The host Japanese won four out of five gold medals Sunday as the Toyota Cup concluded in Toyota City.
Yusuke Tanaka (Japan)
2012 Olympian Yusuke Tanaka was the big winner Sunday with titles on both parallel bars and high bar. On p-bars, he edged his older brother, Kazuhito, by .150. Sister Rie Tanaka — the family's third Olympian sibling — claimed the gold on uneven bars on Saturday.
Olympic vault champion Yang Hak-Seon (Korea) won the men's vault title, though he didn't risk his namesake triple-twisting handspring layout front. Hong Kong's Shek Wai Hung placed second behind Yang and also won the silver on high bar behind Tanaka.
Germany's Christopher Jursch was also a double medalist, with bronzes on parallel bars and high bar.
Japanese rising star Ryohei Kato, who won floor exercise and pommel horse on Saturday, missed out on another medal with a fall on high bar.
Reigning world and Olympic all-around champion Kohei Uchimura was absent in Toyota City. Uchimura, who recently announced he and his new wife are expecting a baby in the spring, is resting his sore ankle and shoulder.
The Japanese women went 1-2 on both balance beam and floor exercise. Yu Minobe won balance beam over Yuko Shintake. (A third Japanese gymnast, Asuka Teramoto, topped Shintake but was competing exhibition.)
Vault champion Phan Thị Hà Thanh (Vietnam) won the bronze on balance beam. Canada's Sabrina Gill, the runner-up on uneven bars, picked up another medal with the bronze on floor exercise.
Six-time Olympian Oksana Chusovitina (Germany), fourth on vault on Saturday, took sixth on beam and fourth on floor exercise. Chusovitina, 37, has said she is reconsidering retirement for the time being.
