VINAY NAYUDU DOHA

THE men’s team final of the 48th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2018 on Monday went down to the wire, and like how! Perhaps, it doesn’t get more closer than this in sport. With the world title at stake and almost every pair of more than 4,000 eyes fixated on him at the Aspire Dome, Russia’s star gymnast Nikita Nagornyy had to perform last on the horizontal bar appa- ratus to ensure that his team outscored the Chinese.
