Qiu Qiyuan – Bars

2023 World Bars champion Qiu Qiyuan is the gymnast with the best chance to defeat Kaylia Nemour in the Paris Olympics.

She’s upgraded difficulty in 2024.

That said — there’s much more potential for e-score deduction. Kaylia has no Giants, for example.

Fewer skills generally results in fewer deductions.
