National Team Rankings – November 2017

9 Comments

How It Works
Taking into account all scores recorded at competitions in the last six months, each nation is given a team total based on how its best-scoring group of five senior gymnasts would do in a hypothetical 3-up, 3-count team final.

Each individual’s best scores may come from any official competition (they need not all be from the same meet), and whichever group of five gymnasts would produce the highest score is the one selected.

Countries that have not shown enough senior routines in the last six months to fill a 3-up, 3-count team on each event are not included.

Rankings will be updated on the 1st of each month, and scores will expire after six months in order to provide the most up-to-date snapshot of where nations are at the current moment. These current rankings include only scores from May 2017–October 2017.

Entering the rankings this month was Malta, while leaving the rankings were Azerbaijan and Bulgaria, temporarily without enough scores on each event in the last six months to put together a team.

Last month’s ranking is in parentheses.

It’s a bit strange that the current world champion wouldn’t be among the best-scoring US five, but across the nations you’ll see fewer score increases than perhaps would be expected after worlds because the scores at worlds were so much lower (particularly on beam) than in other competitions. Even those who had great meets weren’t recording season highs, so Morgan Hurd for instance does not have a top-3 score in the US on any apparatus in the last six months, despite being world champion.

Many nations, including the US, will see their scores decrease this month because the April scores from Jesolo and Euros have come off the rankings, the loss of Jesolo numbers accounting for some upheaval in the US group and the addition of Frazier.
3. (2) JAPAN – 172.900
Asuka Teramoto 15.000 14.000 14.400 13.766
Mai Murakami 14.700 13.900 14.350 14.800
Sae Miyakawa 15.100 11.600 10.550 14.100
Yuna Hiraiwa 13.850 11.150 14.200 13.850
Hitomi Hatakeda 14.150 14.500 13.400 13.300
172.900 44.800 42.400 42.950 42.750
One of the few who recorded a season high at worlds was Mai Murakami on bars during her fantastic qualification day, raising Japan’s total by a couple tenths.
4. (4) CHINA – 172.165
Wang Yan 14.500 13.400 14.133 13.800
Luo Huan 13.650 14.566 14.750 13.150
Liu Tingting 14.300 14.350 15.300 13.500
Mao Yi 14.367 13.700 13.000 13.433
Fan Yilin 0.000 15.166 13.567 11.467
172.165 43.167 44.082 44.183 40.733
China also received a slight boost from bars at worlds, with Fan Yilin improving on her 2017 best by a couple tenths in that title-winning performance.
5. (5) BRAZIL – 168.350
Rebeca Andrade 15.150 14.450 0.000 0.000
Flavia Saraiva 0.000 13.750 14.000 13.850
Thais Fidelis 14.100 12.800 14.000 14.200
Jade Barbosa 13.400 13.200 11.250 13.000
Daniele Hypolito 14.100 12.750 13.750 13.800
168.350 43.350 41.400 41.750 41.850
Brazil loses a few tenths this month with some useful scores from the currently injured Andrade and Saraiva coming off the rankings, though not enough to jeopardize the coveted fifth-place spot.
6. (6) FRANCE – 168.316
M De Jesus Dos Santos 14.500 14.500 14.100 13.250
Alison Lepin 13.700 14.550 12.866 12.750
Marine Boyer 13.950 13.200 14.900 13.600
Juliette Bossu 13.800 13.900 12.550 13.600
Coline Devillard 14.600 0.000 0.000 0.000
168.316 43.050 42.950 41.866 40.450
Qualification at worlds saw De Jesus Dos Santos record six-month highs on vault and bars, increasing France’s total despite Devillard’s vault scores fro Euros coming off the rankings.
7. (7) ROMANIA – 167.996
Catalina Ponor 0.000 0.000 14.600 14.133
Alexandra Mihai 13.750 0.000 12.967 12.433
Larisa Iordache 14.800 14.533 15.566 14.266
Laura Jurca 13.666 12.866 12.200 12.200
Ioana Crisan 13.666 13.000 13.766 13.050
167.996 42.216 40.399 43.932 41.449
Expect Romania to remain in a surprisingly solid position as along as those scores from Romanian nationals hang around. I typically remove those who have retired from the rankings, but with Ponor still planning to compete in a couple of meets and also being Ponor (you’ve retired like 15 times already…), I’m leaving her on for now.
8. (10) CANADA – 167.453
Isabela Onyshko 13.400 12.734 14.034 13.234
Shallon Olsen 14.800 12.750 12.700 13.133
Brittany Rogers 14.500 13.634 13.266 0.000
Rose Woo 14.050 13.567 13.634 13.100
Ellie Black 14.650 14.400 14.400 13.467
167.453 43.950 41.601 42.068 39.834
As has been the story for a few of these nations, a good bars score goes a long way, and Ellie Black’s 14.400 from qualification at worlds helped in increasing Canada’s total while many of the European nations dropped this month.
9. (9) GERMANY – 166.882
Kim Bui 13.600 14.233 12.600 13.050
Tabea Alt 14.500 14.200 13.533 12.933
Pauline Schaefer 14.100 13.050 14.150 13.350
Sarah Voss 13.750 11.750 14.100 13.150
Elisabeth Seitz 13.700 14.766 13.400 12.800
166.882 42.350 43.199 41.783 39.550
Germany lost a series of important floor scores from Euros, accounting for the drop in total scores despite a successful worlds. The Germans were the victim of having a great worlds on beam, where the scores were so much lower than any other meet that their accomplishments don’t show up here at all.
10. (11) ITALY – 166.482
Giada Grisetti 14.000 13.800 13.566 12.666
Desiree Carofiglio 14.050 12.700 13.300 13.750
Martina Maggio 14.800 14.050 13.850 13.400

