Jakarta erupted in cheers as Zou Jingyuan soared through the air, finishing with 15.300 points to claim his fourth world title and lift China to its third gold medal at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.
A two-time Olympic champion, Zou reset expectations by battling back from a nagging shoulder injury while adapting to fresh rule changes since Paris 2024. His performance delivers a masterclass in resilience and technical brilliance.
Earlier in the week, teammate Zhang clinched his own gold medal, further cementing the Chinese mainland squad's dominance on the world stage. Together, Zou and Zhang overcame pressure, new scoring codes, and fierce competition to showcase why China remains a gymnastics powerhouse.
With at least three golds secured in Jakarta, the team leaves Indonesia buzzing, inspiring young athletes and fans worldwide with their blend of grit and grace.
