China outclassed their rivals easily to retain their men's team title at the world gymnastics championships on Thursday.
Earning top scores on four of the six apparatus, the Chinese team underlined their dominance with a final total of 281.900, a convincing 4.875 points ahead of silver medallists Japan.
Hosts Germany gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about to capture the bronze.
Last year's silver medallists Russia were seventh in the eight-team final, further misery for the former powerhouse after their women's team finished last in their final on Wednesday.
The United States finished fourth in a final that many critics had thought they would not even qualify for and proved that last year's abysmal 13th place had been a blip.
In the same rotation group as Japan, China outshone their fellow Asians on the pommel horse after a solid but unspectacular start on the floor exercise.
Xiao Qin spun his legs fast and high in a stylish routine that earned 16.225 and suggested he held on to his pommel horse title in the weekend's apparatus finals.
Last year's rings champion Chen Yibing showed he too was at his best, effortlessly switching from controlled handstands to dynamic swings on the rings to pick up 16.450.
The holders surged further ahead after the vault where defending all-round champion Yang Wei's explosive twisting effort notched 16.525, the day's highest score on that apparatus.
Japan went one better than last year in getting the silver medal but the gulf between them and the winners was evident, especially on the rings where they repeatedly seemed unable to hold their handstands.

本周四，中國男子體操隊(duì)以絕對優(yōu)勢衛(wèi)冕世界體操錦標(biāo)賽男子團(tuán)體冠軍。
中國隊(duì)在六個器械項(xiàng)目的四項(xiàng)中得分最高，最終以總分281.9分的絕對優(yōu)勢奪得冠軍，高出亞軍日本隊(duì)4.875分。
東道主德國隊(duì)奪得季軍，這讓國內(nèi)觀眾為之歡呼喝彩。
去年的銀牌得主俄羅斯隊(duì)在八支決賽隊(duì)伍中屈居第七，這是繼周三俄羅斯女隊(duì)在女團(tuán)決賽中墊底后這支“昔日”強(qiáng)隊(duì)遭受的又一打擊。
美國隊(duì)獲得第四名，這證明去年美國在世錦賽上第13名的成績只是一個暫時的波動，此前有很多評論人士認(rèn)為，美國甚至進(jìn)不了決賽。
中國隊(duì)與日本隊(duì)在決賽中同項(xiàng)競技。中國隊(duì)在鞍馬項(xiàng)目中發(fā)揮出色，力壓日本隊(duì)。在之前的自由體操項(xiàng)目上，中國隊(duì)發(fā)揮穩(wěn)定，但并不出彩。
肖欽在鞍馬上快速旋轉(zhuǎn)雙腿，全旋時雙腿擺動幅度很高，十分漂亮地完成了整套動作，最后他以16.225分的高分“保住了”自己“鞍馬王”的頭銜。
去年的吊環(huán)冠軍陳一冰也發(fā)揮了自己的最好水平。他的整套動作流暢自如，輕松地由成手倒立向擺動過渡，得到了16.45的高分。
在跳馬項(xiàng)目中，全能衛(wèi)冕冠軍楊威以其具有爆發(fā)力的空翻轉(zhuǎn)體拿到了16.525分的最高分，進(jìn)一步拉開了與日本隊(duì)的距離。
與去年相比，日本隊(duì)今年進(jìn)步了一名，奪得亞軍。但日本隊(duì)與中國隊(duì)的差距還是很明顯，尤其在吊環(huán)項(xiàng)目中，日本隊(duì)員好幾次手倒立時都好像堅(jiān)持不住了。
