(ZENG YI)

On October 22, Jiang Yuyuan won a silver medal in the women's all-around competition at the 2010 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, with a total score of 59.998. Women's individual all-around competition is the only event in which Chinese gymnasts haven't taken top place in major international competitions. Before Jiang's achievement, the best performances were the third places secured by Liu Xuan, Zhang Nan and Yang Yilin at World Champions and Olympic Games.

Jiang, born on November 1, 1991, joined the national team in 2006 and began to serve as its captain earlier this year. She made her international debut at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in 2007, for the silver-medal winning Chinese team in the women's team competition.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jiang helped the Chinese team to win the team gold medal. Individually, she finished sixth in the all-around event and fourth in the floor exercise event.
