Performing to the theme “The Wizard,” Guo earned a difficulty mark of 34.600, the highest among all competitors, combining precision and fluidity in his routine.
He went on to secure a second gold medal in the men’s solo free final yesterday, scoring 259.4950 points.
“I had a successful winter training period, and that has paid off with this gold medal,” Guo said. “My physical strength has improved, allowing me to execute more high-difficulty elements. My speed and movement frequency are better, which helps both my artistic expression and overall performance.”
Guo’s victory in the technical event marked China’s first gold medal of the Paris stop. In the team free final, China’s second lineup secured silver with 238.3467 points for their routine “The Language of Water,” finishing behind the neutral squad, with France taking bronze.
