World Champions China

Sun Wei,ย Yang Jiaxing,ย You Hao,ย Zhang Bohengย andย Zou Jingyuanย โ€” were able to put a rotten qualification day behind them as they eclipsed Japan and Great Britain for their 10th consecutive team medal at the World Championships and first title since 2018. …

Sun Wei – H Bar

Fan favourite Sun Wei is hurting in Liverpool. Minor injuries.

But in the Team competition he brought his usual beautiful form and style.

Shoyo MIYATA – Vault

Canada coming 3rd with four gymnasts who have never been to Worlds was great. And surprising. BUT Canada does have Ellie Black.

The miracle run of a Japanese team with NO veterans was even more astonishing. Until the very end, they kept putting up routines like this.

There are MANY stories to tell.

But for me the biggest surprise was Japan. This team with zero Worlds experience were fantastic. Up until their final routine on Bars.

For Worlds 2023 all eyes will be on Japan. These are going to be some of the top gymnasts in the world very, very soon.
