Rio Olympics 2016: A look at the women who will compete with Dipa Karmakar at the vault finals

#7 Yan Wang (China)

Yan Wang is another teenager to make it to th finals

Another 16-year-old to do great things in the Olympics, Yan ranked seventh in the vaults and sixth in the floor exercise. The silver team medal winner at the 2015 World Championships wowed with her seemingly interminable expanded vaults which gave her a score of 14.949.

She is placed just above India’s Dipa Karmakar and is known for utilising her tiny physical form to great effect. The 2015 Asian Games at Hiroshima saw Yan sweep the vault gold – something she did in the Youth Olympics of 2014 as well.

Yan’s balance beam score of 14, however, has become a source of controversy with many speaking out on her behalf saying that she deserved a higher score with no perceptible faults in her routine.
