Taiwanese gymnast Tang Chia-hung has made history as the first Taiwanese gymnast to win a world championship world medal. The athlete clinched gold in the horizontal bar final at the 2026 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in the Netherlands. He returned to Taiwan on Tuesday to a hero’s welcome, with his sights now set on qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Let’s hear from him.

Tang Chia-hung
World Champion
After my disappointment at the Asian Games, I approached this competition as a fresh start. I’m thrilled to have won this gold medal for Taiwan. It means a lot to me. My first goal next year will be to qualify for the Los Angeles Olympics, either as a part of the team or as an individual.

Tang’s historic victory marks Taiwan’s fourth medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Previously, Chang Feng-chih won silver in 1993 and Lee Chih-kai scored a silver and two bronze medals in 2018 and 2019. But Tang’s is Taiwan’s first-ever gold at the championships, making the achievement all the more significant. Looking ahead, Tang says his priority is to secure Olympic qualification through next year’s qualifying events, either as an individual or as part of the national team.
