He Kexin: One to watch

This young lady’s uneven bars are particularly good, even given the standard set by the rest of the Chinese team.

    “particularly good?” i’ve never seen bars like that in my life. the releases! the toe point! the handstands! the aggressiveness! although, what I love more than all of that is those open shoulders. Not to mention, if I ever did a minute long bar routine, I’d collapse from exhaustion. I’m thoroughly impressed. Do you know how old she is? I can only find a youtube argument listing her birthdate as 92, 93, or 94.

    I agree it was a fantastic bar, really good lines, nice technique. Only fault i would say is that on her piroutte work she is a little loose in the mid section, but i mean in another year she will be smoking just untouchable with that bar routine. very nice…
