The top 24 individual all-around finishers were also determined by today’s competition, as there is no senior AA final. Leading the field by a 1.7 margin was Oleg Verniaiev of the Ukraine (88.590), followed by Andrey Likhovitskiy of Belarus (86.898) and the Netherlands’ Bart Deurloo (85.098). The all-around field was quite diverse, with the top 24 finishers coming from 23 different countries. The apparatus finalists were also selected based on the day’s results, with eight gymnasts competing for individual medals on Sunday, May 25th. A complete list of qualifiers is shown below.
