8. Chinese gymnasts on top of the world
Chinese gymnasts topped the 2011 World Gymnastics Championship with four gold medals, five silver and three bronze in Japan in October.
The Chinese men's team overwhelmed host Japan to win its fifth straight title at the Worlds. Olympic champion Zou Kai regained the world horizontal bar crown, while 26-year-old Chen Yibing continued his stunning form on the rings to win his fourth world title in that event.
In the women's section, 19-year-old Sui Lu won gold on the balance beam. The Chinese team also unearthed another rising star, Yao Jinnan, at the tournament. The 16-year-old snatched a silver medal on the balance beam, and two bronze medals in the women's all-round and team events.
