BEIJING, Nov 15 (Reuters) - No junk food, no computer games, no trips to the mall and seven-hour training sessions six or seven days a week -- that is life for Fan Ye and the other young members of China's national gymnastics team.

Their coaches are not looking for the all-work-no-play regimen to pay off at next week's world championships; they have already set their sights on a bigger prize still years away.

"We're putting everything we have towards the 2008 Olympics," Zhang Peiwen, head of the Chinese delegation to the Melbourne championships, told Reuters at the team's high-tech training centre in Beijing.

"We want our athletes to try some new moves as preparation for the Beijing Games," Zhang said. "We want to develop some new talent."

China will also be looking to vault back into the ranks of the world's gymnastics powers after their flop at the Athens Olympics, where they took only one gold and finished deep down the table in the men's and women's team events.

"Bear hardship, strive for the team, start from less than scratch, do the utmost to catch up," reads a huge slogan hanging on a wall of the lofty training facility.

RECORD RECOVERY

For Li Xiaopeng, China's gymnastics hero, breaking a national team record at Melbourne would be a perfect way to move on from his no-medal result at Athens.
