The Best of Spring Festivals - Fun with Team China

It's the Chinese New Year today and the year of the Monkey is upon us. In honor of that, I'm going to swerve from my usual coverage of Team Russia (as if I need an excuse to stan for the Beijing and London quads from China) and post this collection of clips of the national team getting silly and having some fun in celebration of the Spring Festival.

The winter training is the most intense training period for the Chinese and they keep training while the rest of the country celebrates the most important event of the year. Knowing that makes watching the team have so much fun while performing their little hearts out even more precious.

Enjoy! ;) 🇨🇳🎉🐵

These are only the clips on Youtube and mostly WAG, I didn’t go through the trouble of browsing Youku or Tudou that thoroughly because most of the clips I found there were the same ones.

Also, I wasn’t able to identify a lot of gymnasts and some may be misidentified. You are more than welcome to send me names and corrections.
