In a heated battle, Jordyn Wieber of USA edged Viktoria Komova of Russia for the elusive World All Around title tonight in Tokyo. Wieber had an uncharacteristic error during her bar routine but came back with an excellent performance on balance beam and a dynamic floor routine. She and coach John Geddert were in disbelief when the final scores were posted. Wieber secured the gold medal by just 0.033 tenths of a point!

 

Yao Jinnan of China and Alexandra Raisman of the USA battled for the bronze medal. Raisman looked to be off the podium after trouble on uneven bars, but she battled back with very strong performances on beam and floor. Jinnan counted a fall on beam, but hit a difficult floor routine to earn the bronze medal.
