The Japanese men and the Chinese women dominated the first two days of gymnastics competition at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival, a multi-sport event for junior athletes that began Wednesday in Sydney. Led by Jing Tian, the Chinese women won the team title and swept the top three places in the all-around. Jing, 14, earned her highest score on uneven bars with a 15.125. Teammate Lin Zhang, third all-around, earned the highest individual score of the women's competition with a 15.550 on balance beam. Men's all-around champion Kazuaki Koizumi, 17, helped Japan defeat China by more than five points in the team competition. Great Britain's Louis Smith edged Yang Jialin for the all-around silver. Inaugurated in 2001 as the Sydney Youth Olympic Festival, the multi-sport competition is held every other year in many of the same venues used during the 2000 Olympic Games. The 2007 edition features 1600 athletes competing in 20 sports. Past winners of the event include Australia's Monette Russo (2003) and China's Feng Jing (2001). The artistic competition continues on Saturday with the first day of apparatus finals. 2007 Australian Youth Olympic Festival
