STUTTGART, Germany: Yang Wei survived a fall from the high bar to give China their second gold medal of the world gymnastics championships here on Friday.
A day after helping China win a record-equalling eighth men's team crown the 27-year-old Yang took his seventh world gold.
The veteran had looked to be coasting to victory when he dominated the competition, scoring highest on three of the six apparatus - pommel horse, rings and parallel bars.
