Rings Royalty: Liu Yang Defends Olympic Gold in Paris 🥇

China’s gymnastics legend Liu Yang proved once again why he’s the undisputed king of the rings 🤸♂️, clinching his second consecutive Olympic gold at Paris 2024 with a heart-stopping performance!

The 28-year-old maestro scored 15.300 points, barely edging out teammate Zou Jingyuan (15.233) in a clash of Chinese titans. Greece’s Rio 2016 champion Eleftherios Petrounias rounded out the podium with bronze (15.100).

The showdown came down to millimeters and milliseconds—Liu’s near-perfect double-double dismount gave him the edge over Zou, who wobbled slightly during his final rotation. Fans held their breath as judges scrutinized every muscle ripple and landing angle 🇨🇳✨.

\"This medal tastes sweeter than Tokyo,\" Liu told reporters post-event, referencing his pandemic-era 2021 victory. \"Every Olympian here could’ve won—today was about who wanted it most.\"

With back-to-back golds and three world championship titles, Liu now eyes 2028 Los Angeles 🏅. But first—celebrations à la Parisian style! 🥐✨
