Fan shares four-way tie on uneven bars
Print Edition
China grabbed its first gold at the world gymnastics championships on the penultimate day of competition as Fan Yilin shared an unprecedented four-way tie on uneven bars.
The 16-year-old from Beijing claimed her first major title but shared the glory with three other gymnasts 鈥 American Madison Kocian and Russian duo Viktoriia Komova and Daria Spiridonova 鈥 after all scored 15.366 points to the amazement of spectators at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the first time that more than three gymnasts have shared a world title in the 112-year history of the championships, although five shared parallel bars silver back in 1922. For Fan the gold broke China鈥檚 title drought in Glasgow after its men, the reigning six-time champion, lost the team title to Japan. Defending rings champion Liu Yang had to settle for bronze on the apparatus on Saturday, with teammate You Hao taking silver behind Greece鈥檚 Eleftherios Petrounias.
