Young Chinese gymnasts find their international rhythm at Beijing showpiece

Going head-to-head with strong competitors from Russia, Belarus and Uzbekistan, young Chinese gymnasts, such as 15-year-old individual all-around winner Wang Qi, impressed with the stable execution of their routines and distinctive choreography, which convinced fans that the squad will remain a strong contender at LA28, despite a trio of retirements following the Paris Games in 2024, where Team China won the country's first Olympic gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics from the all-around group event.

Wang, representing the new generation of Chinese talent, said the team is ready to perform on a bigger global stage.

"I think I did a good job in my overall execution, and I just need to work on some of the details," said Wang, who made her senior international debut earlier this year.
