Marks and ranks from vault qualification differ as two vaults were used to determine event finalists while only the first of those counts toward the All-around total.
Ariella Käslin qualified for the All-around final of the top 24 gymnasts because the number of finalists from the same nation is limited to two. Thus, five gymnasts ranked ahead of her were ineligible for the final.
