Russia won the gold with 35.550 points from the hosts China, who had 35.225. Bronze went to Belarus.

The result sees Russian Elena Posevina become a double-gold medallist after having already picked up gold in Athens four years ago.

The event brings the Beijing Olympic gymnastics competition, which the hosts and the US dominated, to a close.
