Fei Cheng (CHN) : 2008 Beijing Olympics : Qual FX

[@kp395]

The best triple twist ever. Literally textbook perfect.

[@bluepanther1013]

Ou Yushan has the best triple twist.

[@bluepanther1013]

Or Anastasia Grishina.

[@sanasgirl]

I think Anastasia Grishina is better but both good

[@sallydaniel1023]

Her triple full is the best. So clean and high

[@LuisMiguel2191]

Chinese girls have good form.

[@rodrigomartins3206]

ugh... her chest was a little low and she took a step back, still beautiful though

[@sanasgirl]

no, Anastasia grishina's is.

[@goodyougetastar]

@@sanasgirl Grishina's is a little softer in the knees though. Still very nice

[@paulmcelroy81]

One of all time favorites. She is spectacular! I was devastated when she couldn’t capitalize for herself as she had the most talent in both event finals!

[@ffireinthedark]

This is the most 🌈 dramatic🌈and expressive routine I've seen in a long time and I'm on board, I miss these routines

[@conorfrost7440]

her floor routines from that quad were ELITE, no one could ever hope to top her

[@ffireinthedark]

@@conorfrost7440 I know 😭 I miss that

[@kras118]

Powerful ending! In both tumbling and choreo

[@BINHWISK]

fei cheng... a brazilian kisses for you....i love you = fei cheng....um beijo brasileiro pra voc^e

[@pedrojorge1912]

With this routine, Cheng Fei earned a 15.750. It was the highest floor score from an official competition on the new system, a record only broken by Simone Biles at 2015 Worlds EF with a 15.800 and 8 counting skills.

actually Simone got 15.966 in 2015 world floor qualification. massive

[@KarpfenKarpfen]

I LOVE her! She would have deserved to win so much!!!!!^^

[@juliakrystal19]

The times where everyone doing a step back was still able to get a decent score...

[@londonstewart2544]

Weren’t you aloud to have a step back with no deductions if it’s controlled like in college

[@halfway7690]

​@@londonstewart2544 you were, it's called a lunge.

[@kiirakorpi3965]

if only she could have had this performance in the event final...

[@akimbohr]

She was under imense pressure in these Games....Gold in the team final but ^only^ 2 bronze medals in the finals.

[@pamela-mariie]

2 individualsi single medals in fantastic. - Pamela

[@stepitup25]

love this routine

[@erinwalker711]

Cheng Fei was amazing. Team China 🇨🇳 was Fire 🔥 at the Beijing Olympics!

[@sanasgirl]

Her music, tumbling, dance, turns, leaps is life goals tbh, I love love love her !! I wish she made it to London but I heard she tore her ACL a couple months before the London games if I'm not mixing up people :(

[@tomkiene4144]

Imagine the E score in today's code with every landing being at a 90 degree chest angle

[@eimardgomes1128]

Those twisting forms... HOT

[@sinhueherrera8984]

She always had low chest landings, I don’t think she ever got deducted accordingly

[@alazjaw.8968]

good for her

[@saniazahan5424]

Wish you would add the scores as well

[@Fliptwisttt245]

Does she have the same Tumbling passes as Shawn Johnson in different order?

[@dreamershavemorefun]

The girl from Romania won with the US 2nd and 3rd right

[@rockymcduffie8603]

I like her 2004 music a lot better. I also noticed she lands with her chest down quite frequently, she shows a lot of power i'm surprised her coaches didn't correct that before the Games. She would get slaughtered in the new COP for that.

[@blue_manatee3895]

I agree with you- her 2004 routine (with music from Don Quijote) was great. This music, however, is from the Yellow River Concerto, which is a famous Chinese piece and would obviously be a good fit for the Beijing games. (Although I definitely liked her 2004 routine more)

[@leanderhartley4987]

Its because during that time in gymnastics, a lot of gymnasts would land with their chest down, then take a step back and raise their chest to symbolise power (this was especially true for the Chinese)

[@rockymcduffie8603]

@@leanderhartley4987 That doesnt symbolize power. It symbolizes a lack of power and poor technique.

[@mmovies5139]

15.750 😱

[@videocool2010]

They over value a lot of skills back then now its more suitable

[@jgsh8062]

@@videocool2010 It wasn't over-valuing, it was just back then they counted 10 skills instead of 8 towards a gymnast's D-score, the skills weren't themselves over-valued

[@bluepanther1013]

[@bluepanther1013]

Which was the score?

[@sakurasoh]

Gosh... that opera music just doesn't go well with her talent...

[@Claudius123]

Overscored....like the whole Chinese performances in Beijing. End of discussion
