THE<br />

CHINESE MEN’S<br />

GYMNASTICS TEAM<br />

126 | WatchTime LONGINES SPECIAL<br />

At every major gymnastics competition the<br />

Chinese men’s gymnastics team is always one<br />

of the medal favorites. Exceptional talents such<br />

as Li Ning, Yang Wei and others have always<br />

placed them at the top of the world in this category.<br />

Team wins were achieved at the World<br />

Championships in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010 and<br />

2011 and they were heralded as the “Super<br />

Team” at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.<br />

Seven rst-place wins there gave the team the<br />

unchallenged top position in gymnastics. In<br />

2012, in London, the Chinese men’s gymnastics<br />

team successfully defended their Olympic title<br />

from the Beijing 2008 Games.<br />
