2025 World Championships | Women’s BEAM Finals – Top 3 Scores
Here’s a detailed look at the top-3 results from the Women’s Balance Beam Final at the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta:
🥇 Gold – Zhang Qingying (China)
Zhang claimed the world title on balance beam with a 15.166.
Detail:
Difficulty (D-score): 6.900
Execution (E-score): 8.266
Her routine stood out for combining very high difficulty with clean execution, allowing her to separate herself from the competition.
🥈 Silver – Kaylia Nemour (Algeria)
Nemour secured silver with a 14.300 score.
Detail:
Difficulty (D-score): 6.200
Execution (E-score): 8.100
Notably, she made a strategic downgrade: after attempting a more difficult “wolf” turn earlier in the competition (qualifiers & all-around), she reduced its difficulty in the final (from 2.0 to 1.0 risk) to prioritize stability. This adjustment paid off — she delivered a strong, confident routine under pressure.
🥉 Bronze – Aiko Sugihara (Japan)
Sugihara took bronze with a 14.166.
Difficulty (D-score): 6.000
Execution (E-score): 8.166
At 26 years old, this was a big moment for her — she demonstrated lovely rhythm, control, and consistency to reach the podium.
✅ Context & Notes
The final took place during the 53rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Zhang’s win is especially significant — her 6.9 difficulty is among the highest in the final, and her execution was superb.
Nemour’s decision to downgrade a risky element shows how strategy can pay off — she traded a harder move for cleaner performance and placed second.
