@kwankiki I think so

Our team spirit has also strengthened so I hope that we'll achieve better results this year.

Zou K: I was left off last year's team and I've been feeling a bit repressed since I'm an Olympian. This year is a year that I'm at a higher performance level and I trained a lot more.

N: Not only has ZK added difficult on his specialty events, HB and FX, he's also taken a step towards become an AAer.

N: After Yang Wei retired, THB has taken over as the best AAer in the Team. Even if he cannot compete with Uchimura yet, this type of AA gymnasts are much relied on in the team.

THB: I guess I've just continued to put in the hard work. I've had doubts after not being selected for the Beijing Olympics, but there's always been people who continually support me. For myself and for them, I decided to keep training for a while more.

W: The coach specifically wants us to interview you.

@russiangymfan I think they love his bashing of other teams and gymnasts more than his broken English. It serves as good gossip fodder ;).

An amazing team with an amazing head coach Yubing Huang. No question the best men's gymnastics team since 1990's! Chinese men's team has won 9 world championship team golds and 2 Olympic team golds since then, it is a great achievement for any team. Why NBC never interviews Huang? Language should not the problem, they can find a translater if they wants. NBC just love Bela who's best part is his broken English and endless bashing other teams and gymnasts.

@kwankiki Yes. They need to stand on hands for 20 minutes with weights (or 40 minutes without) against a wall to increase they shoulders two days a week. Trying to make the time go faster many of them listen to music. :)

ZK: From what I know, my difficulty value on HB and FX is the highest in the world. But as I'm not known for my execution, I still have to depend on my performance on the day itself.

Who is this?! : Make sure I'm not cheating is the truth. -Then he says something I can't catch-

N: Conditioning just before Worlds, hold handstands twice per week. 20min with weights on Tues and 40mins without on Thurs.

WHO?!!: Currently, this handstand thing is the most difficult, the most tiring and the worst to get through.

THB: This year, I believe that we have improved all around compared to last year.

After Athens, Teng HB was slowly forgotten and only after 5 years was he able to earn the right to compete at a major competition.

THB: I haven't experienced such a nervous and exciting competition for a long time. Really, after a full competition, I'm really tired.

N: After Yang Wei retired, THB has taken over as the best AAer in the Team. Even if he cannot compete with Uchimura yet, this type of AA gymnasts are much relied on in the team.

Last year, he had to take 4 shots in his wrist to compete. This year, he continues to be hounded by injury.

W: How many shots of pain supressants have you taken already? Do you even remember?

LB: It's really been too many; I don't remember. After taking shots in the left, they inject my right as well, then back to the left... I cannot even count how many I've had.

N: This is the exciting finale of last year's team competition by Teng HB.

W: You've put in a lot of hard work for a long time just for this new team title, yes?

LB: Yesyesyes. Continuing the hard work for so long really isn't a big deal. Just so long as you train hard and when the chance comes along, you catch and hold on to it.

N: Even though he's lost his chance to attend Worlds, but during the hectic trainings before the MAG team left, selfless LB still tries to contribute however he can.
