    China enjoy successful Olympics dress rehearsal

    China came to the world gymnastics championships with only one goal in sight -- to prove that they will be the team to beat when they host the Olympics in Beijing in less than two years' time.

    On Tuesday, China produced the first of what they hope will be many gold-medal winning performances in the Danish port city of Aarhus.

    After finishing first in qualifying, the Chinese men made sure their efforts had not been in vain when they stormed back from a shocking start to capture the team title ahead of Russia and Olympic champions Japan.

    "Our victory was achieved because we stuck together, it was a team effort," Yang Wei told Reuters.

    "This world championships was good practice for the Olympics and we feel we are now well prepared to take gold."

    The Chinese women will take over the baton on Wednesday when they go for gold in team final.

    But they would do well to avoid the drama of their male compatriots.

    At the start, Yang and company could barely string together cleanly executed routines and at one stage found themselves lingering seventh out of the eight teams.

    But such is the depth in their talent, matched equally by a huge will to win, they refused to get frazzled and hung in before blazing to the top of the podium.

    Failure does not sit well with the Chinese and having finished fifth at the 2004 Athens Olympics, they made sure that they were on the right path to rectify the situation in 2008.

    Chen Yibing made an impressive debut by being the top performer on rings. Defending pommel horse champion Xiao Qin was once again the outstanding athlete on the apparatus while 2000 Olympic champion Yang set the standard on the parallel bars and vault.

    Tuesday may only be the tip of the iceberg as the Chinese men want to go home with a heavy load of gold.

    "This team is rather new so we had to practise a lot as a team," said Yang. "Now that we have established a good team, we don't want to stop here."
