All three countries won two gold medals. China and Japan ranked above Armenia because each also won a silver; China’s bronze then placed it ahead of Japan.
Armenia’s third place was in the medal standings, not the separate team all-around competition. Japan won that event, which combines a team’s performances across the apparatus.
| Gymnast | Medal | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Artur Davtyan (Armenia) | Gold | 14.850 |
| Jake Jarman (Britain) | Silver | 14.650 |
Jarman became the first British male gymnast to win two individual medals at one World Championships, adding vault silver on 25 October to his floor silver from 24 October. The 24-year-old had five world medals overall.
I’ve had to adapt at these championships, competing all-around and then apparatus alongside the team goals, so I’ve learnt a lot.
American Claire Pease, 17, won women’s floor gold on 25 October. France’s Maiana Prat took bronze ahead of Britain’s Abigail Martin after both finished with the same total score. Prat’s higher execution score—the mark for how well a routine is performed—broke the tie, leaving Martin fourth.
| Gymnast | Place | Total score | Execution score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maiana Prat (France) | 3rd | 13.466 | 7.866 |
| Abigail Martin (Britain) | 4th | 13.466 | 7.666 |
On 24 October, Frederick Richard, 22, won his first world title, becoming the first American man to win world floor gold since Paul Hamm shared the title in 2003. Rebeca Andrade won her third world vault title. Pease earned her first individual world medal, while Skye Blakely added vault bronze to her all-around gold from 23 October. The all-around combines performances across the apparatus.

Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour, 19, retained her uneven-bars world title on 24 October, having entered as the defending world and Olympic champion.
