Chinese In Charge in Osaka
After capturing the men's and women's team titles at the East Asian Games in Osaka this weekend, the Chinese completed a near sweep of the all-around medals. 2000 Olympian Dong Fangxiao won the women's all-around over her Chinese teammates Qi Linzi and Bai Chunyue. 2000 Olympic all-around silver medallist Yang Wei captured the all-around title over teammate Li Dezhi, leaving the bronze to Japan's Hiroyuki Tomita.

In the event finals held Wednesday, Dong added the golds on vault, beam, and floor exercise to her all-around and team golds. Hyung-Ook Shin (KOR) and Akihiro Kasumatsu (JPN) managed to snap China's gold medal streak by tying for the title on pommel horse. Japan's Tomita and Norimasa Iwai both tied Huang Xu for the gold on rings and parallel bars, respectively. With the gymnastics competition ended, China walked away with 13 of 14 possible golds.
