Chinese Taipei gymnastics women's Lai Pinru in the gymnastics World Cup in Ketbus, Germany, with 13.066 points in the women's balance beam ranked fourth, although there is no way to get on the podium, but can hand over outstanding results in the first stop of the new Olympic cycle, for Lai Pinru will have more direction in the future training.
Lai Pinru
After the Paris Olympics, the International Gymnastics Federation will enter a new scoring cycle for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and gymnasts from all countries (regions) will have to rearrange their movements.
Lai Pinru began to prepare after last year's Olympics, and this World Cup focused on testing new movement choreography, etc., and qualified for the final in fifth place in the qualifying round, and there are many famous players in this balance beam final, including the Olympic silver medalist Zhou Yaqin of China.
Lai Pinru
Facing the three good players of China and Japan, Lai Pinru attacked with a difficulty score of 5.5 points in the final, scoring 7.566 execution points, although he finally missed the podium, but it was also a new personal best ranking in the World Cup.
Coach Zheng Kunjie pointed out that the opponent's performance in the final was quite stable, although Lai Pinru was one step away from standing on the podium, but the biggest gain was to score 13.066 points in the first stop of the new cycle, which I believe will make Lai Pinru more confident in facing the next Asian Championships and the World Universiade.
