only chinese team to play, had bad luck and regretted dropping the bar in his own strong uneven bar, ranking only sixth. After the game, Wei Xiaoyuan regrettably said that he was not satisfied with his own performance, "The first time I participated in an international competition, I was a little nervous, and my control ability was not enough."
However, in the high and low bar final on the 23rd, Wei Xiaoyuan already had a good attitude, completed a set of movements with a difficulty of up to 6.500 smoothly, and finally won the championship with 14.733 points. Another Chinese player, Luo Rui, won the bronze medal and Brazil's Andrade won the silver medal.
Lan Xingyu's hanging ring won another gold
In the subsequent men's ring final, Lan Xingyu, another Guangxi player in the national team, played, this Liuzhouzai, who had won the World Cup ring championship and won the runner-up of the ring at this year's National Games, was experienced and took out a set of actions with a difficulty of 6.400 in the Japanese arena to complete the score of 8.800 and a total score of 15.200 points to win the championship, becoming the only player in the final to score more than 15 points.
