✅ Context & Notes
The final was held during the 53rd edition of the championships in Jakarta.
Vault finals require two different vaults, and the score is the average of the two, plus any bonus (in this case bonus 0.20).
Melnikova’s win adds to her already distinguished career at world championships, showing her versatility across apparatuses.
Fontaine’s performance is particularly noteworthy as a first-time world finalist, stepping into vault final pressure and delivering a medal. Team Canada Olympians
The margins between the top three were not huge — just under half a point between gold and silver — underscoring how tight vault finals can be at this level.
A number of other finalists had solid performances but fell short of the podium. For example, Lisa Vaelen of Belgium scored 13.866 for 4th place.
