JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Daiki Hashimoto is back on top in men’s gymnastics.

The Japanese superstar bounced back from a disappointing sixth-place finish at the Paris Olympics to earn his third all-around title at the world championships on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Hashimoto used superb performances on floor exercise, vault and high bar to post a total of 85.131 to outduel runner-up Zhang Boheng of China at 84.333. Noe Seifert of Switzerland earned the bronze with a score of 82.831.

Hashimoto, the 2020 Olympic champion and the gold medalist at the world championships in 2022 and 2023, saw his hopes of earning Olympic gold last summer vanish when he fell off the pommel horse , sending him well off the podium while teammate Shinnosuke Oka pulled off a somewhat surprising victory.
