History
China made their World Championships debut at the 1958 World Championships. At the 1962 World Championships, Yu Lifeng won bronze on pommel horse, becoming the first male Chinese gymnast to win a World Championships medal.[1] At the 1981 World Championships, Li Yuejiu and Li Xiaoping became the first Chinese male gymnasts to become World Champions, winning gold on floor exercise and pommel horse respectively.[2] At the following World Championships China won their first team gold medal.[3]
The Chinese Olympic Committee sent their first full athletic delegation to the 1984 Summer Olympics, where the men's gymnastics team won the silver medal behind the United States.[4][3] Individually Li Ning won three gold medals at these Games while Lou Yun also won an individual gold.[4]
