Background
editThe competitors at the event included the reigning co-World champions, Kateryna Serebrianska and Maria Petrova.[1]
Event format
editThe event used "new life" scoring, meaning that scores were not carried over from qualifications to the final round. 5 points were given for composition and 5 for execution for a maximum score of 10.0, though judges were instructed to avoid "perfect" scores and ties.[1]
Scoring controversies
editMultiple competitors, including fifth-place Maria Petrova, bronze medalist Olena Vitrychenko - the only gymnast to complete all 12 routines without dropping her apparatus - and gold medalist Kateryna Serebrianska expressed a belief that their scores were not based only on their performances but political favor with the judges. Of the thirty-seven competitors in the preliminary round, two earned exactly the same score for all four routines, and twenty-six more received scores within 0.10 points for each routine.[1]
Results
editIn the first round, there were thirty-seven competitors. From that thirty-seven, the highest scoring twenty would go on to the next round. From that twenty, the highest scoring ten would go on to the final round.
