The Chinese Gymnastics Team
Gymnastics has long been playing a significant role in the development of Chinese sports, and the Chinese Gymnastics Team, the all-time pride and joy of the Chinese nation, had written a legendary history in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. China had pocketed 9 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze in Artistic Gymnastics, including the two meaningful Women's Team and Men's Team gold medals. Trampoline Team successfully claimed both the male and female gold medals, the first-ever in the history. Rhythmic Gymnastics also earned its historic victory by gaining the first silver medal in the Olympic group all-around. Though Acrobatic Gymnastics is not yet an Olympic sport, the Team captured a well-deserved gold medal in the men's group finals at the World Games 2009. The marvelous achievements by these Chinese gymnasts would be long remembered by the world.
