China could have made it three in a row, but Olympic bronze medalist Yang Yilin withdrew. Japan's Koko Tsurumi was third.
Cheng, a three-time world champion on vault, easily won her signature event. Though she had a slight hop forward on the landing of one of her vaults, the second was practically perfect and she finished with a 15.05. Switzerland's Ariella Kaeslin was second (14.912) and Aagje Vanwalleghem of Belgium (14.425) third, giving each country its first World Cup Final medal.
None of China's male gold medalists was in Madrid, but Zhang did a pretty good imitation.
He beat Krisztian Berki, the silver medalist on pommel horse at the 2007 world championships, as well as Olympic bronze medalist Louis Smith. Berki was second and Australia's Prashanth Sellathurai was third, while Smith dropped to fourth after struggling early in his routine.
Hypolito, the reigning world champion on floor, was distraught after falling on the landing of his final tumbling pass in Beijing, fighting tears as he sat in a chair. Not only had he cost himself the gold medal, he left without any Olympic medal. But all of that was forgotten on Saturday.
Hypolito landed that last pass perfectly and the rest of his routine was equally impressive, earning him a 16.125. That put him comfortably in front of Olympic all-round silver medalist Kohei Uchimura of Japan (15.9) and Israel's Alexander Shatilov (15.5).
Still rings was expected to be the highlight of the day, featuring Vorobiov, Athens Olympic champion Dimostenis Tampakos and two world champions, Jordan Jovtchev and Yuri van Gelder. It didn't disappoint, with the gymnasts putting on one muscle-busting routine after another.
