Twins Take on the World 🌙✨
The Lin sisters enchanted judges with their "Warriors of Moon Shadow" routine, scoring 301.4057 points for second place. Their synchronized movements and dramatic storytelling narrowly trailed Austria’s Alexandri sisters, while neutral athletes claimed bronze. 🩰 "We’re inspired by their skill," said Lin Yanhan. "This motivates us to push harder."
Teen Sensation Rises 🚀
Guo Muye, bouncing back from a fourth-place finish days earlier, scored 220.1926 points with his gravity-defying solo free routine. The rising star acknowledged room for growth: "I’ll improve my height, lines, and connection with judges. Gold is next!" 🏅 Russia’s Aleksandr Maltsev took top honors.
