China simply the best

Deng Linlin of China performs her routine in the women's beam final at the Gymnastic World Championships at the O2 Arena in London on Sunday. Deng won the event. China ended the World Championships with six gold medals as Deng, Wang Guanyin (15.975 on parallel bars) and Zou Kai (16.150 on horizontal bars) won individual titles on Sunday.

The Chinese were powerhouses at last year's Olympic Games in Beijing, winning seven individual golds, as well as two more in the team events.

They have followed that up by blitzing the championships in the English capital with a total of nine individual medals, five of them coming on Sunday, to show they are still the dominant force in gymnastics.
