The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has published the final rankings of the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup 2022.

The series consists of four stages – in Cottbus, Doha, Cairo and Baku. According to the results of each stage, the best three finals results of each gymnast or gymnast are included in the World Cup standings.

After all the competitions, the final ranking was presented to women (four disciplines) and men (six disciplines).

In women’s events, Ukrainians made it into the top 10 in three of the four disciplines, and won in two of them. We’re talking about 15-year-old World Cup debutant, Daniele Batrone, who has been the best at uneven bars and balance beams.

At the same time, it is worth noting that the results on the parallel bars will still be checked due to the scandal with Russian gymnast Ivan Kulyak, who came to the awards ceremony with the letter Z on his uniform. However, this will not affect Kovtun’s success in any way – the Ukrainian has the World Cup.

Nazar Chepurny also showed good results. The 19-year-old athlete finished second in the vault rankings, losing only to Armenian Artur Davtyan.
