Essen (Germany), July 27 -- Japan rose to first in the medal table of the FISU World University Games by churning out 11 gold medals.
The gymnastics competition staged at the Messe Essen Hall was practically a rivalry between Japan and China, as the two teams claimed seven of 10 golds of the day with Japan taking four on Saturday.
With four golds in the women's team, all-around, vault and individual floor under her belt, Japan's Shoko Miyata thought it was the best way to show what she is capable of.
"This was a perfect performance and a perfect finish to this event. This was the perfect international comeback for me. The best way of showing what I can do. I'm happy about all those medals. It's amazing," she said.
