Medals are on offer in the apparatus finals in men's parallel bars and horizontal bar and women's balance beam in the Tokyo 2020 Gymnastics Competition on August 3.

Zou Jingyuan China is the favourite to take gold on parallel bars as the only man to have broken 16.000 on any event. Germany's Lukas Dauser and China's You Hao qualified in second and third, respectively.

The high-flying horizontal bar final will be an exciting close to artistic gymnastics competition in Tokyo. But one familiar name, Kohei Uchimura, will be missing after he flew off the bar on a pirouetting element in the qualifying round. Instead, Daiki Hashimoto of Japan was the top qualifier at 15.033. Kazakhstan's Milad Karimi was a surprise second-place finisher and could also challenge for the podium.

Women's balance beam will feature two Chinese athletes who qualified first and second: Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing. American Simone Biles also returns to action as the reigning Olympic bronze medallist and world champion and has been explicit about her hopes to win gold on the beam event in Tokyo.

Earlier in the day, the field of 18 will be reduced to 12 in the semifinals. Only the top-12 finishers will compete in the finals.
