Daiki Hashimoto / Zhang Boheng rivalry — Partial History.
They really have gone back and forth, with Oka's win this one, important blip!
2021 Olympics: Hashimoto wins; but China keeps Zhang Boheng at home.
2021 Worlds: Zhang beats Hashimoto after they both hit every apparatus about the best they could
2022 Asian Games: Zhang Boheng wins; Hashimoto not present.
2022 Worlds: Hashimoto takes back the title after they both hit.
2023 Worlds: Hashimoto by a country mile because Zhang Boheng stays home to compete
2023 ("2021" delayed) University Games: Zhang Boheng wins; Hashimoto drops out after Pommel Horse and does not finish, but comes back to do Event Finals.
2024 Olympics: They both struggle — Zhang on FX and Hashimoto on both Pommels and Rings. Zhang gets silver but Hashimoto gets 6th.
2025 University Games: Hashimoto competes, but Zhang doesn't (maybe not eligible?) — so Hashimoto wins more or less unchallenged, even with a major issue on HB.
2025 Worlds: Hashimoto takes the title for the third time after Zhang has minor issues on FX and HB.
And of course, they've faced each other in qualifications most of those times, too, usually with one or the other winning — and NOT always the same guy who ends up winning!
