In the fourth round, with the accompaniment of "Drunk Taiping", Wang Zilu, as a girl who grew up practicing Chinese folk dance, brought Chinese style dance to the world and made the world recognize Chinese folk dance again, but due to mistakes, she only scored 29.300 points, and the final total score was 131.550, ranking seventh, and missed the medal, but created the best result in the history of China's individual all-around competition in the Olympic rhythmic gymnastics.
