In the men's individual all-around final, Japan's Daiki Hashimoto won the gold medal with a total score of 88.465 in the gymnastics men's all-around final, beating China's Xiao Ruoteng by 0.4 points. Sun Wei eventually finished fourth.
Xiao Ruoteng was in the lead for most of the men's all-around final, but in the final horizontal bar competition, the host player scored 14.933 points and successfully overtook.
In the vaulting session, Hashimoto Made a mistake and went out of bounds with one foot, but the referee gave a high completion score, the same as Xiao Ruoteng's score: 14.7 points. At the end of the competition, Xiao Ruoteng failed to appeal and could only win the silver medal with a total score of 88.065.
This post-match score caused huge controversy. Beijing Olympic gymnastics all-around gold medalist Yang Wei pointed out on Weibo: "Hashimoto's vaulting horse jump, second take-off and landing only deducted 0.9 is indeed a slight injustice, cheers for Xiao Ruoteng and Sun Wei's performance today, play their strongest strength, proud of you!" ”
Chen Yibing, a former Chinese gymnast and Olympic champion, exclusively interpreted the penalty of the vaulting event in an interview with NetEase Sports: "The two are of the same difficulty, Xiao Ruoteng just stepped on the line and Hashimoto Dahui completely stepped out of bounds when he landed, such a score is completely the host advantage." ”
Asked why Xiao Ruoteng was deducted an extra 0.3 points in the end, Chen Yibing said: "I also want to ask the referee why, we have never experienced this kind of deduction before!" I think Xiao Ruoteng should be the champion, and there is no way to solve such a result, which is humiliating and uncomfortable. ”
