In 2004 he was selected for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Xiao Qin was one of the favorites for the Olympic title on Pommel Horse, but his dreams were shattered when he fell in qualifications. He finished 5th with his team and a respectable sixth place finish on the Horizontal Bar. He won the gold medal in the team event at the 2006 Asian Games.
