A Gymnastics Champ At 10 | On The Red Dot | CNA Insider

She's in the Gifted Education Programme and plays the pipa in an orchestra. But where this multi-talented 10-year-old's heart truly belongs, is on the gymnastics mat. "Every year when I blow out my birthday candles and make my wish, I wish to qualify as an Olympic gymnast," says Pan Annan.

About the series:
Four children with four exceptional gifts – a computer genius, a violin virtuoso, a star gymnast and a dazzling chess player. What is it like to be one in 100,000 or even one in a million?

From friendships gained and families uprooted, it’s a fragile balance between pursuing their potential and not losing their childhood innocence. What hidden sacrifices do these wonder kids and the people around them make to fulfil their grand ambitions ? We go behind the glamour of awards and achievements and find out what it truly means to be a child prodigy.

she is so mature for her age! definitely raised well!

[brideekate]

Her: been training for 3 years, becomes champion
Me: been training for 6 years, can only do a cartwheel 😂

[pupmups-rqcc]

Props to her. As long as her passion is burning bright, she'll make it.

[stefepedia]

Wtf... I'm 17 and idek what I wanna do after my A levels

[carolychee]

that's literally the nicest rhythmic gymnastic coach I've seen ever

[caleculating]

This is so lovely! I was in Rgps (her school) and I was GEP and math Olympiad, and the workload was already so much! I cannot believe being able to balance her Pipa and her Gymnastics on top of that! I’m really proud of my junior and she will definitely do great things:)

When u see kids a third of ur age achieving, and u are still living off ur parents at 32.😂😂😂

[akikoam]

Foreign parents: "Follow your dreams and ur heart Child "
Asian parents: "You have three options Doctor, lawyer, and engineer."
Edit: if you can't relate, move tf on. Stop saying “not true at all” just because you haven't experienced it yourself. Clearly me and other people have, so get out with that arrogance.

[sakuracloud]

The resilience in this girl is mind blowing. Keep pushing on Annnan! You’ll definitely make it! ❤️

[annaelliott]

I love her attitude and passion! I love how her parents support her as well. They push her, but not so hard to where she doesn’t enjoy herself. I wish her all the best! She can do it!

[tabithachee]

meanwhile im 19 and i think she is more discipline than me

[stephenmarley]

Being a rhythmic gymnast myself I've been doing it since I was 4 and now I'm 11, I understand the hard work that goes into it training everyday for 4 hours you do feel left out when people ask you to play because you have gym but trust me it pays off ❤️

[amandalim]

It's really nice to see young people inspired to do things - they know what they want to do, and accept the discipline to get there. Also, shout out to her parents, who definitely keep encouraging her, and ensure that she is still getting good education, a variety in life (music is great), and to have the dedication to support their daughter in what she wants, and believing in her dream with her.

[darkrogue]

Absolutely mindblowing..At 10 years old there is so much maturity in her talks. I wouldn't even be able to say half of what she spoke. Really shows how focused and composed she is.

[pho]

okay, respect to her and all for coping with such a tight schedule while being able to achieve so many things. sorry, but I’ve seen her in my school, and she’s definitely NOT in the GEP. somehow the programme stated that she is in the GEP, but she’s only in GEP Chinese (which is basically when the GE and mainstream students have Chinese lessons together). the producers need to get this kind of information right. the workload between the GEP and mainstream is absolutely different. trust me, I’m a GE student and the workload is terrible. then again, Annan is very talented so as I said, respect to her.
