He Kexin Olympic bar champ?

Watch this training video of He Kexin of China. Her routine has the most difficulty in a competed routine. She has scored 16.8 with it. Will she be the gold medal winner in Beijing?

Is that the right video? That's not training...that is competition. Chinese Nationals?

You could be right. My brain was not on full power when I posted it last night.

Whichever it is, it is still an amazing routine.

She scored the first 17 not too long ago.

WOW!

Without knowing much about her, it seems she is quite a competitor

Those were all lovely routines - tx for sharing

... is it just me, or are these Chinese gymnasts all very frail looking? They are all so thin and tiny...

She scored 17.3 at Chinese Nationals. She's rumored to be only 14, so that would help explain why she looks so tiny.

If its true & she is only 14, then that would make this year's Olympics impossible for her...

She will be in Beijing. Whether she should be is another question. Some people believe that age falsification is widespread on the Chinese team, but I don't suppose we'll really ever know for sure. Up until this year, He Kexin was widely reported in the media and on websites as being born in 1994, then her date of birth suddenly became 1992.
