Kawakami Shohei
The elite season literally just started, but so far in 2025, we’ve covered 20 meets, seeing a total of 480 all-around performances, as well as 673 floor scores, 815 pommel horse scores, 685 rings scores, 753 vault scores, 693 parallel bars scores, and 764 high bar scores, in addition to 88 two-vault attempts that get averaged for an event final (or qualification into a final).
Below, find a list of the top all-around and event scores through February 28, as well as the top D scores for each event. An asterisk (*) next to the name denotes a junior or youth competitor, and I’ve removed bonus from all domestic meets to keep things as accurate as possible.
