The second Uchimura Kōhei domination

These are the rankings of male gymnasts who competed between 2013 and 2016; they include 4 competitions:
– 2013 World Championships
Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪
– 2014 World Championships
Nanning, China 🇨🇳
– 2015 World Championships
Glasgow, Great Britain 🇬🇧
– 2016 Olympic Games
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷
53 gymnasts won at least one medal at these World Championships or Olympic Games.

In order to adequately evaluate the significance of each medal in men’s gymnastics, a bonus system has been implemented. A bronze medal does not hold the same value as a gold medal, and the Olympic Games are esteemed as the preeminent event for any gymnast. Consequently, each medal possesses a distinct worth contingent upon the type of competition:

For example: a silver medal won on the Pommel Horse at Worlds is worth 2+1=3 points
A gold medal in the All Around at the Olympics is worth 3+2+2=7 points
