Vasco Peso wins world tumbling title in Nanjing

Portuguese gymnast Vasco Peso has secured the world title in tumbling at the World Trampoline Championships held in Nanjing, China. Peso, the first Portuguese athlete to win gold in this discipline, finished the final with 31.000 points, ahead of Azerbaijan's Aliyev Tofig and the United States' Kaden Brown.

Upon his return to Lisbon, Peso described the achievement as the highest point of his career. He indicated that he does not intend to defend the title, as he plans to retire following the 2027 European Games. In addition to his gold medal, Peso also earned a silver medal in the team all-around competition.

Portugal concluded the championships with a total of three medals, including silver for Diogo Fernandes, Diogo Cabral, and Francisco José in the men's synchronized mini-trampoline team event.
