ย ย Park scored 14.700 points on the apparatus, behind his Japanese rival Masayoshi Yamamoto, who won gold with 15.033 points, and Uzbeki Abdulla Azimov, who took silver with 14.866 points.
ย ย The bronze makes up for Park’s disappointing all-around on Tuesday, where he’d finished 10th due to his poorer-than-expected performance on the high bar. The 19-year-old had been largely considered the gold medal hopeful in the discipline for the host nation.
ย ย Meanwhile, South Korean vault extraordinaire Yang Hak-seon failed to medal in the men’s floor exercise with a back-of-the-pack score of 14.100 points. His North Korean rival Ri Se-gwang wasn’t
that much better with 14.533 points. The Chinese Zou Kai and Huang Yuguo dominated the race, executing the most difficult moves with precision. (Yonhap)
