[Samx1999]

k so i have the floor music playing inthe back ground!! <333

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

That. Is. The. Single. Best. Sheep. Jump. I've. Ever. Seen.

[Undermedveten]

That sheep jump was just perfection!

[2MandMss]

amazing 

[ADozenWiltedRoses]

It had no flow. Dislike.

[ninzbean]

WOW.

[unevercalled]

why did she retire :(

[bookiewormie1]

@unevercalled did not make 2008 team and she could not go for four more years

[mosalto]

I miss Fan Ye and Ponor, beam competition is boring nowadays

[zhangshinyi]

what happened to her for beam for the 2004 olympics? did she mess up because she grew or something? :(

[tahiyasami]

if difficulty didnt matter, why couldnt they just do a simple routine and get a high score?

[MACJunkie88]

my favorite beam worker ever.

[xNoelle]

She's so beautiful. *-*

[glibster]

What I find most breathtaking about this routine is its precision. Every skill, movement, etc. is perfectly planned and executed. So magnificent!

On a shallower note, I love her leotard. It's such a pretty color, and it's a nice contrast to the standard red, white, and/or yellow of typical Chinese leotards.

[cindyzhoucc]

@glibster I am also not so satisfied with the red/yellow leotards that Chinese girls wear. BUT the international competition clothes are sponsored by Li Ning company, and they have no other choices. In national competitions girls can wear more colorful ones.

[delizanko]

awesomee!

[uchihasavenger]

wow. she is really good. and she's beautiful too.

[JillianChung]

ohhh it was so solid

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

Did she win the all-around?

[tzhang2]

yes the 2005 nationals

[rkwy1212]

yes. cheng fei placed 2nd and zhang nan placed 3rd.

[gy9402]

Oh Cheng Fei was in the all-around final?

[jrotc1991]

the background suits this beam routine realyl well!

[wolifgang]

wow her landing was the best

[enpha87]

That front aerial she did was breathtaking at that angle!

[QueenieQue]

Again, perfection! (aside from the tiny step on a rather beautiful triple twist dismount)...I can't believe I haven't heard more about this girl!

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

PERFECTION! That was even better than her 2003 routine that won her the World Championship (and that routine was as perfect as it can get!) .Yes, I know she had a slight balance check on her dismount but it's a triple twist, not a double tuck!

[nixelin27]

we have the same mount on beam last time i competed for my lvl 5..but i couldn't even do what she does..!

[sqekcx]

what a triple twist! this deserves more than 9.784!

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

The Chinese Nationals are notoriously underscored. I'm pretty sure they would have scored her in the 9.800 range had she performed like that at Worlds.

[ItsNastiaFan101]

actually, these are national GAMES, not nationals, it was a different set of judges and they were handing out ridiculous scores across the board here. Not that this routine was overscored, just letting you know

[alyssaoga]

It's hard to believe, but she's 19 years old in this video.She's so graceful!

[Grisso90]

perfect...

[cheerdynamics23]

she has such grace.amazing.

[gilles574]

she is so beautiful. Reminds me a bit of the world queen of beam : yang bo !

[mari901]

maybe not quite as sublime as yang bo but still stellar in her movements.

[Lakuilera]

that was probably the cleanest triple twist i have ever seen... has anyone seen a better one from any gymnast?

[grantsherman23]

Svetlana Khorkina at the 1994 World Championships on FX during the team finals. But I've never seen a better one on beam. :)

[Lakuilera]

actually i found a few just as good... dudnik and kolesnikova...

[mari901]

ji liya has a superb one!

[chinkytwinky1981]

I second that! Check out the 97 Am Cup- beautiful triple full. Dudnik's twist wasn't as neat in the air as Fan Ye or Ji Liya nor as well landed.

[uwoeric]

I think this was even better than her World Championships winning routine. Yes, she had a little step on the landing, but it was MUCH more difficult dismount than she did at Worlds.
