REPORT - Men's Pommel Horse Finial

The top qualifier, Japan's Sho Yokoyama, performed his good routine with an excellent execution throughout the routine: scisors half turn with hop, E-flop, D combined elements; Sivado; 5/4 twisting reversed kehre with 3/3 travel. He won this event with 0.6 margin.

Korea's BAE Ga Ram and PARK Eo Jin entered second and third respectively. The minor execution errors cost them to catch up with Yokoyama. China's ZHOU Shixiong fell and missed a medal even though he had a difficult set of elements.
