Life

He was born in Beijing. Your paragon is the uneven bars . She has won several national and international gymnastics competitions in recent years. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, she managed to win the gold medal in the individual on the uneven bars and with the team in the all-around competition. At the 2010 World Championships in Rotterdam and a year later in Tokyo , she was able to win bronze in the all- around competition with the team.

Discussions about real date of birth

There are international discussions in Olympic gymnastics about her true date of birth. Your ID card, which was valid in 2008, and the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) indicate January 1, 1992 as your date of birth. After that, she was over 16 years old and old enough to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing . In various media, however, the age was given in 2008 as 14 years, after which she was not old enough to take part in the Olympics in Beijing.

At the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 , the then fourteen-year-old gymnast Yang Yun pretended to be sixteen, but later made this public.
