Liu Xuan
Chinese Olympic (2000) Gymnastic Gold/Bronze Medalist
  • General Info
General Information
Description
Liu Xuan is a Chinese Gymnast. She was coached by Guo Xinming and Zhang Zhen. Liu said she took up gymnastics with encouragement from her mom, who had to cease gymnastics training during her younger years because of the closure of the gym during the Cultural Revolution. In fact, Liu's decision to continue for another 4 years after a disappointing 1996 Atlanta Olympics was partly to realize her mom's unfulfilled dream. Liu was the first female gymnast to perform a one-arm giant swing on the uneven bars which is named after her in the Gymnastic's Code of Points; she also performed this skill into a Geinger release move. However, this skill was considered too risky for women gymnasts, and hence was given a ridiculously low "B" difficulty rating so as to discourage female gymnasts from learning it. As a result, Liu herself also stopped performing it after the 1996 Olympics. Liu was also strong on balance beam, but weak on vault and floor exercise. In 2000, she was China's first Olympic Champion on balance beam as well as China's first All Around Medalist.
