Chinese world champion Yang Wei beat Japanese duo Hisashi Mizutori and Hiroyuki Tomita to lift men's all-around title at Doha Asian Games here on Monday.

Yang Wei scored 95.500 points against 93.400 points by Hisashi Mizutori and Yang's arch rival Hiroyuki Tomita followed in third on 93.250.

Yang Wei came forward over Tomita after the third rotation of rings by grabbing 16.550 points in the apparatus and never surrendered his lead from then on.

Yang even outperformed his teammate Chen Yibing, the rings world champion at Aarhus, on Chen's specialty, who recorded a mark of 16.500.

Yang also overwhelmed Tomita in all-around at Aarhus gymnastic worlds and cruised to triple world titles in additional to team and parallel bars.

DPR Korean gymnast Jo Jong Chol maintained a provisional lead in the first two disciplines and soon faded away.

After three rotations, Yang, Tomita and Chen ranked the top three positions in scores of 47.200, 46.700 and 46.500. Yang just consolidated his margin by vaulting 16.600 points in the fourth rotation. Tomita's costly vault error for landing on his rear forfeited his chance of pressing hard on Yang, taking in just 15.450 points.

China's Chen came up with 16.300 to push Tomita to the third place by taking the advantage of Tomita's mistake with only parallel bars and high bar left.

Yang geared up to further extend his lead by scoring 16.300 points, highest on parallel bars, while error-prone Tomita staggered on landing and had to settle with a tied third place with his teammate Hisashi Mizutori before the last high bar competition.

Yang went into the high bar with a edge of 2.450 points over Tomita and Mizutori and a low difficulty routine is enough to ensure the all-around gold. Mizutori collected the highest score of 15.750 points in high bar and finished second in total, while Yang showcased a fluent moves and earned 15.400 points to defend his all-around title.
