Cheng Fei

Cheng Fei specializes in high difficulty vaults and floor routines. One of her vaults was so hard it is now named after her. She was the first female gymnast in the world able to perform it successfully in international competitions. She is incredibly powerful, very flexible and gets this cute little frown on her face just before she does Extraordinary Things with her body.

She is amazing. I get the shivers watching her vault - she's so, so, confident.

It's hard to imagine her baulking at anything.

Wow. I am really not a physical person (anything grounded in physicality and grace like dance or gym is completely alien to me) so those vids are basically magic to me. :D
nanila: me (me: ooh!)

She makes it look so easy, too. It's not fair. :P
