Early life

[edit]

Tang was diagnosed with mild attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in kindergarten, and his parents enrolled him in gymnastics after a doctor suggested it to burn off energy.[2] He was inspired by the 2004 documentary Jump! Boys that featured Taiwanese gymnasts including future teammate Lee Chih-kai.[3]
