Rings
1. Liu Yang, China, 15.133
2. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece, 14.866
3. Artur Avetisyan, Armenia, 14.833

Despite his silver medal, things are looking foreboding for Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece on still rings. The reigning Olympic champion shockingly missed out on qualifying for Tokyo at the world championships …

Petrounias’s sole route to the Games now is through the World Cup series, and with Liu looking so strong and likely to keep the spot, this looks less and less likely.

Daiki Hashimoto wins All Japan

18-years-old!

Super AA final:

1. Daiki Hashimoto 86.031
2. Kazuma Kaya 85.664
3. Kazuyuki Takeda 85.364

There was a weird 0.5 deduction from the AA if you didn’t have a high enough difficulty total.

For example, Shogo Nonomura scored 85.699 but the difficulty penalty knocked his score down to 85.199 and 4th.
