Tan Sixin and Yao Jinnan going to Cottbus World Cup

Two extremely talented new seniors are going to the Cottbus World Cup next month. They are Tan Sixin and Yao Jinnan. Most gymnastics followers recognize the name Tan Sixin. She went to the Young Olympic Games last year and won four medals, silver in the all around and uneven bars final, plus two more gold medals in the beam and floor final. She is also the 2009 Chinese National Games champion the balance beam.She was just a junior still and defeated The world champion from that year Deng Linlin, and the very talented Sui Lu, plus her other teammate Cui Jie. But Yao Jinnan blasted on to the gymnastics scene last year at the Chinese Nationals, with a huge DTY, and a very difficult beam routine. How will they handle there first ever international meet as a senior? I hope they do extremely well, because they are both fabulous gymnasts.
