Individual all-around

In the men's all-around final, only two gymnasts per country can compete. Ryohei Kato and Shogo Nonomura of Japan, Lin Chaopan of China, Max Whitlock and Daniel Keatings of Great Britain, and Nikita Ignatyev of Russia were among those who had earned scores in the qualification round high enough to qualify for the individual all-around final, but could not compete due to the two-per-country rule. On October 8, Nile Wilson withdrew from the all-around final due to a wrist injury, and his teammate, Max Whitlock, competed in his place.^[3]^[4] On that day, it was also announced that Alexander Shatilov of Israel had pulled out of the competition and would be replaced by reserve athlete Ferhat Arıcan of Turkey.

Kōhei Uchimura of Japan once again made history by winning his fifth consecutive World all-around title.^[5]

Vault

Reigning Olympic and 2-time World champion Yang Hak-Seon failed to defend his title or even make the podium because he fell on both of his vaults. The 2007 World bronze medalist Ri Se-Gwang grabbed his first world title. Only Yang Hak-Seon and Ri Se-Gwang attempted two top 6.4 difficulty vaults with the former failing at both the Yang Hak Seon on vault and Tsukahara 3½, and latter succeeding in the Ri Se Gwang and Ri Se Gwang 2 on vault. Yang was trying to successfully complete the Tsukahara 3½ to become his second eponymous skill on men's vault, but since he fell on landing, his attempt was only credited for its difficulty score and not his name. Yang was the top qualifier, despite using two 6.0-difficulty vaults in qualifying before increasing them to two 6.4s in the final. Gwang used own 6.4s in all rounds. Shirai's lower difficulty of 5.6 of his second vault, which was also the only vault performed in the finals with a difficulty less than 6.0, was a contributor significant enough to miss him a spot on the podium here as he only trailed American Jacob Dalton in an average combined score by just 0.137, a deduction on landing equivalent to a small step.
