Four-way tie for gold medal at World Gymnastics Championships

Four women tied for the gold medal(s) in the World Championships uneven bars final on Saturday.

American Madison Kocian, Russians Viktoria Komova and Daria Spiridonova and China’s Fan Yilin all scored 15.366 points in Glasgow, Scotland.

It’s the first four-way tie in women’s gymnastics history, according to the International Gymnastics Federation. It happened for the men on still rings in 1913 and 1922, according to Olympic stats guru Hilary Evans.

Ties are broken at the Olympics, but not in this case at the World Championships.
