What a long, boring, convoluted, needlessly complicated qualification system. I'm glad it's finally over.

 

Or is it?

According to FIG's documents, China can't choose which gymnast will qualify through the World Cup quota, but if China somehow is given the right to choose and decide to pick Weng Hao over You Hao, this will make things even more complicated.

For starters, :JPN will lose a quota. Then, the next qualifier in the parallel bars is :RUS Poliashov. I suspect Russia will decline this quota because it's better for them to just take the quota from the European Championships. However, if Russia takes this quota, then they will not allowed to qualify anyone through the European Championships and the quota instead goes to :ITA Nicola Bartolini. Now, if Russia declines the Apparatus World Cup quota, next in line would be :AUS Mitchell Morgan.

In the end, I believe China will have to take You Hao as a specialist no matter what and this will probably hurt the team's prospects because he was expected to compete in the parallel bars and rings. Liu Yang might make the team instead, but in a 4-person team he's not going to be very useful. Of course Yang could take the individual spot China got through the all-around World Cup series, but then Weng Hao would miss a real chance of a medal in the pommel horse. It's going to be a tough decision for China, but unfortunately it's the result of a very risky choice to skip the Doha World Cup entirely.

He tied Jean-wan, so it comes down to the average scores in all of the stages of the World Cup series. What we might have forgotten to add is that Jeah-wan scored 14.066 today and this pulled his average way down.

So, @MHSN, it looks like Saeid Reza Keikha has qualified to Tokyo!

Not All Stages!  If All stages, then that's not 15.334 for Petrounius! It's three counting exercises!

 

Criteria 5 - 2018/2019  2019/2020 Individual Apparatus World Cup Series

Each Apparatus

In case of a tie on the FIG Olympic Qualification Apparatus ranking list, the rank will be determined by the following criteria:

  1. The final score of the three counting exercises will be added and the gymnast with the highest total score prevails

  2. The total E-score of the three counting exercises (6 scores for Vault) will be added and the gymnast with the highest total E-score prevails

  3. If they remain tied, the total D-score of the three counting exercises (6 scores for Vault) will be added and the gymnast with the highest total D-score prevails

You're right! So that means 14.748 for Yonekura and 14.771 for Jeah-wan.

Now, how come the official event informed that Yonekura has qualified?

I think it's the editor of the account confused by the complicated rule. Let's just wait. By the way could you give me the link of that news.
