No encerramento do Mundial de Ginástica Artística, em Roterdã, ouros foram para ginastas de cinco países. A trave levou o Brasil ao pódio com Flávia Saraiva, mas o título ficou com a argelina Kaylia Nemour. Nas outras finais, Armênia, Estados Unidos, China e Taiwan ouviram seus hinos no lugar mais alto.
No salto, o armênio Artur Davtyan produziu um dos resultados mais expressivos do dia. Ele cravou as duas passagens — um Dragulescu, ou seja, duplo mortal grupado com meia volta para frente, e um salto de duas piruetas e meia — e levou o bônus nas duas notas. Média de 14.850, e o segundo título mundial veio quatro anos depois do primeiro.
O britânico Jake Jarman montou o combo de saltos mais difícil da final e ficou com a prata, com 14.650. O bronze trouxe um resultado inédito: o norueguês Sebastian Sponevik somou 14.366 e garantiu a primeira medalha da Noruega na história de um Mundial de Ginástica Artística.
Nas paralelas, outro especialista em execução levou ouro: o chinês Zou Jingyuan faturou o quinto título mundial no aparelho, sobrando com 15.733 e uma execução de 9.633. Ilia Kovtun, croata, ficou com a prata (14.900), e o russo Daniel Marinov completou o pódio com 14.866.
Na barra fixa, o ouro ficou com o taiwanês Tang Chia-Hung, medalhista olímpico, autor da série mais difícil da final: 14.966. Oka Shinnosuke, japonês, e Sergei Naidin, russo, somaram os mesmos 14.800; a prata foi do japonês, por execução melhor (8.900 contra 8.400).
A sessão feminina se encerrou no solo, onde os Estados Unidos dominaram: Claire Pease levou o ouro com 13.866, Reese Esponda veio em seguida com 13.566 e a francesa Maiana Prat completou o pódio com 13.466.
A tônica do dia foi o acabamento dos movimentos: dois dos nomes mais reconhecidos justamente pela execução impecável terminaram no alto do pódio. E, em vários aparelhos, a diferença entre ouro e prata ficou abaixo de meio ponto, o que transforma cada décimo em vantagem decisiva.
