Gymnastics career

Early career

Sui Lu started training gymnastics at the age of 3, and was selected into the Shanghai team in 2000. In Chinese national level competition, Sui has made many achievements for the Shanghai team. She obtained team gold at the 2007 national championships, and gold for balance beam and floor exercise in the 2008 national championships, beating her national teammates and later Olympic champions Cheng Fei, Jiang Yuyuan, Li Shanshan and Deng Linlin.

Being a beam and floor specialist, Sui was one of the hopefuls to be selected to the Beijing Olympic team, which would later win China's first women's team gold medal. However, her inconsistent performances at the World Cup series in 2008 prevented her from making the final squad. Together with Xiao Sha, their pre-occupied position was substituted by Deng Linlin.
