Portuguese gymnast Vasco Peso was crowned world tumbling champion on Saturday in Nanjing, China. He scored 31 points in the final, finishing ahead of Azerbaijan’s Aliyev Tofig (29 points) and the United States’ Kaden Brown (28.900 points).
After qualifying for the final with the fourth-highest score, the Portuguese athlete claimed the world title, around six months after winning the European Championships in Portimão.
This was Portugal’s second medal at the Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships, following the silver won by Diogo Fernandes, Diogo Cabral and Francisco José in the men’s double mini-trampoline team event.
