Their position did not shift after Russian athlete who fought under the neutral flag (Individual Neutral Athletes), Angelina Melnikova, won gold in the women's all-around number on Thursday, October 23, 2025, WIB night.
Melnikova came out as best with a total of 55,066 points, 100 points ahead of American gymnast Leanne Wong, who won silver, and 433 points clear of Chinese gymnast Qingying Zhang, who won bronze.

In the final match at the Indonesia Arena which was filled with spectators, Melnikova appeared consistent in three appARatus, namely vault, unfair bars, and floor exercise. He always got the second highest score in the three approaches.
Melnikova got the only unsatisfactory result in the balance beams, where she had fallen. In that number, Melnikova only won 12,800 points and was ranked ninth.
Leanne Wong, who got a silver medal, actually started the final with a hard time. The 22-year-old gymnast is in seventh place in the unaven bars, sixth in the floor exercise, and third in the balance beams.
He then poked up when appearing on the vault, which was his last tool. In the tool, Wong got 14,466 points, far more than the qualifying round, when he only got 11,733 points.
Unlike Melnikova, who had fallen on the balance beams, Qingying Zhang, who got bronze, recorded the highest score in the academics. The 18-year-old gymnast recorded 14,833 points.
After the women's all-around final, Russia, wearing a neutral flag, temporarily sits in second place in the standings with Melnikova's only gold medal.
Japan, which sits at the top, has so far only collected one gold medal through Daiki Hashimoto. China completed the top three with one silver medal and one bronze medal.
