China’s Wei Xiaoyuan retained her title on uneven bars at the 51st Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Liverpool on Saturday.
The 18-year-old prepared a routine with a difficulty score of 6.600 points, the highest in the final and staged a solid performance to finish first with 14.966 points.
American Shilese Jones followed behind with 14.766 points while Olympic champion Nina Derwael of Belgium took the bronze with 14.700 points.
Wei said she felt she was in good form during warm-up and she wasn’t too nervous as she has already had the experience of competing at the World Championships last year.
“Defending the title will boost my confidence for the whole of the Paris Olympic cycle. I have high hopes of winning gold again in Paris 2024,” said Wei.
