- A four way tie with American Madison Kocian, Russians Daria Spiridonova, Viktoria Komova and Chinese Fan Yilin.
- All scored 15.366, with Fan having the highest difficulty score (here's a full breakdown).
- Apparently they played all the national anthems at the medal ceremony lol.
Viktoria Komova
Daria Spiridonova
Fan Yilin
Madison Kocian
Medal Ceremony
Gold: Maria Paseka
Silver: Hong Un Jong
Bronze: Simone Biles (basically, she only got bronze because her second vault has a lower value than Paseka's and HUJ's, so her average was lower).

She later made a facebook account and posted a correctly translated apology too, and then personally apologised to all the girls.

Sooooo, I know people aren't happy with the four-way tie, but I am, since I'm always sad when people get screwed out of ties lol. I know Madison was the weakest out of the four but judges see differently from viewers and tend to miss frontal errors (like leg separations) because they're (for some reason) sitting on the side when they judge, so all they catch are bad angles on handstands. Besides, even if I do find Komova's apology endearing I'm still glad she doesn't get a gold to herself lol. ALSO I HOPE PASEKA'S GOLD GIVES MCKAYLA MARONEY A COME TO JESUS MOMENT or else ISTG.
