Oleg Verniaiev is back, y’all
It’s October, and you know what that means…get in, bitches, we’re going to WORLDS!
September was a pretty period month overall and we didn’t see a ton of changes to our lists, but Manrique Larduet of Cuba jumped a couple of spots up the all-around rankings, while Andreas Toba of Germany moved onto the list for the first time this season thanks to an 84.950 at Bundesliga early in the month.
We also saw the return of Oleg Verniaiev in September, and although he didn’t enter a top score onto the charts, he fits in the D score lists with his 6.5 on pommel horse, a combined 11.2 on vault, and a 6.7 on p-bars, which is the second-highest D score of the year so far on this event.
Below, find a list of the top all-around and event scores thus far, as well as the top D scores for each event. An asterisk (*) next to the name denotes a junior competitor, and I’ve removed bonus from all domestic meets to keep things consistent. As a note, if a competition uses bonuses but their score sheets don’t differentiate those bonuses from the totals, we don’t include those scores in our database.
As a reminder, this is just a fun way to track the top range of scores in the all-around and on each event. Obviously every meet is scored at a different standard and it’s impossible to compare from meet to meet, but calm down — it’s nothing serious. We’re not predicting the next Olympic champion or electing the next leader of the free world. It’s just easier this way to see a range of scores that could be the goal gymnasts will be trying to reach at bigger international competitions.

I am wondering why there is no all-around score over 90 although the top score at every event is higher than 15 (even over 16 for pbars). Are the male gymnasts more specialists than all-arounders? Or is it just a coincidence, e.g., every all-arounder with the potential to reach 90 had at least one big mistake?

It’s getting more and more difficult to exceed 15 in all 6 events, especially in the new code of points. Even the best all-arounders like Kohei (who was injured) or Xiao Ruoteng and Lin Chaopan have rarely exceeded the 87 bar in international competitions since 2017. Kenzo Shirai can expect to get scores above 15 on FX and vault but he realistically won’t get more than 14 on PH or rings.
In the 2016 World Championship, Kohei won with 92 but in 2018, Xiao Ruoteng won with 86.9.
