German stars Elisabeth Seitz, Fabian Hambüchen and Marcel Nguyen each took two more titles as the 2012 German Gymnastics Championships ended Sunday in Düsseldorf.

Oksana Chusovitina

Seitz, who won her third consecutive all-around title on Saturday, added gold medals on uneven bars and floor exercise. On bars she hit her 6.7-Difficulty routine for 15.20.

Janine Berger won the vault gold medal over five-time Olympian Oksana Chusovitina. Both gymnasts vaulted layout Rudis, but Berger's second vault of double-twisting Tsukahara gave her the edge over Chusovitina's 1 1/2-twisting version.

Chusovitina, who turns 37 on Tuesday, celebrated early with the balance beam gold medal.

Men's all-around champion Hambüchen grabbed titles on floor exercise and high bar. Nguyen, the all-around runner-up, took still rings and parallel bars. Bronze medalist Philipp Boy won pommel horse, the weakest event for the German men.

Matthias Fahrig won the vault title with a Dragulescu and Tsukahara 2 1/2. Fahrig attempted a 6.7-D routine on floor exercise, but finished last after taking a lower score in execution (6.6).

The competition also serves as the first of two Olympic trials to decide Germany's teams to the upcoming Olympic Games, which begin July 27 in London. The second trials take place June 30 in Frankfurt.
