About Yang Wei
Prior to the Beijing Olympics, Yang Wei was one of the best all-around athletes in the world.

He became the first person since Yugoslavia's Petar Sumi to successfully defend his all-around world title after winning the title twice.
Career
At the 2000 Olympics, he made his international debut, winning silver in the individual all-around competition and gold in the team event. At the 2003 World Artistic Gymnastics, he took home both silver and gold. His team finished fifth at the 2004 Olympics, while he came in seventh in the individual competition after falling from the high bar.
At the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, he defended his team and all-around titles, and in 2007 and 2008, he won the all-around and rings at the Chinese National Championships. He stunned the fans with a commanding margin of 2.6 points to win gold at the 2008 Olympics, providing the ideal setting for redemption. He ended his career as a gymnast the following year.
