All-around champion Lexie Priessman (U.S.) picked up three more titles while the Japanese men claimed all but one gold Sunday as the Japan Junior International concluded in Yokohama.

The powerful Priessman claimed golds on vault (Amanar), uneven bars and floor exercise (double-double mount; full-in dismount). Amelia Hundley, Priessman's teammate at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy, won the silver medals on vault and floor exercise and bronze on uneven bars.

Korea's Sung Ji Hye, the all-around bronze medalist, won the balance beam title.

The Japanese dominated the men's finals. All-around champion Shogo Nonomura picked up golds on pommel horse and parallel bars. Nonomura, 18, is the alternate to Japan's team to next month's world championships.

All-around runner-up Ryohei Kato also won two golds on floor exercise and vault. Ichinose Takashi, not eligible for all-around awards, won high bar.

Great Britain's Courtney Tulloch interrupted Japan's gold rush, defeating Nonomura for the gold medal in the still rings rinal.

Held every two years, the Japan Junior International is one of the most prestigious junior events in gymnastics. The previous two winners for the women were Viktoria Komova of Russia (2009) and Rebecca Bross of the U.S. (2006).
