Fan Yilin, a gymnast born in Taizhou, East China's Zhejiang province, won the title in the women's uneven bars event at the 14 National Games in Xi'an, Shaanxi province on Sept 25.

Born in Changtang village, Taizhou's Tiantai county, Fan went to Shanghai with her parents for artistic gymnastics training and joined the national team in 2014.

A year later, she shared the gold medal for the uneven bars competition with Viktoria Komova, Daria Spiridonova, and Madison Kocian at the 2015 World Championships in Scotland.

She also won the event at the 2017 World Championships in Canada.

On the same day, Wei Mengxi, another Taizhou native, and her partner Gao Haiyan won the gold medal in the women's sailing 470 class competition at this year's National Games.

Wei, who was born in Taizhou in 1994, received sailing training on Dachen Island in Taizhou's Jiaojiang district for a long time before becoming a national sailing team member in 2017.

Billed as China's "mini Olympics", the quadrennial National Games, which was inaugurated in 1959, features an Olympic style program with the addition of the Chinese martial arts sport of wushu.