11. (12) AUSTRALIA – 164.750
Emily Little 14.750 12.775 13.150 13.375
Rianna Mizzen 14.575 14.500 12.850 12.550
Georgia-Rose Brown 13.575 13.800 13.425 13.225
Georgia Godwin 13.775 13.500 12.666 13.425
Talia Folino 13.875 13.200 13.150 12.800
164.750 43.200 41.800 39.725 40.025
12. (7) GREAT BRITAIN – 164.198
Amy Tinkler 14.533 13.600 12.800 13.500
Phoebe Turner 14.333 10.900 11.600 12.650
Alice Kinsella 14.000 13.533 13.033 13.150
Georgia-Mae Fenton 0.000 14.533 12.500 12.250
Claudia Fragapane 0.000 12.900 13.250 13.933
164.198 42.866 41.666 39.083 40.583
The most unfortunate month belongs to the Brits. With the scores from Euros coming off, that means neither Downie has competed in the last six months, leaving GB quite depleted in terms of the scores that can be chosen. GB drops five ranking spots and four whole points without the Downie scores.
13. (13) BELGIUM – 163.531
Axelle Klinckaert 0.000 13.650 0.000 0.000
Nina Derwael 13.566 15.033 13.900 13.366
Maellyse Brassart 13.800 13.300 12.933 13.066
Rune Hermans 13.600 13.900 13.400 13.133
Dorien Motten 13.750 12.950 11.250 12.900
163.531 41.150 42.583 40.233 39.565
The bars success for Derwael (and Hermans, who increased her total by several tenths) at worlds was counteracted by Senna Deriks now having not competed in the last six months, meaning Belgium basically stays the same as an overall group.
14. (15) SPAIN – 162.081
Claudia Colom 13.650 13.150 13.150 12.900
Nora Fernandez 13.733 13.266 13.100 12.833
Ana Perez 14.600 13.833 13.833 13.700
Paula Raya 13.500 13.150 12.100 12.850
Cintia Rodriguez 12.933 13.133 12.900 13.166
162.081 41.983 40.249 40.083 39.766
15. (14) NETHERLANDS – 161.567
Eythora Thorsdottir 14.300 12.667 13.067 13.033
Sanne Wevers 0.000 13.800 14.100 0.000
Tisha Volleman 14.500 12.333 12.733 13.433
Naomi Visser 13.400 12.900 13.000 12.600
Elisabeth Geurts 14.167 12.500 12.200 12.033
161.567 42.967 39.367 40.167 39.066
The Netherlands could have used some big numbers at worlds with those Euros scores coming off, but with a not-100% Eythora and the Weverses not hitting well on beam, the Netherlands did not get those needed numbers. It was really only the big bars score from Sanne that keeps the Dutch afloat, and they’ll need some more Netherlandsy beam numbers in the coming months to get the ranking back into a more competitive zone.
16. (16) HUNGARY – 159.618
Zsofia Kovacs 14.600 14.734 14.000 13.067
Dorina Boczogo 13.600 11.267 11.600 12.900

