The Chinese powerhouse grabbed three golds out of five apparatus events at the 41st Artistic Gymnastics World Championships here on Saturday but Olympic champion Zou Kai believed that his performance in the floor was underestimated. Three-time Olympic champion Zou somersaulted on the floor as the first competitor on Saturday, executing a set of movements pretty well with the highest difficulty score of 6.8 points among the eight finalists.
Although he was "very satisfied" with his performance, Zou was 0.025 point behind the final winner Marian Dragulescu as the 29-year-old Romanian veteran pleased the judges well to earn 15.700 points.
"Maybe the judges prefer the style of Dragulescu and he has big fame," said Zou. "Of course, I need to improve the quality of my movements and pay more attention to the details."
Alexander Shatilov of Israel pocketed the bronze with a result of 15.575 points.

Later, Zhang Hongtao, He Kexin and Yan Mingyong give few chances to the other finalists as they showed great dominance in their specialties. Zhang lowered the difficulty score of his pommel horse routine to 6.6 points, but amazingly finished his final in an execution score of 9.6 points. He punched into the air with both fists immediately after his landing.
