Cheng, nicknamed "queen of vault", took the top title of the vault with a score of 14.900 points. However, she did not perform "Cheng Fei vault" as she was still in the process of recovery after the Beijing Olympic Games.

The 20-year-old, a three-time world champion at vault, lost the vault gold at the Beijing Olympic Games in August, but she led the Chinese ladies team to take the first-ever Olympic team gold medal.

Cheng also took the top title of balance beam with score of 15. 425 points, and her A score is 6.80 points, also the highest among eight finalists.

Cheng's teammate Yang Yilin brought home with a bronze of the event.

Cheng Fei also topped the floor exercise with 15.250 points. Her teammate Yang Yilin, who had caught a cold after she arrived in Germany on Tuesday, also took the bronze in the event.

"For me, the medals are not important, what I care about more is how I adapt myself to training and competition after the Olympics," Cheng told Xinhua.

Despite her unchallenged dominance in all three events she participated in, Cheng attributed her easy victory to the absence of major rivals from the United States and others.

"Quite a lot of strong rivals did not show up here this time, so I did not encounter much difficulty," she said.

Looking ahead, Cheng said her imminent objective is to compete at the World Cup final in Madrid next month.

Also on Saturday, He Ning, another Chinese gym lady, seized the gold medal of uneven bars.
