Chen cheered himself up with the objective of claiming his third consecutive world championship title in the rings event, but the awful landing meant that he had finished his performance this time.

Chen, who will turn 25 at the end of this year, also believed that he need to shoulder more responsibilities in the Chinese men's team as their big brother Yang Wei retired after the achievements at Beijing Olympics.

"As a veteran in the team, I think I need to consider more about the whole team," he said.

Although his journey in London was over, Chen is going to participate in two legs of World Cup later. "Maybe I could benefit from the unexpected loss," said Chen. "There are three years ahead of the London Olympics and I need to adjust myself in time."

The other five competitors of the Chinese men's team including three-time Olympic champion Zou Kai all cruised into the finals.
