Fragapane, who contributed several outstanding scores during the team competition, qualified to the all-around final in first place. She landed slightly low on her DTY vault but earned a 14.733 (nearly 0.3 higher than her score in qualifications) to take second place behind teammate Harrold in the first rotation. She scored a 13.700 on bars but suffered a disappointing fall on her bhs-two-foot-layout acro series on balance beam, scoring a 12.966 and remaining in silver medal position by only 0.008 ahead of Ellie Black of Canada. As the last competitor of the day on floor, she posted an impressive 14.733 to outscore the rest of the field by nearly a full point and claim the gold medal with an all-around total of 56.132.
 

Harrold, who qualified in third to this all-around final, started off with a strong DTY vault that earned a 14.800 and put her in the lead. She built on this lead by performing beautifully during her unique bar routine to score a 14.566, by far the highest mark of the day on that event. She maintained the top spot by a margin of 0.141 after three rotations despite falling on a punch front on beam and scoring a 12.166. However, she was unable to hold on to the lead and finished with the silver medal and a total score of 55.232.
 

Fifth-place qualifier Hannah Whelan was in fifth place after her Yurchenko 1.5 earned a 14.065 on vault. A strong performance on balance beam earned her the top score on this event, and she sat in fourth place by less than 0.2 behind Black moving into the final rotation of the day. She performed second on the floor and scored a solid 13.500 to finish with a total of 54.699 and the bronze medal.
 

Ellie Black (CAN) had the second highest qualifying score for the final landed with straight legs and suffered minor form breaks on her Yurchenko 1.5 vault, but she managed a score of 14.3 for third place after one event. After a strong 13.758 on uneven bars and a 13.333 on the beam, she sat in bronze medal position heading into the final event. Some missteps on floor landed her in fourth place with a 12.766 on the event and a 54.157 total, just outside the podium.
 

Lizzie Beddoe (WAL) qualified to the final with the fourth highest score. She started off with a clean Yurchenko full for a score of 13.808 and tenth place. After an uneven bars score of 13.533, the fifth-highest of the day on that event, she had improved her standings and was in the top five. However, a fall on beam proved costly, as she earned only an 11.666 and dropped back to seventh place behind Georgina Hockenhull (WAL). She finished well on floor and ended in eighth place with a 52.540.
 

Olivia Vivian (AUS) ended up fifth with a 52.632, just ahead of Hockenhull with a 52.598 and Canada’s Isabela Onyshko with 52.565. Hockenhull finished sixth overall, while Onyshko took seventh place.
