The over-the-top pageantry of the 2008 Beijing Olympics has left many sports fans wondering how Britain's capital can live up to expectations when it hosts the next summer Olympiad in 2012.

Here in Beijing, it's another impressive performance that people are anticipating with high expectations. China's national gymnastics team is gearing up for its last eight weeks of training before they seek to create another legendary run for the podium. China won nine gold medals in gymnastics four years ago, so the team is under a lot of pressure.
