Alt and Verniaiev’s performances in London assured their national federations the 2017 FIG World Cup series title in Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics. The winners of the World Cup series are determined by a points total based on athlete rankings at each of the three World Cup competitions. Verniaiev’s victories in Stuttgart and London, as well as a silver medal finish at the AT&T American Cup in March assured Ukraine would win on the men’s side.
Alt’s victories at the same meet, combined with Kim Bui’s fourth-place finish at the American Cup, lifted the Germans to the Women’s title. Additionally, the three top-ranked athletes in the All-around World Cup standings received prize money between 15-25,000 Swiss Francs.
