Zou Kai led a 1-2 finish for China in the men's horizontal bar while three-time all-around champion Kohei Uchimura had to settle for bronze on the final day of the world gymnastic championships on Sunday.

Zou was the pride and joy of his country after capturing the day's second gold for China, its fourth overall at these worlds. It followed Sui Lu's victory in the women's balance beam.

"I was determined to defend the title for our country. Winning the title like this for the first time in two years is a big confidence boost for me," said Zou, who won the horizontal bar world title in London in 2009. "I want to continue to aim for higher scores and defend the title going forward."
