Liu Xuan 刘璇 (CHN, Gymnastics)

Liu Xuan 刘璇 is a retired Chinese gymnast. She now pursues a career in film and television.

 

Her curriculum vitae as a gymnast is impressive, to say the least. She had won a total of four Asian Games gold medals, on top of a lone silver medal. Liu reaped top honors at the balance beam at the 1998 Sabae World Cup, in addition to a bronze at the uneven bars. In her three appearances at the World Championships (1995, 1996, and 1997), Liu collected two bronzes and a silver.


Her reached the pinnacle of her career at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where she topped the balance beam. Liu was also part of Chinese team that won bronze at the team event. The IOC nullified the performance of the Chinese team due to a failed doping test by one of the members.
