Pommel horse, men: the oldie can still do it

The best of the qualification could not be defeated on the pommel horse in the final either. The Irishman Rhys McClenaghan showed a flawless routine and won the world title in a superior manner. The surprise of the day came from second-placed Ahmad Abu Al Soud. The Jordanian, who had never made it to a World Cup final before, won silver. The 38-year-old veteran Harutyun Merdinyan from Armenia secured bronze.

Uneven bars, women: China’s Xiaoyuan successful again

With a dream score of 14.966 points, Wei Xiaoyuan successfully defended her world championship title from the previous year. Behind the Chinese, Shilese Jones (USA) secured the silver medal.

Rings, men: Asil world champion for the first time

After silver at the European Championships in Munich, it was enough for Adem Asil to win gold in Liverpool. The native Egyptian, who has been representing Turkey since 2020, performed gymnastics on the rings for the World Championship title. Zou Jingyuan (CHN) and Courtney Tulloch (GBR) completed the podium.
