Tang Jiahong made a mistake in the horizontal bar final of the Nagoya Asian Games and missed the medal and finished fifth.

"Elvis of the World" Tang Jiahong accidentally made a bar drop error in the men's horizontal bar final of the Nagoya Asian Games competitive gymnastics today, and finally finished fifth with 13.466 points. He admitted frankly that his performance was not as comfortable as in the Asian Championships in May. Although it was a pity, this was also one of many games in his career. He would calm down as soon as possible and face future challenges with a more normal mind.

Tang Jiahong scored 14.166 points in this horizontal bar qualifying competition and advanced to the finals in fourth place. In today's final, he came in third place. Unfortunately, when he turned around and connected with the action, he failed to catch the bar and fell to the ground. In the end, he ranked fifth with a difficulty score of 5.9, an execution score of 7.566, and a total score of 13.466.

Although he has participated in many international competitions, Tang Jiahong admits that his stress resistance needs to be improved. For example, although he won the bronze medal at the last Paris Olympics, he also had an accident when he fell off the bar. "I think this is one of the many competitions in my gymnastics career. I still need to get better. The main thing is to find out where the problem is so that I can do better in the next competition."

Tang Jiahong mentioned that when the men's team won the bronze medal this time, they originally hoped to continue their momentum. "Zhikai Pomma failed to win the medal the day before, but it was successfully completed. I also wanted to say if I could help him avenge his shame, but I may have thought too much this time and was not mentally prepared enough. I will make myself stronger in the future and challenge again next time."

Although he failed to win the medal as he wished, Tang Jiahong still thanked the team, coaching staff and sparring partners for their support all the way, and especially thanked his wife for giving him a lot of space and becoming an important backing in his preparations.

Tang Jiahong emphasized that although the opportunity to win medals in the Asian Games was missed, there are still important events such as the World Championships and the team's ultimate goal is to enter the Olympics. As long as he finishes in the top 8 of the team at this year's World Championships, he can guarantee that he will be qualified as a team to participate in the World Championships next year. It is relatively more advantageous to qualify for the Los Angeles Olympics. He himself will adjust to his best condition as soon as possible.
