Zhang Boheng (Gymnastics)
As one of the best men's all-round gymnasts in the world, Zhang will face serious challenges from Olympic champion Daiki Hashimoto of Japan in Hangzhou. Zhang beat Hashimoto by 0.017 points to win the men's all-around title at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships just three months after Hashimoto was crowned at the Tokyo Olympics.
Zhang lost the rematch at the Artistic Gymnastics Worlds one year later, but took the gold at the Chengdu Universiade this August after Hashimoto quit due to injury.
In Hangzhou, the 23-year-old Zhang and 22-year-old Hashimoto will be in their fourth duel, both aiming for the highest podium.
