In the competition, Shang Chunsong delivered a spectacular performance, hitting her beam and floor routines extremely well to earn relatively conservative execution scores of 8.443 and 8.2 respectively. "I was very pleased with my performances on all apparatus today.....There were some other factors that hindered me from getting a medal. I was quite disappointed", Shang told TVB. She gave a balanced view of her fourth place finish, later by humbly telling China News Service that "Perhaps I was not perfect enough."

Shang Chunsong is definitely unsatisfied with a fourth place. "I will keep going till the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.", Shang declared. We hope that in the 2020 Olympic all-around finals, like Aly Raisman, Shang will shed tears of joy.
