Lin Yung-Hsi was the last Taiwanese gymnast at the Olympic Games. In Sydney 2000, he finished 51st in qualifying.
At the 2001 East Asian Games, he placed 2nd on the vault

His first vault is a half on twisting (can't tell how many twists) move. Good and clean in the air. Goes a little bit more horizontally than vertically than I'd like though.
His second vault is a double front. Again it's good in the air, but he lands low and has to take multiple steps.
Gymnastics in Taiwan is not very popular. At international meets, the men do better than the women. The best events in Taiwan have historically been rings, vault, and pommel horse.
