Rumbutis scored 13.866 points, including 8.4 for execution, in his final routine in Rotterdam. His score was lower than the 14.5 he received in qualifying, but the 26-year-old finished seventh, behind Swiss gymnast Noe Seifert (12.5).
China’s two-time Olympic gold medallist Zou Jingyuan defended his World Championship gold in the event with 15.733 points. Illia Kovtun, the Ukrainian who now represents Croatia, took silver with 14.9, just ahead of Russian Daniel Marinov (14.866).
The last time Sweden had a male gymnast in a World Championship final was in 1992, when Johan Jonasson reached the all-around final.
