From that moment on, a star was born.

In 1985, 8-year-old JinJing was selected by Beijing Gymnastics Team to start formal training . He began competing in state competitions and won numerous gold metals. Everyone was amazed by just how naturally talented he was at such a young age. He beat many well-known veteran gymnasts in major competitions, and demonstrated grace and sportsmanship like a true champion.

Jinjing's talents captured the attention of the Chinese National Team. In 1989, 11-year-old JinJing became one of the youngest gymnasts ever to become a member of the Chinese National Team. During his 15 years on the national team, Jinjing has won a silver metal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, five World titles, numerous Asian gold medals, and countless national medals. (Please refer to Gymnastics Awards for complete information.) From 1997 to 2000, Jinjing was also the Chinese Team Captain, as well as the All-around champion for 5 years straight. He's considered one of the best gymnasts in the world, and certainly the best in China.
