China have denied the United States an eighth consecutive women’s team title at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships as Qiu Qiyuan sealed a dramatic victory with the final routine. Qiu needed to score more than 12.600 points in the closing floor routine to give her country gold and did just enough with 12.833 on Wednesday. The USA last failed to win gold when they were beaten by Russia at the 2010 championships, but were left to count the cost of several errors on the balance beam in Rotterdam. China, who also led the way in qualifying, finished with 165.764 points, edging out the Americans by 0.233 overall. Japan were a further 1.468 points behind as they completed the podium ahead of fourth-placed France.
