Standing on the podium, Shang Chunsong's eyes flashed with tears, which was not only the joy of realizing his dream, but also the expectation and longing for the future.
This ordinary peasant girl, with her hard work and outstanding talent, has left her own mark on the world sports scene. Little did she know, however, that even greater challenges awaited her.
Life will present her with a difficult problem, and it will test the will and choices of the young gymnastics champion.
Shang Chunsong's gymnastics career is like a dazzling rainbow, and he once again showed his strength at the 2012 National Gymnastics Championships. At the competition scene, her every movement was as natural and smooth as her peers, full of strength and elegant temperament.
