That is a third part of Chinese TV cable CCTV10 translated by longdoydoy:

#1
Fei fell on her dismount, her 1st attempt ended up in failure.
Even though Lu's protegee did not succeed, he felt that this attempt had it's significance.
Lu: The key lies in the mentality of the coaches, it would be a great beating to the athlete if we were overly concerned about this failure; but if we consider this as a little setback in her growth, the athlete would be able to see it as it is and would be able to manage it.

#2
The failure in the Asian Games was not regrettable to Fei, because she was very clear that the upcoming World Championship was her true stage.

A girl that was once left forgotten in the training hall. A girl who lives for gymnastics. Ten years of prepared readiness, just for the blooming of that one moment. A Gymnastics World Champion: Cheng Fei.

At the Melbourne World Championship, the world's media's eyes were on Fei. They were curious that this 17 yr old girl had a technique with a starting value of 10 points.

#3
Fei: That was my best opportunity because everyone knew that if I succeeded that time, I would be world champion. I wanted to secure that opportunity so much that I started counting down to that very moment, that I'd regret it if I didn't give it my best shot.

Fei's 1st vault: 900 degree back flip twist is even more spectacular, high difficulty with an almost perfect dismount. With a 10 points starting value, she got 9.725. She has won China's 1st Women vaulting gold, a world champion in vaulting in the Chinese gymnastics history with an average result of 9.656.

#4
The 80 foot sprint; the spring jump; the aerial; the dismount, she did all that in one breath. From that moment on, Fei had her name on this vault.
Fei: I'm very pleased and very honored that I have a vault that is named after myself.

To have your name be written in the dictionary of gymnastics is without doubt a great honor for any gymnast; the flag raised, the national anthem played, Fei had materialized 2 of her dreams in Melbourne.

#5
Today, Fei stepped up to the rank of her fellow world champion gymnasts and become the 43rd gymnastics world champion of China.

Fei: I dreamed of this when I was little but it seemed so far away then because it's so hard. But when I had the ability to achieve it later, I really wanted it so much.
I'm so happy today, for I finally materialized my dreams.

Besides having breakthrough in China's women vaulting, Fei's fx was also a luminous breakthrough.

#6
Fei: At 2004 Athens, since I failed in fx finals, I had not recovered from it's haunts. I had many competitions after that, and I had been losing to even weaker opponents.
Coach Lu: She's got her deficiencies, she's got her weak points. For example, her passes of her tumbles in her fx routines were a problem for her.

The Chinese Women Team contracted a French coach to improve Fei's artistry in her fx.
Coach Adi: Big, big movement. Mere ci.
Translator: Coach Adi says you did well.

#7
Fei: The French Coach Adi choreographed my dance elements in my fx routine that was acclaimed at many of my competitions.

2006 Aarhus,Denmark World Championship, was destined to be the blooming of Cheng Fei. After she won the vaulting championship, fx finals was her next competition.
Fei: To me, the fx event was so very significant since I failed in 2004; not that I didn't have what it takes, I gave my all right then. And after that I did my best to regain my composure. I just wanted that gold.

#8
Right then, the US team's overall strength was considered the strongest, and thus far, they had not won a gold; naturally, the fx gold was their sole target to fight for. US gymnast, Jana Bieger, got 15.550, which was placed 1st for the moment, this result already surpassed Fei's prelim's efforts. As the US coach and gymnast were celebrating, nobody realized that, in the background, Coach Lu was planning a new strategy for Fei.

#9
Lu: Based on the situation then, the US team had not done so well that year and the judges tended to lean towards the US team. Therefore, we decided that the judges would only grant us a fair score if Fei could surpass her opponents with indisputable performance...
