Dragulescu lands vault title

LONDON (Reuters) - Marian Dragulescu grabbed gold on the vault to claim his second title at the world gymnastics championships on Sunday.

Having tumbled to glory on the floor a day earlier, the Romanian made sure he landed on two feet following both of his vaults to win his fourth world title on the apparatus with an average of 16.575.

He edged team mate Flavius Koczi by 0.238 while Russian Anton Golotsutskov earned a bronze.

As soon as Dragulescu nailed his second vault -- an ambitious Yurchenko half-on with 1-1/2 twist -- he punched the air in delight and held up his index fingers to the crowd as if to say, "That's why I'm number one."

Victory increased the 28-year-old's haul of world titles to eight.
