Recently, wave after wave of farewell waves have made sports fans can't stand it. From the end of the National Games to today, it is only about 1 week, and many gymnasts have collectively bid farewell to the field, and Chinese gymnastics has also ushered in another farewell season. At present, there are already 2 world champions who have chosen to stay away from the arena for the time being, and whether they will return to the stage of the competition in the future depends on the specific situation. In addition, there are 5 gymnasts who have officially retired, and they will never be seen on the field again.
The two athletes who bid farewell temporarily were Fan Yilin and Liu Tingting, the former of whom had won the World Championships uneven bars championship twice, and was known as another Chinese gymnastics "high and low bar princess" after He Kexin. However, as she grew older, Fan Yilin's injuries increased, resulting in a serious decline in competitive status. However, at that time, it was a critical stage in preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and Fan Yilin chose conservative treatment, but she did not expect that the Olympic Games were postponed for 1 year, which directly disrupted her planned deployment. As a result, at this year's Tokyo competition, Fan Yilin made a serious mistake of falling down after landing on the ground, and failed to win a medal.
Fortunately, when she arrived at the National Games, Fan Yilin successfully won the championship on the uneven bars, and her main task was to recuperate from her injuries for the time being, and for the time being, she did not consider whether to officially retire. Liu Tingting is a balance beam star and the current captain of the Chinese gymnastics women's team, and in her career, Liu Tingting has won 4 World Cup gold medals. The pinnacle of Liu Tingting's career was at the 2018 World Championships, when she won the gold medal on the balance beam, winning against american player Biles. At this National Games, Liu Tingting followed the Guangdong team to win the team championship, and after the game, she said that she wanted to rest for a while, and whether she would come back in the future was not clear.
In addition to the two world champions, there are also 5 gymnasts who have officially retired. Among them, Chen Yile and Deng Shudi are the most well-known, the former is a famous women's all-around king, who has won championships in both the Asian Games and the Asian Championships. However, in the international arena, Chen Yile only stood on the podium, has not yet won heavyweight honors, she also failed to appear on the Tokyo Olympic Games, and was determined to retire after the National Games. Deng Shudi is a famous Chinese men's all-around king who once won a silver medal in the team at the World Championships, and the 2019 Military Games is the peak of his career. At that time, Deng Shudi won the individual free gymnastics championship, the all-around runner-up and the team championship.
Although Deng Shudi was selected for the Tokyo Olympic squad, due to his over 30 years of age and obvious decline in form, he did not get many opportunities to perform. At this National Games, Deng Shudi won the silver medal and the horizontal bar bronze medal in free exercise, which can also be regarded as a perfect ending for his career. Liu Jinru, a 21-year-old vaulter, Luo Huan, a 21-year-old all-around star, and Mao Yi, a 22-year-old, have also announced their retirement. Among them, Mao Yi withdrew from the national team as early as 2019, and briefly returned this year to prepare for the National Games, but failed to realize his wishes, and finally had no choice but to retire.
