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.

Two super hard working Gymnastics pundits have created a work-in-progress online archive of MAG and WAG scores.

… 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. …
Interesting statistics from The Medal Count.
To explain this post: A gold is worth three points, silver is worth two points, and bronze is worth one point.
Only individual medals will be counted as to avoid punishing gymnasts who competed for nations that aren’t established WAG powers.
If there is a tie, both gymnasts get the full point total. For example Angelina Melnikova and Mai Murakami get one point each for sharing the bronze on floor at the 2021 Olympics.
This post counts all Olympics and World Championships from the 2020-2029 decade. Other points ranking can be found in the Data Hub.
| Rebeca Andrade | Brazil | 29 |
| Simone Biles | United States | 20 |
| Angelina Melnikova | Russia | 16 |
| Kaylia Nemour | Algeria | 10 |
| Jade Carey | United States | 8 |

Aside from the last minute decision of the Indonesian government NOT to allow Israeli passport holders to enter the country, 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships was an excellent competition.
I want to thank organizers and all the many, many volunteers for hosting a world class competition.
Without Simone, you might think the women’s competition a bit of a letdown. BUT Bars World Champion Kaylia Nemour has become the headline star already at age-18.
Sugihara Aiko (age-26) is our World Floor champion, not Simone Biles. And everyone is thrilled. She won bronze on Beam, as well, in likely the strongest Beam Final of all time. Only 2 falls.
It’s not all good news. The WAG Vault final was a disaster. And the AA Final was a mess.
Daiki Hashimoto is another Uchimura, winning his 3rd AA World title. The rivalry with Zhang Boheng makes for great sport.
Shinnosuke Oka should be co-equal challenging for the title. But he wasn’t near 100% in Jakarta, finishing fifth.
The singular highlight of Jakarta wasn’t Beam, but Men’s Vault. All agreed that it was the greatest final of all time.
Olympic Champion Carlos Yulo stuck one of the most difficult Vaults in the Code — with excellent form.

Some, including myself, would have preferred Russian gymnast were still banned from Jakarta. Great gymnasts, but more pressure on the murdering dictator-for-life would be worth the cost of leaving them home.
I heard of no direct conflict with the Ukrainian gymnasts, so that’s a positive.
Certainly FIG has made clear that they want the AIN athletes competing. Their argument is that sport should be as separate from politics as possible.

Maybe my favourite routine at Worlds. I love the false endings. Unique choreography. The whole package.
It was great in qualifications — but the Finals routine missed passage of dance.
I did hear that she was suffering from something, perhaps food poisoning.

Sadly, Denisa is in the middle of yet another Romanian team drama.
