10th Chinese National Games artistic gymnastics updates
The star-studded Guangdong team won the men's team gold with a total score of 227.34 points, fielding three national team members -- Lu Yufu, Feng Jing and Liang Fuliang. Host Jiangsu, led by veteran Huang Xu, was edged into second spot with 227.023 points while People's Liberation Army won the bronze with 225.691 points.
Guangdong seized the lead after the first two apparatus but Jiangsu bounced back with some great performances in the Rings (39.019 points) to overtake Guangdong. Guangdong then pulled back in the parallel bars and maintained the lead in the next two apparatus for the team title.

Men's All Round
Veteran Yang Wei, who has won the men's all round Olympic silver medal and team's gold medal in 2000, was denied the gold medal again at the 10th Chinese National Games. He scored 57.019 points, 5.66 points behind Lu Bo of host province Jiangsu. Former all-round world champion Feng Jing came from behind to take the bronze medal, scoring 56.818 points.
Yang Wei had a lousy start, getting only 8.717 points from his error-ridden routine in the first event -- floor exercise. Despite performing well at the next apparatus -- pommel horse, Yang Wei fell further behind in the third event -- Rings, where Lu Bo scored a very high 9.800. In the fifth event -- parallel bars, Lu Bo scored another 9.800 to stretch the lead beyond the other competitors. In the final event, Yang Wei scored his highest of the day 9.717 but Lu Bo only had to pull an average 9.467 performance to secure the gold medal.

Women's All Round
Fan Xin won the women's all round gymnastics gold medal at the National Games, scoring 38.352 points. Favourite Cheng Fei and Olympic bronze medalist Zhang Nan followed with 38.068 and 37.951 points respectively. The hot favourite Zhang Yufei from Guangdong ended in fifth place.
Fan Xin, former world champion in the balance beam, scored a high 9.784 points in her pet event. She got only 9.184 points at her weakest apparatus -- vault, but used the uneven bars and floor exercise to lift her back to the top with 9.700 and 9.684 points. Both Cheng Fei and Zhang Nan faltered at the uneven bars although Cheng Fei scored a rare 9.734 points at the vault.
