Yesterday in Beijing, fans witnessed the 2025 World Champions Honoring Ceremony, a night that sparkled brighter than a double pike! 🎉
At the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year, the Chinese mainland team—Ding Xinyi, Wang Lanjing, Pu Yanzhu, Zhang Xinyi and Liu Miaoting—clinched gold in the 5 ribbons event. Liu and Zhang celebrated their first world titles, proving their routines are on fire! 🔥
At the Pamplona Trampoline World Championships this fall, Wang Zisai and Hu Yicheng soared to victory, nailing men’s and women’s individual titles. 🤸♂️🤸♀️
The Chinese mainland also grabbed gold in the women’s team event and mixed team event, inducting eight athletes into the world champions roster. 🏅
In Jakarta at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, the Chinese mainland sealed three golds, one silver and three bronzes. Star gymnast Zou Jingyuan defended his parallel bars title for the fourth straight year, while Hong Yanming and Zhang Qingying emerged as new world champions on pommel horse and balance beam. ✨
This ceremony doubled as a hype session for winter training, with athletes vowing to push their limits next season.
“I am so excited and happy, but also have a hard time believing it. It’s unreal. It feels like I got the honor in the blink of an eye. For the winter training, I’ll definitely hold myself to higher standards. I will try to nail every move and polish the details,” said Zhang Qingying.
