After that, the famous Fujian player came on the stage. Although Lin Chaopan performed a more difficult set of moves, he failed to stand firmly once he landed and only scored 14.867 points, which did not pose a threat to Muzile. On the contrary, Sun Bing of the Tianjin team played more steadily, scoring 14.9 points, and joined hands with Muzile to reach the championship and runner-up podiums.
After finishing his game, Muzile performed a set of fancy celebration moves in front of the audience. "It was planned in advance. As soon as the action is completed, I will do it," Muzile said. "I didn't think too much about the championship. I was a little disappointed after the qualifying competition. I just wanted to go smoothly. Today's The competition should be said to be the best one this year.”
Lin Chaopan, who has been fighting continuously for several days, showed a hint of fatigue, "After winning the all-around championship, I relaxed my mentality.

If you can compete for medals, compete for medals, and if you can compete for the championship, compete for the championship.” The next day, Lin Chaopan will also participate in three individual competitions. "I think my physical strength is fine, and I hope to get on the podium just like today." Lin Chaopan said.
In the men's pommel horse, Weng Hao, who ranked first in the qualifying rounds, excelled in the finals and secured the gold medal with the highest score of 15.2. "Of course I'm satisfied with winning the championship, but I feel like I haven't fully performed it yet. I plan to use this set of moves in this year's World Championships. If I can perform better, it will be no problem." Weng Hao said.
Shandong player Yan Renpeng won the runner-up in the pommel horse event, and Beijing team's famous player Xiao Ruoteng won the third place. The much-watched Sichuan teenager Zou Jingyuan participated in the pommel horse and rings competitions that day, and won fifth place in both events.
Liu Yang, known as the "King of Rings", once again showed off his power in this ring event. During a cross hanging, he slightly tilted his head and said, "On purpose, I want to appear relaxed.
