According to Miao Zhongyi, the leader of the Chinese gymnastics team, although the itinerary on the day of arrival was relatively tossing, everything was normal in the past two days. There was no problem in all aspects including rest after entering the Olympic Village, and the team was in good condition.
On the 21st, the men's stage training was conducted. Six Chinese players including Xiao Ruoteng, Zou Jingyuan, Sun Wei, Lin Chaopan, You Hao and Liu Yang made their appearances.
Due to the completion of preparations for adapting to the lighting and equipment of the venue, each team attaches great importance to stage training, and the Chinese team is no exception.
Through on-site inspections, the teams themselves can make corresponding adjustments to the lighting and other on-site conditions, minimizing the impact of objective factors during the game.
From the performance of training, everyone is in good condition.
Ye Zhennan also revealed that everything is normal for the team.
"After all, it is an Olympic game. This kind of concentration is different. Everyone is very involved."
The training of the Chinese team that day attracted a lot of attention.
Since men's gymnastics has always been the strength of the Japanese team, as the host, they also hope to have a good performance at home.
Therefore, although the Chinese team's platform training is scheduled in the morning, staggered with the Japanese team who adapted to the venue in the afternoon, while the Chinese team is training, there have been real-time attention from the Japanese team's staff, recording and communication from time to time.
But Ye Zhennan is not worried about this, he said this is normal.
"Including the status of the athletes and the use of difficult moves, everyone will know each other, so this is normal. In fact, everyone has a better understanding of the strength of each team, and ultimately it depends on the performance of the athletes in the game. "

Chinese male gymnast and world champion Liu Yang said after finishing his training that because he uses the same equipment in domestic training, he is relatively comfortable in this regard, and his teammates are in good condition.
Due to injury, Xiao Ruoteng missed the Rio Olympics 5 years ago, so his trip to Tokyo was the first time he experienced the Olympic atmosphere at the age of 25.
As the all-around champion of the World Championships, Xiao Ruoteng also has high hopes.
He said frankly that after waiting for 5 years, he is still very happy to come to the Tokyo Olympic Games and his current state is also good.
In Ye Zhennan's view, after all, the Olympic Games is different from other competitions, and the competition will be more intense, which puts forward higher demands on athletes in terms of psychology and other aspects.
The important thing before the game is to try to adapt to the atmosphere and environment of the Olympic Games, and to meet the game with a good physical and mental state.
According to the plan, the Chinese women's gymnastics team composed of Tang Qianjing, Lu Yufei, Zhang Jin, Ou Yushan, Fan Yilin, Guan Chenchen and others will conduct their first stage training on the 22nd.
