Teng Haibin maintained a perfect bodyline to swivel his way to China's first gymnastics gold. 'After we lost in the men's team event, I really went through a period of mourning. But life goes on and luckily I managed to pull all those feelings of sadness behind me and work towards winning a medal. But I never ever expected to win gold. I felt really sorry for my teammates that I couldn't help China win a medal in the team event. But I reminded myself to be strong and I just went about my job the best I could. Although we lost the men's team event, China are still considered a top-class team. Winning gold is like a dream for me. I still can't believe I have won.'
