In preparation for the Doha station and Baku station competition of the international sports federation’s single World Cup held in early March, the national gymnastics team held an in-team Test in the Gymnastics Hall of the training bureau of the General Administration of Sports on February 21. The players who are about to leave for the stadium this weekend rehearsed the new set of winter training development through this test, and gradually adjusted the state to find the feeling of the competition.
The national gymnastics team has been engaged in winter training since the Liverpool world championships last year, aiming at striving to create more winning points, and constantly improving the complete set of difficulties and the quality of polishing movements. During the winter training this year, almost everyone of the team members “upgraded” new sets of different individual items, and they were looking forward to testing the results of the winter training through the competition.
On Chinese gymnastics mens team, Zou Jingyuan, Liu Yang, Xiao Ruoteng, Lin Chaopan, Yin Dexing and Chen Zhilong will be sent to participate in the Doha competition. Judging from the current registration situation, Zou Jingyuan and Liu Yang will participate in the hanging ring competition. Xiao Ruoteng, Lin Chaopan and Chen Zhilong will participate in the free exercise competition. Yin Dexing will play the saddle horse project, Xiao Ruoteng, chen Zhilong will also participate in the horizontal bar and vaulting horse competitions respectively. On Chinese gymnastics womens team, Yu Linmin and Qiu Yiyuan were selected to participate in the two races of Doha and Baku. Among them, Yu Linmin played vaulting horse projects, while Qiu Yiyuan participated in balance beam and high-low bar projects. The players who are about to go to the World Cup have completed the tests one by one according to the registered items. The national gymnastics team also asked the referee to score and explain on the spot to help the contestants enter the state in advance.
Qiu Yuyuan, who was born in 2007, performed well in last year’s national championship. However, because he was not old enough for the International Adult competition at that time, he failed to participate in the world championship, this World Cup will be her first appearance in the international arena. In the test, she successfully completed balance beam items and made some mistakes in high-low bar items. “I haven’t played for a long time. Qiu Yuyuan is a little nervous.” Sun Ping, the main coach, said that she hoped she would get exercise through the World Cup. “This child still has a lot of room for improvement. She needs to improve her international experience through the World Cup. After all, it is the first time to go abroad. There is time difference and the venue is cold. Saitai training and competition preparation may face unknown situations. These will be a test for her, so exercise is of great value.”
Liu Yang and Xiao Ruoteng, who were absent from the international competition due to surgery last year, returned to the international arena after more than a year after the Tokyo Olympics. “I haven’t participated in the Test and competition for a long time, and both of them have been successful. Although the complete combination is not long and the proficiency is not enough, I feel good.” Xiao Ruoteng said that he still had some room for progress, “I added new difficult movements in both free exercise and horizontal bar sets, and made new arrangements and adjustments in sets, I hope to test the training results at Doha.”
Liu Yang successfully completed the new set of rings and got a good score, but he thought he still owed a little. “The strength has been reserved, and strive to adjust the best state to the game.” During the winter training, his rings also updated the arrangement, carefully picking the angle of movement, and there were new changes in the method. “I have been away from the stadium for a long time and hope to find my physical condition and feeling of the game through the World Cup.” Liu Yang said.
