4. Eugen Spiridornov (GER) 86,800
5. Philipp Boy (GER) 86,550

There are a couple dozen men in the world who could score 90+ … if they hit.
Albert on THE ALL AROUND:
This is the third year for the Champions Trophy, and has been heralded as one of the few legitimate All Around competitions outside of World Championships, Olympics, and continental championships.
Next year it becomes part of the FIG’s newly re-organised World Cup series, featuring All Around competitions in Jacksonville, Glasgow, and Tokyo. It remains to be seen if the seemingly strict participation rules of these events will produce more high-level competitions, or further reduce the importance of the All Around.
This meet was hosted in conjunction with the DTB World Cup for men and women. FIG has highlights and links to results – Terrific atmosphere takes Stuttgart
The World Cup season comes to an end in Glasgow, November 19–20.
