There were quite a few surprises as well, but what proved most interesting was the revenge which Jordan Jovtchev (Bulgaria) gained over his Debrecen conqueror Szilvester Csollany in the rings.

Tampakos and Jovtchev are the joint reigning World Champions on the event, tying for the gold medal at the 2003 World Championships.
While there was some controversy over Tampakos’ victory, with observers feeling that Jovtchev had a cleaner and more complex routine, Tampakos had proven himself in Olympic competition before Athens, winning a silver medal on the apparatus at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
