CHENGDU - China grabbed another gold in the artistic gymnastics, winning women's team final with 163.029 points at the Chengdu Universiade here on Thursday, while Japan got the silver and Spain took bronze.

China's team consisted of Luo Huan, Ou Yushan, Wei Xiaoyuan, Du Siyu and Zhang Jin, while defending champion Japan featured Kohane Ushioku, Shoko Miyata, Kokoro Fukasawa, Chiaki Hatakeda and Ayaka Sakaguchi.

China's women started the final in the second subdivision from uneven bars, and topped the team ranking with 163.029 points. Japan was in the third subdivision, finishing second on 160.663 points.

China showed dominance in their strong rotations of uneven bars and balance beam. However, back-to-back uneven bars world champion Wei, who represents Beijing Sport University, was not on form, failing to register an effective score to the team's total in the two events.

Japan lost their advantage on the vault due to constant mistakes made on the uneven bars, and didn't catch up in rotations of balance beam and floor exercise.
