JAKARTA, Aug. 23 -- Chinese gymnasts have brought the team's gold medal number at the 18th Asian Games to six as veteran Deng Shudi and new comer Liu Tingting won the championship in rings and uneven bars finals respectively here on Thursday.
Deng, 27, a bronze medallist of team event at Rio Olympics, outplayed Japan's Shogo Nonomura to take the gold with 14.750 points, while the Japanese won the silver with 14.625 points and Chen Chihyu from Chinese Taipei earned 14.600 points to grab the bronze.
On the ladies' side, Liu and her teammate Luo Huan wrapped up the gold and silver medals for China with 14.600 and 14.225 points. Jon Jang Mi from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) claimed the bronze with 14.200 points.
Previously, China won four gold medals in men's and women's team and all-around events.
A historic moment for Chinese Taipei came when Lee Chihkai won its first ever gymnastics gold at the Asian Games from the pommel horse final.
The 22-year-old Lee, also the silver medallist of the event at the 2018 Doha World Cup in March, won the dream gold with an unscathed routine featured with highest difficulty and execution scores, namely 6.300 and 9.100. He earned 15.400 points in total, the personal best.
China's Zou Jingyuan and Sun Wei won the silver and bronze medals with 15.100 and 15.075 respectively.
"There's no word to express my feelings now. I have dreamed of the gold, but not a history maker," said Lee, emotionally at the mixed zone. "Last year, also on August 23, I won my first gold medal in pommel horse at the Universiade. I will never forget the date."
