Tang Xijing was on the spot and increased the difficulty
The order of the Beijing women's team final is high and low bars, balance beam, free gymnastics and vaulting. After the first three events, the total score was 156.931, behind the Guangdong, Zhejiang and Anhui teams. Wang Liming introduced that according to the pre-match plan, there is still room for remedy for each mistake in the 6-4-4 format, there are two mistakes in the first item, there is one balance beam, and there is a rule deduction for free exercise, so after the first three events, the situation of the Beijing team was not optimistic.
In the final vaulting competition, Tang Xijing, the first to appear, decided to change the action to the difficulty coefficient of 5.4 "shuttlecock back hand flip straight 720", which she made a mistake in the Olympic women's team final. But this time, the 18-year-old girl landed on the ground and stood firmly, got a completion score of 8.633, and the Beijing team ranked first in the whole field with the vaulting horse, and finally forced the Zhejiang team to reach the podium.

Wang Liming revealed after the game that although the disciples' Olympic training was not systematic, they still decided to rush at the moment of the backwater battle, "It is more firm and more confident when waiting for the field." This action may be a risk to others, but for her, as long as the physical condition and technology are in place, it is still very safe to use. ”
Walking off the field, Tang Xijing couldn't help but cry. Asked about this detail after the game, the little girl's eyes were red again. After the qualifying match, she said that she would "fight to the end" for the team, and in the arena, she did it. After the Beijing team finished the game, 6 players gathered in a circle to encourage each other, and Wang Liming bluntly said that Tang Xijing's outstanding performance "saved the team", saying that the bronze medal was a surprise is not an exaggeration.

Veteran newcomers play steadily
The Beijing gymnastics women's team won silver at the Tianjin National Games, and the Tokyo Olympic cycle was also a regular member of the podium of several national championships. In the lineup of this year's National Games, Tang Qianjing, Qi Qi and veterans Wang Yan and Du Siyu were the runners-up members of the previous year, plus Wang Jingying and Lin Haibin, two newcomers.
In Wang Liming's view, in such an old, middle-aged and young lineup, Wang Yan and Du Siyu overcame the difficulties of declining their age and competitive status and insisted on contributing to the team; Tang Xijing and Qi Qi, active national players, played the role of backbone and performed steadily in the competition. Led by the sisters, the two youngsters were also encouraged, "I think this game is the best lesson for them." Wang Liming said. In an interview, he also had red eyes and had to stop to calm his mood, "I know in my heart that there are risks, and it is not easy to withstand it." ”

In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Wang Liming and coach He Hua entered the national team, mainly responsible for Tang Xijing, Qi Qi and Wang Jingying, the first two of whom began to take the lead, and were trained in the World Championships and even the Olympic Games, Tang Xijing was the most optimistic all-rounder of the Chinese gymnastics women's team, and also the leader of the Beijing women's team.
After that, the Beijing team "Xi Qi" Gemini will also play in the individual all-around competition hand in hand, and compete in the high and low bars, vaulting, and free gymnastics. Wang Liming believes that from Tang Xijing's performance in this team final, he has found a sense of competition, "is a very powerful contender for personal omnipotence." Tang Xijing himself also said that he would use tomorrow's rest time to "adjust his mentality and physical fitness and fight again." ”
