Olympics-Gymnastics-Liu leads China to one-two win in men's rings
- Country:
- Japan
Liu Yang led a China one-two in the men's gymnastics rings event final at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday, claiming a slim victory over compatriot You Hao.
Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias, winner of the ring gold at the 2016 Rio Games, took the bronze. Yang's clinical performance and flawless dismount earned him a score of 15.500, a sliver over You's 15.300, and Petrounias's 15.200.
It marks the first time China has topped the rings podium since going one-two at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.
