Zhang Hongtao of China in action en route to winning gold in the pommel horse.

BEIJING, Dec. 15 -- China's gymnasts are raking in the gold again.

He Kexin, Cheng Fei and Zhang Hongtao won titles at the World Cup Final, giving the Chinese gold medals in three of the five events contested in Madrid on Saturday. They might have added another, had they sent someone for the men's floor exercise.

He added a World Cup title to the Olympic gold she won on uneven bars, while Cheng won her second straight crown on vault. Zhang, who wasn't part of China's men's team at the Beijing Olympics, won the pommel horse.

Diego Hypolito of Brazil rebounded from his devastating finish in Beijing to win the men's floor title, and Ukraine's Oleksandr Vorobiov upgraded the bronze he won on still rings at the Olympics to a gold.

The U.S., winner of 10 medals in Beijing, did not send anyone to Madird.

Five more titles of women's floor, balance beam, men's vault, high bar and parallel bars were to be awarded yesterday.

China dominated the Beijing Olympics, winning the men's and women's team golds, the men's all-round and six of the 10 event titles. The Chinese finished with a total of 14 medals.

He, at the center of an age controversy, wasn't at her best in Madrid. She nearly fell after missing a handstand on the low bar, and took a step forward on her dismount. But she does one of the toughest routines in the world - her difficulty mark was more than a half-point ahead of anyone else - and that was enough to give her the gold. She finished with 16.250 while teammate Jiang Yuyuan was second with 15.7.
