Ok. This information was received through message boards and usually this stuff is right in my experience. So here is what was received in a recent Internal Chinese event…
- Jiang Yuyuan is competing the Amanar. On day 2 she received a 15.700. She placed 2nd on floor. She had some mistakes on uneven bars.
- He Kexin got a 17.00 on uneven bars!!!!
- Cheng Fei got a rumored 9.6 B-score on her Cheng vault. Her beam was very solid but only did a 2.5 twist dismount.
- Deng Linlin won the AA and has a 7.0 start value on beam. I am thinking that she is definitely earning an Olympic spot if she scores consistently here on out.
- Xiao Sha won beam, couple of problems on bars and vault, but placed 2nd or 3rd in the AA. I think this girl is totally going.
- Yang Yilin only did bars due to her recent foot injury at Cottbus, but she did great and placed 2nd to He Kexin.
- Li Shanshan had the highest start value on beam (7.3) but had lots of wobbles. I am thinking if she continues to perform like this she may miss the Olympic team as she is pretty much a beam specialist and China has A-scores out of this world.
- Sui Lu (whoever that is) had start values of 6.4 (!!!) on floor and 7.1 on beam. She supposedly placed top 3 on those events. Consistency could definitely put her on the team as that is a much needed floor score.
- He Ning, Zhang Nan, Pang Panpan, and Zhou Zhouru were all there but lacked difficulty. Pang scored 4th in the AA. These may represent the alternates.
Overall, China will knock USA out of the park on their A-scores for bars and beam. Also, they are now ahead on vault as well. Hopefully, Samantha Pezseck will bring forth the rumored Amanar, which would but USA slightly ahead. China may even have the start value advantage on floor as well. If China hits, I think they will probably beat the USA.
A revised look at who will compete for China:
Cheng Fei, vault, floor, (beam)
Jiang Yuyauan, vault, floor, bars
Xiao Sha, beam
He Kexin, bars, (vault)
Deng Linlin, beam
Sui Lu, beam, floor
I am missing a 3rd spot on bars there. Hmmm, Yang Yilin I would probably take over the spot of Deng Linlin. And actually, I just read that Yang’s possible UB score was 16.800….that would definitely buy her a spot on the team.

You can found Sui Lu’s FX and BB exercises here:

Yang Yilin is absolutely a lock. She’ll definitely do UB in TF and possibly EF as well. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see her compete AA.

Yes I completely agree. Right after I posted that I learned she also has a 7.7 A-score. I now think Deng Linlin is off, Yang Yilin MUST be on that team!!!

If China wants the team Gold more than the BB Gold, they will have the following line-ups:
UB: He Kexin (7.7), Yang Yilin (7.7), Jiang Yuyuan (7.2)
BB: Li Shanshan (7.5), Chen Fei (6.9), Sui Lu (7.1)
FX: Chen Fei (6.5), Sui Lu (6.4), Jiang Yuyuan (6.3)
VT: Chen Fei (6.5), Jiang Yuyuan (6.5), He Kexin (5.8)
But this would mean that Xiao Sha won’t make for the team and that would reduce China’s chance for the Gold on BB by half. If China wants to secure the Gold on BB, they will probably put Xiao Sha in to replace Sui Lu.
Yes, Deng Linlin is pretty much out at this point.
By the way, Sui Lu is great on FX and BB. You can find her exercises on Youtube, just searching for her name.

Yes, I have watched Sui Lu. I think she really is an asset considering her FX and BB.

so cheng fei is really doing a 6.9 BB and yang yilin a 7.7 UB(are this confirmed?) pls tell me besuace if its true wow china will have the advanyage over USA!
i think they will choose sui lu over xiao sha because china is focusing more on the team gold. bur what a heart breaker if xiao sha will not go!

I have seen a few sources state that Yang Yilin’s score on bars is indeed a 7.7, she scored a 16.8 at the test event.
And we have seen Cheng Fei compete BB with a 7.0 score so I have no doubt she is doing anything around that number!
Sui Lu does have a really good FX to bring (and BB!), but yes, I have REALLY started to like Xiao Sha. I want her to be on that team!!!
