Canadian Zachary Clay finished 21st for his best result at a world championship. His best performance was on pommel horse, where he scored 13.566 for ninth.
In men’s rings, Olympic champion Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece proved a crowd-pleaser by spreading his fingers while holding a horizontal pose rather than gripping with his fists. It didn’t count toward his score, but Petrounias still won ahead of Denis Abliazin of Russia and Liu Yang of China.
