At the 2014 Tokyo World Cup, Kohei Uchimura‘s total D score was a 38.6. That’s 0.5 harder than his routines at the 2013 World Championships.

1. Kohei Uchimura Japan 92.898 Tokyo World Cup
2. Fabian Hambuechen Germany 90.231 Tokyo World Cup
3. Sam Mikulak USA 90.098 American Cup

Floor – Kenzo Shirai Japan 7.4 Doha
Pommel – Max Whitlock Great Britain 7.4 British Championships
Rings – Aleksandr Balandin Russia 7.0 Cottbus
Vault – Denis Ablyazin Russia 6.1 (average) Cottbus
H Bar – Epke Zonderland Netherlands 7.2 Doha

Men’s UTRS: The Best Scores of 2014 Updated April 6

From these numbers, it looks a mistake for FIG MTC to have dropped the D-score on vaults 1.0.

No doubt the AVERAGE vault score is still higher than the average on any other apparatus, so it may be in line.

P Bars:
Daniel Keatings Great Britain 6.9 British Championships
Oleg Verniaiev Ukraine 6.9 Cottbus
Jossimar Calvo Moreno Colombia 6.9 South American Games

Leave a comment if you know of an earlier triple in ANY competition prior to Kozlova.

Fabian feels this is his best FX routine yet.
