* REPORT ---: First Angelina Melnikova was still in front of  Mai MURAKAMI - then the rating correction (from D = 5.7 to D = 5.8) and so, after a successful protest, the ex-floor world champions of 2017 won gold again on her best apparaus, beating the Olympic third Melnikova from Russia, a barely visible decision in the hundredths range.
Bronze went to Leanne Wong from the USA. Japan's women crowned their upward development in recent years with 2x gold and 1x bronze as the most successful nation at these World Championships in their homeland!
