I can't even begin to imagine the pressure she felt performing in her home country. What an amazing performance. She's one of my all time favorite gymnasts

[@Olympics]

It must be a daunting experience, but an incredible one too!

[@scottw6704]

The most successful Chinese female gymnast. No one has yet to match what she's done for Chinese gymnastics. Also, best whip triple ever

[@leanderhartley4987]

She is literally my favourite gymnast ever. I hope y'all know that if Olympics wasn't held in her home country, the pressure wouldn't have been there, and she would have UNDOUBTEDLY won VT and FX gold.

[@pappysprite]

It was a great routine, but I wouldn't go that far! I love Cheng Fei too, but Pavlova deserved the bronze over her on beam. Absolutely no question about that. Cheng Fei had way too many instances where she lacked control on that event final beam routine. She had the home quart advantage in that instance.

[@user-qwertyuiopasdfghj]

Such a pity! Her form is so perfect and I really wish she could get that gold on VT or FX. The pressure got her and she didn’t do her best.

[@catinabox3048]

​@@pappysprite The original post said she could have taken gold on vault and floor. Didn't mention anything about beam. Cheng is a vault legend, and top notch on floor too. I don't think she would have been upset if she didn't medal on beam, but she was crushed that she messed up on her strongest events on her event finals. She could have easily taken gold on those,

[@pappysprite]

@@catinabox3048 I understand that, but I was commenting on where she did medal and I don't think she should have received the beam bronze medal. My comment was very clear.

[@30251]

not only is this masterful athletic gymnastics but the artistry is stunning too. cheng fei doesn't get included in enough discussions about artistry for my liking. her floor exercises were always so beautiful, musical and delicate and understated, like her athens team final performance, her 2006 worlds event final performance, and this legendary masterpiece. truly the greatest chinese gymnast in my book.

[@scottw6704]

Fei had some really exciting dance moves in this! I was so happy for her, and for the Chinese team. Winning the team event on home soil in front of thousands of fans!
