Daiki Hashimoto wins fourth straight world all-around gymnastics gold

Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto won the men’s all-around gold at the world gymnastics championships in Rotterdam on Thursday.

The 25-year-old finished with 85.988 points, including 14.766 on the high bar in the final rotation.

The victory is his fourth straight world title, a streak that began in 2021.

Hashimoto recovered from a slow start on floor exercise, where he stood 10th after the first rotation.

His high-bar routine secured the top spot, while China’s Yang Haonan took silver and Great Britain’s Joe Fraser won bronze.

Hashimoto is the 2020 Olympic all-around champion, and his world-title streak is second only to Japan’s Kohei Uchimura, who won six in a row.

He now has two more consecutive world titles to match Uchimura’s record.
