I’m not sure which was the bigger highlight.
Morgan is a Potterhead. Big time.

Petrounias again World Rings Champ
1. Petrounias Eleftherios GRE 15.433 Exe. : 9.133 | Diff. : 6.300
2. Abliazin Denis RUS 15.333 Exe. : 9.033 | Diff. : 6.300
3. Liu Yang CHN 15.266 Exe. : 8.966 | Diff. : 6.300
full results
Though the score makes it look close, Petrounias is the closest thing to a guaranteed Gold medal at Worlds. Positions, time of hold. Many dismounts were poor in this Final, however.
Another great final. Judges managed to get the right podium.
Watch a video on Ait Said Samir’s return from horrific injury on Vault in Rio to a 4th place finish on Rings at Worlds.
Colak was happy to get to the final representing Turkey. Good routine.
Here’s something you’ve never seen before. A gymnast crack his neck in the middle of the routine.

Bars at Worlds: CHN, RUS, BEL

1. Fan Yilin CHN 15.166 Exe. : 8.666 | Diff. : 6.500
2. Eremina Elena RUS 15.100 Exe. : 8.800 | Diff. : 6.300

Shockingly Ashton Locklear missed her routine. The cleanest and most consistent of the field. It goes to show that anyone can fall in this sport.
Bars is easily the most entertaining apparatus at Worlds.

Max Whitlock Pommels champion again
1. Whitlock Max GBR 15.441 Exe. : 8.541 | Diff. : 6.900
2. Belyavskiy David RUS 15.100 Exe. : 8.700 | Diff. : 6.400
3. Xiao Ruoteng CHN 15.066 Exe. : 8.666 | Diff. : 6.400

Good final. A different panel of judges might have had Alex ahead of Xiao Ruoteng.
I thought Weng Hao should have had a higher E-score. His execution best of the group.
Worlds Vault Champs – Paseka, Carey, Steingruber
1. Paseka Maria RUS 14.850
2. Carey Jade USA 14.766
3. Steingruber Giulia SUI 14.466

Ellie 4th. Oksana 5th competing the same two vaults, both very well.
Just prior to the Final we learned CAN had submitted Triple Twisting Yurchenko for Shallon. The first I’d ever heard of her considering it. Excitement was short lived, however, as Shallon tried Amanar (over-rotate, under-twist).
Worlds Floor – Kenzo, Artem, Yul
1. Shirai Kenzo JPN 15.633 Exe. : 8.433 | Diff. : 7.200

YUL had the lowest D-score, highest E- score. Happy to see the 2018 #Longines award winner with a Worlds medal.
Good final. Impressive difficulty. I liked Artem’s Zapata mount.

Gymnastics Canada :
Clay had his best performance on the pommel horse with a score of 13.566 putting him in 9th position on that apparatus. …
“I was so happy with the result today. The crowd today especially was phenomenal. Every event – right before I presented, and right after the crowd was just going crazy and it was amazing.”
“The biggest highlight for me was rings – right as I landed that last dismount – the feeling, I just can’t describe it. …
For the first time in history Pommels is Canada’s strongest apparatus for the Senior team.
