I know nothing about gymnastics - is 409 points good/what’s the maximum possible score?

Isn’t the max score for women 200? Do men do more events or are there just more possible points?

Like in the FIG code, each individual gymnast’s score on an event is determined by combining the difficulty and execution scores calculated by the judges for each routine.

Each skill a gymnast performs has a value attached to it. These values are added together to comprise a gymnast’s difficulty score (d-score). On each event, with the exception of vault, the gymnasts perform 10 skills that counts toward their d-score. Gymnasts can also increase their d-score by performing certain skills in combination. There is no limit to how high a gymnast’s d-score can be.

On vault, since only one skill is performed, each vault has a predetermined value that the judges use as the d-score.

Execution scores (e-scores) start at 10.0 for each gymnast, and points are taken away for errors made by the gymnasts in their routines. Once the e-score is calculated, it is added with the d-score and a gymnast’s score for a routine is determined.

Example:

D-score = 5.5

E-score = 8.9

Total Score = 14.400
