On the afternoon of May 9, Beijing time, the 2021 National Gymnastics Championships and Tokyo Olympic Trials and the 14th National Games Qualification Tournament decided the last five individual champions in Chengdu.

The balance beam is a traditional advantage of women's gymnastics in China, and our athletes have won many top honors in the world championships in this event in the past, including olympic champions. In today's balance beam final, the first Zhejiang team Guan Chenchen dropped his equipment and lost the opportunity to punch the card; Beijing team Tang Xijing's overall performance was acceptable, getting 14.466.
Li Shijia, a 17-year-old beautiful girl from the Sichuan team, played for the third time, and she ranked first in the preliminary round, which is today's favorite to rush the championship. Li Shijia's facial features are exquisite, her smile is clear and sweet, her eyes are bright and energetic, whether she looks at it from a distance or up close, her face or her face is sideways, and her temperament is quite good. Two years ago, at the World Championships, Li Shijia won the third place in the balance beam. In this final, Xiao Shijia basically played out the characteristics of her body stretch and beautiful movements, and the overall stability of the equipment was relatively stable, and the referee gave her 15.033 points.

In the men's horizontal bar final, Guangdong Ji Lianshen ranked 1st at 14.333, Lin Chaopan finished second, and Jiangsu's Sun Wei ranked third.

Shanxi continued its solid performance in the preliminary round to Xudong, scoring 14.449 points. Huang Mingqi of the Guangxi team who played in the finale had the highest difficulty, although he made a serious mistake in the first jump and landed on the ground, only scored 14.2 points, but with the second jump 14.9 to make up for the catch-up, he finally got the highest score of 14.550 points in the whole game, and successfully won the gold medal in the men's vaulting final!
