Champions All Pommel horse
Three gymnasts tied for first place at the 1903 world championships, the first in the history of this sport: Georges Dejaehère and Joseph Lux, both of France, as well as the Dutch competitor Thyssen all scored 18,00 points. Swiss gymnasts Mack, Reusch and Stalder ruled on pommel horse in the 1930's. After the Soviet gymnasts Shaginyan and Shakhlin dominated ruled in the 1950s, Slovenian Miroslav Cerar took three consecutive world titles between 1962 and 1970. Zoltan Magyar (HUN) followed in his foot steps by winning the same amount of world titles.
In the 1980's, Soviets, Germans and Hungarians took turns on the highest step of the podium, succeeded by the exceptional
Pae (PRK) and Li, Donghua (SUI). Currently, Romanian Marius Urzica is the master of the pommel horse universe despite only having won a single world title so far (in 1994), followed by the titles in 2001 and 2002.
But in Anaheim 2003 went two titles to Asian gymnasts: TENG, Haibin (CHN) and Takehiro Kashima (JPN). With Xiao, Qin China wins again in Melbourne 2005, but also in Arhus 2006.
