Chinese Shang Chunsong with a new element on floor

The Chinese gymnast SHANG, Chunsong  is rumored to have a quad twisting layout included in her floor routine. A few days ago, a video emerged on Youtube of Shang performing a 3 1/2 twisting layout on floor.
If Shang successfully competed this quad twist at the next World Championships, the skill will bear her name in the Code of Points.
* Remembering: Last year, Kenzo Shirai from Japan became the first athlete of the world to perform a 4/1 twist at a major event, the 2013 Worlds in Antwerp.
Shang, Chunsong made her major international debut also in Antwerp where she ranked 8th in all-around final as second best Chinese girl (behind YAO Jinnan on 5th)l and 6th at the balance beam final.
