Chengdu, China, May 7 (Reporter Kang Shaohan) The 2021 National Gymnastics Championships and Tokyo Olympic Games Selection Tournament and the 14th National Games Gymnastics Qualification Tournament began on the evening of the 7th in the women's individual all-around event competition, and Henan's Lu Yufei played steadily and won the crown for the first time. Zhang Jin of the Shanghai team and Li Shijia of sichuan, the host, won the second and third places respectively.
The top 24 players in the all-around preliminary round advance to the final, and the combined results of the preliminary and final matches determine the all-around medal. Li Shijia grabbed the first place in the preliminaries, Lu Yufei of Henan team ranked second, and Zhang Jin of Shanghai team ranked third. Guan Chenchen of Zhejiang team, Tang Xijing of Beijing team and Luo Rui of Guangdong team ranked fourth to sixth respectively. Another all-rounder, Wei Xiaoyuan, also qualified for the final.
That night, the top six players in the preliminary round appeared in the same group, and the competitions were vaulting, uneven bars, balance beam and free gymnastics. Unlike Xiao Ruoteng's ride in last night's men's individual all-around final, the women's all-around showdown is full of suspense. In the end, Lu Yufei won the gold medal with the stable performance of four events, and Li Shijia, who ranked first in the preliminary round with a total score of 113.697 points. It was also her first time winning the project. Zhang Jin, who also played steadily, won the silver medal with a total score of 112.596 points. Li Shijia was affected by the falling instrument of the third balance beam and won the bronze medal with a score of 112.564 points.

After the game, coach Zhang Haiyan scored a high score of 95 points for his disciple Lu Yufei. "Fifi is a more hard-working child, and she has encountered many difficulties in recent years, such as injuries. But she has never given up on her dreams, and we are happy to see Fifi's progress bit by bit. Zhang Haiyan commented that Lu Yufei's performance that night was many highlights, but the balance beam and vault 720 still need to be improved.
As a member of the national training team, Lu Yufei is currently actively preparing for the Olympic Games. "Walking off the podium everything starts from scratch, I hope that Fifi will keep in mind the mission, go back and continue to work hard, and do a good job every day."

Zhang Jin stood on the podium of the 2018 Gymnastics All-Around Runner-up. "Compared to the previous two years, I feel like I've grown. For example, I used to be very nervous in the game, but now I can better control my mentality and enjoy the game! Zhang Jin said after the game.
Although Li Shijia made a mistake in the third balance beam, because the preliminary results were larger, the total result after the first three rounds was only 0.20 points behind the first-placed Lu Yufei, and the last free exercise still had the opportunity to overtake as long as it was played normally. Li Shijia appeared in the finale of the free gymnastics competition, but unfortunately the little girl failed to withstand the pressure and appeared "out of bounds" flaws.
Although she only won the bronze medal in the end, Li Shijia was still very happy. "This is the first time I have stood on the all-around podium, I used to see others standing on it, and today I finally stood on it!" It seems that this year's winter training is effective, and the increased difficulty of winter training has also been used this time! ”

Thousands of spectators came to the Dongan Lake Gymnasium that night to cheer for the players, and many spectators also held up signs that read "Li Xiaohua (Li Shijia) Cheers". Li Shijia said that the cheers of the audience are not the reason for the poor performance. "Actually, so many people cheer me on. The overall performance of the final is not as good as the preliminary round, because the preliminary round is a fighting mentality. The order of appearances in the finals is not as comfortable as in the preliminaries, plus it is a little nervous, and the physical strength may be a little less, so there are some mistakes. ”
Li Shijia also shouldered the heavy responsibility of preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and she said that she would seriously sum up the experience next. "The more experience you have gained, the more mistakes you will not make again."
Tang Xijing of the Beijing team finally ranked fourth, Ou Yushan of the Guangdong team, Wei Xiaoyuan of the Guangxi team, Guan Chenchen of the Zhejiang team ranked sixth, seventh and ninth respectively, and Luo Rui ranked eighth. (End)
