Jiangsu's men's gymnastics team clinched victory by a razor-thin margin at China's 15th National Games this week, defending their 2023 title in a showdown that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final rotation. 🌟
In a rematch of last year's championship, Jiangsu (328.957 points) narrowly outscored Hunan (327.024) through clutch performances on the pommel horse – where 20-year-old Hong Yanming delivered a competition-high 14.466 points. Olympic medalist Zhang Boheng nearly carried Hunan to victory with stellar parallel bars work, but early errors proved decisive.
