The Russian gold medallist could hardly contain her excitement saying: “I feel crazy emotions. I am very happy. Today I managed to do everything I trained for and everything went as planned. I had so much adrenaline in me that I didn't really think about how I did after I vaulted. But I was very relieved when I saw the result.”

Hong Un Jong had to settle for silver and USA’s Simone Biles finished in third to take her medal tally over the week to three. Amidst much anticipation, India’s Dipa Karamaker was unable to land her difficult ‘Produnova’ vault which left her in fifth place.

Uneven Bars Final

An impressive day of finals continued with the women’s Uneven Bars which delivered an unprecedented four gold medals. China’s Yilin Fan delivering the highest degree of difficulty, while the USA’s Madison Kocian and Russias Viktoria Komova delivered the best executed performance.

USA gymnast Kocian couldn’t believe she won gold: “It's definitely crazy. I wasn't sure if they were going to do a tie-breaker but I knew my execution would be a little better based on qualifications, so I knew either way I was going to have a medal. I was just hoping it'd still be gold."

Komova’s Russian teammate Daria Spiridonova was the fourth gold medallist in a truly special final.
