Russia rounded off the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships in style as they picked up another two gold medals on the final day of the event at the Putian Complex Sports Gymnasium in China.

Having clinched both titles on offer yesterday, the formidable Russian contingent had their sights on another double and they managed to achieve the feat, claiming the mixed pairs and women’s group crowns.

Marina Chernova, the world champion in 2014, and Georgy Pataraya led the way from start to finish in the mixed pairs event and sealed victory in the final round as their performance was rewarded with 29.535 points from the judges.

Americans Axel Osborne and Tiffani Williams, perhaps the surprise package of the Championships, took home the silver medal by registering 28.220 points on the scoreboard.

The bronze medal went the way of British duo Lewis Walker and Isabella Montagna, who managed to cling on to the final spot on the podium, despite being given a 0.300 penalty as they finished with a total of 27.740 points.

Chernova and Pataraya’s commanding success came after Yulia Nikitina, Valeriia Belkina and Zhanna Parkhomets had clinched the women’s group honours with another composed display in the final.

Much like their compatriots, the trio came into the decisive day as the team to beat and they did not disappoint, scoring 28.880 points to finish above China’s Li Run, Xia Zhimeng and Yang Xiaoyi, who were 0.420 adrift.

Katsiaryna Barysevich, Veranika Nabokina and Karina Sandovich of Belarus qualified in third and that is where they finished in the final, earning bronze with a score of 28.220 points.

China sealed the final title of the Championships thanks to the formidable men’s group quartet, comprised of Li Zheng, Rui Liuming, Zhang Teng and Zhou Jiahuai.

The Chinese outfit ensured the host country ended the event on home soil on a high as they saved their best until last, scoring a remarkable 30.340 points to comfortably defeatIsrael’s Lidar Dana, Kalfa Yannay, Efraim efi Sach and Daniel Uralvetich.

The Israeli team also delivered under pressure to bag a surprise silver medal on 28.690, a slender 0.05 more than Britain's Conor Sawenko, Charlie Tate, Adam Upcott and Lewis Watts.

Russia, unsurprisingly, clinched top spot on the medal standings with five gold medals, while China’s triumph on the last day saw them finish second.
