Guan Chenchen: Cheng Fei Made Me Fall in Love With Gymnastics

Known for her playful character, 2020 Chinese Beam Champion Guan Chenchen took a more serious note in a CCTV Sports interview, sharing her ambitions and inspirations in gymnastics that sparked her desire to be a part of the mix for the upcoming 2021 Olympic Games.

“To me, the Olympics are a dream- when I was young and had not yet started gymnastics I remember watching big sister Cheng Fei compete floor at the Olympics on TV. I thought ‘wow, big sister can do these big skills and make them look so easy, she looks like she’s having fun.’ I want to make it to that level of competition so I can also show off myself.”
