The Best Men’s International Scores in 2018

/ January 3, 2019

We’ve made it! We’ve done it! After covering 210 meets over the past twelve months, we’re super ready for a month-long nap before kicking off the 2019 season, but first we’re going to take a look at all of the top scores we saw this year, featuring international ONLY in this post (but don’t worry…we have another post that shares every score from domestic, friendly, and international meets).

A note on international meets…I am only taking into consideration those meets that operate at the highest standard in terms of meeting FIG qualifications. All FIG-sanctioned and continental meets are included, as are multi-sport games (like Commonwealth Games and the Central American & Caribbean Games), and top-rated invitationals.

The list of top all-around and event scores is below. 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, we only include juniors in the two-vault averages or D-score combos if they’re competing vaults from two different families, and 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.

    • Yup! He was so inconsistent all year and then just was absolutely ridiculously on fire. I wouldn’t have considered him a real medal threat for ANY EF, not compared to the specialists on those events. IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT HE GOT THREE EF MEDALS. Even more so than his AA gold, which also made my brain explode. What a worlds for him.
