WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 ended after four days of competition across 64 skills, bringing together about 1,400 young people from nearly 70 countries and regions.
Gold, silver and bronze medals went to the top performers in each field, while Medals for Excellence recognised world-class standards. China topped the medal table.
China’s Xiaoman He received the Albert Vidal Award for the highest overall score in Rail Vehicle Technology, a skill making its debut. The WorldSkills flag then passed to Japan, host of WorldSkills Aichi 2028.
