Chinese gymnast Zou Jingyuan bagged a gold medal in the men's parallel bars at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday.

Zou topped the competition with 16.233 points, followed by German Lukas Dauser with 15.700 points. Turkey's Ferhat Arican took bronze with 15.633 points.

Zou, 23, who placed first in the qualification, received an unparalleled 9.333 execution score in the final, securing the second artistic gymnastics gold for China in Tokyo.

China's You Hao, the silver medalist in the rings final, finished fourth with 15.466 points.
