  1. That was a lovely DLO from Zeng Panpan! Her flexibility could use some work, though. And isn't Zhou Gabei supposed to be Zhou Jiabei? Her beam is wonderful! I'm very excited for the new juniors, and I can't wait to Yao's international debut. I really adore her FX. Lastly, Congrats to the new moms!

  2. I thought her name was Zhou Jiabei until I saw her BB by "chinesegym1" on youtube. We will certainly see more of her.
