“weird that the Cheng vault originated from Chinese WAG/coaching, but it took like nearly 15 years for us to see it again from one of their athletes (Yu Linmin)”

[16-233]

Apparently ylm learned four different VT entries and is comfortable with all of them so she can upgrade whichever.

Any Chinese Juniors to watch that turn senior in 2019 and beyond?

There is Tang Xijing who is very likely to be going to YOG this year. She has a planned 6.8 beam routine with a super floaty layout and triple twist dismount and a 6.0 bars.

Then there is Qi Qi and Yu Linmin who are really good vaulters. They both have DTYs, Qi Qi attempted a Rudi while Yu Linmin has competed a Cheng.

Yin Sisi has a difficult beam routine (BHS+BHS+layout, FHS+front tuck), a pretty Gomez turn on floor and is probably the next best 2019 all arounder

Other notable 2019 seniors on the national team are Zhao Shiting, Li Shijia

For 2020 seniors, most of the juniors are not standouts yet. Keep a lookout for Wei Xiaoyuan and Guan Chenchen (Li Qi’s junior. They have the exact same set of coaches)

Summary of Anta Cup EF

Sooooooo there are loads of good routines from Anta Cup EF which has just ended! Many juniors surprised us by how much they have improved over the winter :).  (I KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPETITION IS CONFUSING, I always thought its Li Ning Cup until someone reminded me that they’ve changed sponsors :/, also, because this cup is sorted by region, so in Chinese most people just address it as “East Cup” or “Southwest Cup” or something like that)

Also, it must be noted that team Beijing and some other provinces joined this competition on a wildcard basis - that is - they are only here as guests and will not given a placing. 

On vault a new comer grabbed the top spot - 2003 babie Yu Linmin rocked a DTY and a Lopez to net scores of 14.45 and 14.325 respectively. You can click the link on the right to watch the two vaults :) VT1 VT2 

On bars we have 4 pretty routines from Fan Yilin, Lv Jiaqi, Du Siyu and Fuxia Qiuran, the latter 2 being wildcard so they will not be given a placing. 

Fan Yilin seemed to be in decent shape as she’s absolutely beautiful on the bar - though she has downgraded her dismount to a double pike :/ She scored 6.3+8.4 but also received a weird 0.3 penalty out of... nowhere? But she still won the competition with 14.400. Yilin’s Bar 

Lv Jiaqi is equally beautiful on bar as she scored a 14.200 - 6.1+8.1. Jiaqi’s Bar

02 born junior and my fave Du Siyu rocked her bars with a 14.200 as well - its a shame she isn’t given a placing. Siyu’s Bar

Finally, new senior Fuxia Qiuran from Beijing displayed beautiful lines on bars and scored 14.000 Qiuran’s Bar 

Ironically, 3 out of the 4 top scorers have a C difficulty dismount :/

On beam we have some great routines coming again from Yilin - she showcased combinations from combinations and scored a 14.000 for her very difficult beam set of 6.3 difficulty. Yilin’s Beam

However, the top score of the competition actually came from Du Siyu - although she only did one LOSO after her BHS, she finished her beam set without a wobble. She scored 5.9+8.05 to clinch the de facto gold with a 14.05. Siyu’s Beam

The third fantastic routine came from 2003 Beijing babe Tang Xijing - She went all in on her routine and even upgraded her dismount to a triple twist! Although she’s a bit nervous during the competition and broke at least 2 connections, she still has a difficulty of 6.3! I do feel that the E-score of 7.15 is absolutely ridiculous so please don’t be underwhelmed by her 13.45 beam score :/ Xijing’s Beam

On floor, our beloved Siyu once again scored the highest! She didn’t use her full difficulty this time but a 13.15 is enough to net her the top-score of the day. Siyu’s floor

Besides Siyu, we also have 2003 babe Huang Yijing who is an absolute delight as she ALWAYS does her tumbling straight from her round-off! She does no BHS at all and hence always finishes her tumbling in the middle of the floor. Her beam is also really pretty with a FHS+front tuck, but she fell during the prelims and did not manage to qualify. Yijing’s floor

So yep, that somewhat wrapped up the entire competition! I’m really pleasantly surprised by the progress many of the girls have made, and I wish that all of them can have a fun, happy and fruitful career in gymnastics :)
