Yang Yun (gymnast)

Freitag, 02. März 1984

Yang Yun (simplified Chinese: 杨云; traditional Chinese: 楊雲; pinyin: Yáng Yún; born March 2, 1984) is a Chinese gymnast. She was born in Zhuzhou, Hunan. She won the bronze medal on the uneven bars at the 2000 Summer Olympics along with a fifth-place finish in the all around, where a fall off the balance beam (a five tenth deduction) cost her the gold medal, finishing less than three and a half tenths behind eventual champion Simona Amânar of Romania. She was also a member of the bronze medal winning Chinese team, but the medal was stripped by the IOC in 2010 after one of the Chinese team members was found to be underage during the competition.
