Men’s Gymnastics competitions are fantastically competitive and exciting
Much more exciting than women’s, in comparison.
BUT very few of the general public understand much about the scores. Since we dropped the “perfect 10”, it’s not worth bothering to look at the number for most fans.
zhoxxyy simplifies it for us:
A tie. Camilo Vera and Ojima Nao.
I would have had Camilo in 2nd. There should have been a great gap in E-score.

Judges need be more discriminating — OR FIG WTC should devalue.

Two super hard working Gymnastics pundits have created a work-in-progress online archive of MAG and WAG scores.
Bookmark this tab:
… two versions are available for each chart, one filtered to FIG-sanctioned meets only and the other including all data.
Domestic bonuses have been removed whenever they can be identified.
All charts can be sorted by any column, ascending or descending, and there is a search bar on each page. …
I have very little faith in E-scores in 2025. Judges seem to mostly RANK the best gymnasts from a starting point around 8.1.
They can’t specifically justify their deductions in any objective way.
STILL ➙ these top scores are good performances.

… International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), … Fujitsu Limited, and Acer Medical Inc., which provides AI-powered medical image processing and preventive medicine, today announced a collaboration …
… smartphone app …
I attended the press conference and LIVE, real-time demonstration of the medical package.
Smart phone video ➙ wirelessly sent to a laptop ➙ analysis ➙ wirelessly sent to a monitor.
The DEMO we watched was analysis of gait. Preventive medicine. They want to analyze elderly patients standing, sitting, and walking—turning that into valuable clinical insights for the doctor.
I was impressed.
It seemed quick enough to be used in the Gym by a coach doing analysis. By the time the gymnast gets to the monitor, the data would be ready for display.
In Japan, Fujitsu has their software working for Golf Swing, Archery, Baseball, and other sports. Gymnastics is more complicated, of course.
Watanabe was asked WHEN we might see the Fujitsu software used in FIG competition regularly. He wouldn’t commit.
Personally, I need it more IN THE GYM for coaching analysis.
The software wouldn’t need to be anywhere near as perfected for that use. I’d want to compare my gymnast performance of Tkachev in training against Kate McDonald, for example. 😀
Those are all from an excellent wrap-up post:
