On the 4th, the competition for the men's individual all-around gymnastics event of the Chengdu Universiade ended. The fierce competition between Zhang Boheng, a Chinese player, and Dahui Hashimoto, a Japanese player, did not happen. Dahui Hashimoto fell off his equipment in the Pommeled Horse event, causing injury and decided to withdraw from the competition.
In the absence of the strongest competitor, Zhang Boheng ultimately won the championship with 86.733 points, which is the third time that the Chinese gymnastics team has won the championship at this year's Universiade. It is worth mentioning that after seeing Daiichi Hashimoto injured, Zhang Boheng took the initiative to inquire about the opponent's situation and comfort them, demonstrating a good character of "friendship first, competition second".

As an Olympic champion and the all-around champion of the last World Championships in Japan, Dahui Hashimoto fell from his equipment in the second Pommeled Horse race and chose to withdraw because of head injury. On the spot, Daiichi Hashimoto shed sad tears. In the previous free exercise, Daiichi Hashimoto also made mistakes and only scored 13.233 points.
Zhang Boheng from China and Daihui Hashimoto from Japan are the strongest competitors in the all-around event of the Paris Olympic cycle. In contrast, Zhang Boheng is more comprehensive, while Hashimoto Daihui stands out in terms of difficulty and quality in some projects. Zhang Boheng and Hashimoto Daihui have also had direct conversations on the stage of the World Championships in the past two years, and they have each defeated their opponents to win the World Championships championship.

At this Universiade, the two of them met again, and people expected the all-around final to be exceptionally exciting and gripping. However, under the condition of Zhang Boheng's stable performance, Hashimoto Dahui made major mistakes in both the first free exercise and the second Pommeled Horse competition, in which he dropped his equipment and hit his head in the Pommeled Horse event.
