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.
