2009 world bronze medalist Sui Lu (China) and the Romanian men won two titles Sunday as the Osijek World Cup concluded in the Croatian city.

Despite mistakes, Sui was the competition's only double winner. She took the gold medal on both balance beam (13.750) over Czech veteran Jana Komrskova (12.925), who won vault on Saturday.

On floor exercise, Sui scored 13.825 to top Portugal's Zoi Lima (13.325). Sui won the bronze medal on floor exercise at October's world championships in London.

Croatia's own Tina Erceg won both bronze medals.

The men's field was more competitive, with five world medalists in Sunday's finals. Romanian Flavius Koczi, the silver medalist in London, averaged 16.025 to take the title over Ukraine's Alexander Yakobovsky (15.750).

On paralell bars, Marius Berbercar capitalized on mistakes by world champion Wang Guanyin to win the event over Poland's Adam Kierzkowski and Wang.

Slovenian veteran Aljaz Pegan won high bar, defeating world silver medalist Epke Zonderland. Marijo Moznik picked up another bronze for Croatia.

"The competition was fantastic!" Pegan said. "I am very happy with my victory over the phenomenal Zonderland. I think Osijek was one of the best World Cups. Everything was great."

The 2009 World Cup season concludes next weekend at the DTB Cup in Stuttgart. Look for news and photos from Stuttgart here on International Gymnastics Magazine Online.