Fabienne Studer 13.500 12.866 11.666 12.100
Thea Brogli 13.566 12.066 13.200 12.833
158.714 42.199 39.166 38.133 39.216
Steingruber’s continued improvements at worlds saw the Swiss increase their vault and floor scores by multiple points. This was undermined somewhat by Kaeslin’s early-year beam scores coming off the rankings, but Switzerland still ultimately saw a gain of 6 tenths over last month.
18. (18) MEXICO – 157.672
Nicolle Castro 14.000 13.050 12.566 13.100

Iceland saw a number of useful scores and gymnasts drop off the rankings this month, but some helpful results from the post-worlds Northern European Championships helped the team stay in vaguely the same zone.

Poland falls dramatically this month, having lost the bars score from Cal’s Alma Kuc (who has now not competed for Poland in the last six months). Not sending any gymnasts to worlds did not help the project.

With most of the Danish scores more than six months old, Denmark falls rather far this month. Very little besides the scores from worlds are available to be used, but to ensure that Denmark had enough routines, I added in a vaulter from the Faroe Islands, since the Faroes fall under the kingdom of Denmark and do not have their own designation in the FIG.

9 thoughts on “National Team Rankings – November 2017”

  1. I can’t wait for Simone Biles to come back and add to the USA totals, plus the new juniors coming up such as Maile O’Keefe and Emma Maluybo and a healthy Riley McCusker. The ranking of Russia as #1 is a little deceiving since their scores are way out of whack due to the home scoring in Russia. Once those scores come off, I believe they will fall to either #2 or #3. And Romania being ranked #7 is also a little deceiving since Larissa will be out for a while and Catalina being retired. I believe they will drop way down once their scores come off. What a surprise about Great Britain… it just shows that without the Downies they just don’t have much depth at all.

    1. Ponor actually just competed yesterday at the Arthur Grander Memorial meet in Switzerland! She competed all events minus UB. I honestly never take her retirement announcements serious.

    2. It’s shocking that the currently World Champion will have an uphill battle even making future World Championships. I’m so happy Morgan got her World AA Gold because that may have been her only opportunity at a Worlds or Olympics.

      1. I hope not… I love Morgan Hurd… I think she is so great. I wish her much continued success and hope she lasts to 2020. I think she will get even better… just hope she doesn’t have a career ending injury and doesn’t burn out.

      2. I think she has a minimum year or two in her, and i definitely think that she could potentially hold on for the olympics. However making worlds teams will remain her primary concern, especially when you factor in McCusker’s potential, Malabuyo, O’Keefe, Dunne, Wong and Sunisa Lee all becoming seniors in 2018 and 2019 (am I the only one who doesn’t see Gabby Perea making it?), the possible return of Biles and Raisman, and any random surprise gymnast bound to come out of nowhere since we still have another three years of the quad. Hurd could overcome all these gymnasts to make world teams if she continues on the upward trajectory that she’s had, but I’m not expecting another individual world title from her.

  2. Please…no more Raisman…. I want new gymnasts… she has already had her Olympic moment twice… let others compete! Retire please !! But, if she is one of the best in 2020, I guess you cannot deny her…

    1. I think that’s really quick to call. She only returned once so far, if she goes to Tokyo and then says that she isn’t done after that, then that would be an ok comparison to make.

  4. Bailie Key, Rebecca Bross, Katelyn Ohashi, etc.. The entire gymternet assumes that the 2020 Olympic team is Perea, O’Keefe + Malabuyo, but standout juniors don’t always make it to the Olympics/Worlds. Morgan Hurd seems to be on the incline and the confidence she picked up at World’s will only help her a la Gabby Douglas. Meanwhile the rising juniors may already be at their peaks…So glad we’re getting Junior Worlds for this reason.
