Daiki Hashimoto was reported to have won his fourth consecutive world championship gold medal in Rotterdam with a score of 85.998. The 25-year-old Japanese gymnast finished ahead of China’s Yang Haonan after recovering from a slow start that left him tenth after the first rotation. He took the lead with a score of 14.700 on the bridge exercise and extended it with 14.766 on the closing apparatus.

Russia’s Arseniy Doekhno fell from second to seventh after a mistake on the closing apparatus, while Britain’s Joe Fraser finished third. Japan’s Shinnosuke Oka, who had beaten Hashimoto in qualifying, did not finish among the medals. Dutch gymnasts Elijah Faverus and Jermain Grünberg finished 20th and 22nd, scoring 76.264 and 74.697 points respectively.
