China garnered a total of nine golds in the top-class competitions, setting the best result at one Olympic Games. It was also the first Olympic gold captured by a Chinese gymnast in horizontal bar.
Meanwhile, it was another gain in Zou's medal haul after he won the floor exercise and the men's team titles in Beijing.
Zou ranked only fifth in the qualification. The 20-year-old gymnast remained quite calm in the final, although reigning world champion Fabian Hambuechen of Germany as the first one to compete, impressed the judges with high-quality twists and turns on the bar.
