Gaps Between Qualifications and Finals

The 2025 Paris Cup Men’s Gymnastics Results show significant changes in the rankings noted between the qualification rounds and the event finals. While 11 of the 18 medalists in the finals were ranked within the top three during the qualification phase, several unexpected outcomes and surprises occurred.

– Floor: well, no major change on this apparatus; the top 3 in qualifications ended up winning gold, silver and bronze in the same order…

– Pommel Horse: Olympic Silver medalist Nariman Kurbanov (KAZ) improved his execution score and snatched the gold medal, whereas European Champion Hamlet Manukyan (ARM) advanced from sixth to second place.

– Rings: Olympic finalist Glen Cuyle (BEL) improved his score by 0.533, surpassing Kaneta Kiichi (JPN), who also raised his score by two-tenths. Glen’s twin brother, Nicola, enhanced his total score by 0.366; however, he was unable to surpass the three medalists, all of whom performed better in the final.

– Vault: Thomas Grasso (ITA) maintained his leading position notwithstanding a slight reduction in points, while Tseng Wei-Sheng (TPE) and Sebastian Sponevik (NOR) advanced from fifth and sixth places, respectively, to secure the silver and bronze medals.

– Parallel Bars: All gymnasts, with the exception of gold medalist Joe Fraser (GBR), experienced a decline in their scores between QX and the final. However, Florian Langenegger (SUI), who was ranked eighth in the qualifications, exhibited remarkable consistency by losing only two tenths and advanced from 8th place to secure the bronze medal.

– High Bar: Carlo Macchini exhibited a high level performance, ultimately securing the gold medal, surpassing Kévin Carvahlo (FRA) and Tang Chia-hung (TPE), who had previously earned bronze in this event at last year’s Olympics despite experiencing a fall too. Notably, Tang Chia-hung’s difficulty score is remarkably high (6.7), such that even a fall, which incurs a one-point penalty, is insufficient to eliminate him from medal consideration.
