Yang Bo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yang Bo (born September 8, 1973) is a Chinese gymnast. She is known for her work on the balance beam for which she created a move known as the "Yang Bo", which is rated as a D element in the Code of Points. She competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics, placing 25th in the all-around. Her greatest accomplishments in gymnastics include winning the 1990 World Cup Final on Balance Beam and winning the bronze medal with her team at the 1989 World Championship.

It is often said that she was the "best beamer" to never win gold as she would often complete some of the most difficult and artistically graceful routines perfectly in team and all-around competition, but would then have numerous problems in event finals.
