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.

Individual all-around

Only two athletes per country are allowed to compete in this event. The following athletes scored enough to qualify for the individual all-around final but did not compete due to the two-per-country rule: Mykayla Skinner of the United States (6th), Madison Kocian of the United States (14th), and Ekaterina Kramarenko of Russia (15th).

Simone Biles successfully defended her title. Larisa Iordache gave Romania its first medal of the 2014 Worlds with a silver. 2013 World all-around silver medalist Kyla Ross took the bronze. Russia's Aliya Mustafina placed fourth, not making the podium for only the second time in her senior career after falling on floor.

Vault

Reigning 2011 and 2013 World champion McKayla Maroney missed the competition to recover from a knee injury. She was the only 2013 World champion not to compete in Nanning. 2008 Olympic champion and 2013 World bronze medalist Hong Un-jong claimed her first world title on vault, the first North Korean World champion since Kim Gwang-Suk in 1991. Simone Biles claimed silver again as she did in 2013, and Mykayla Skinner grabbed her first individual medal, a bronze.

Uneven bars

Due to the two-per-country rule, Tan Jiaxin of China and Ekaterina Kramarenko of Russia were not able to compete in the final due to other members of their national team qualifying ahead of them. 2013 World champion Huang Huidan settled for the silver by 0.067 to her compatriot Yao Jinnan, who claimed her first World championship gold medal. 2014 European bronze medalist Daria Spiridonova grabbed another bronze at her first World Championships, edging out Ashton Locklear by 0.017.

Balance beam

Due to the two-per-country rule, Shang Chunsong and Huang Huidan of China were not able to compete in the final as they qualified behind teammates Yao Jinnan and Bai Yawen. 2013 World champion Aliya Mustafina of Russia had a hiccup in her routine and did not complete a required acrobatic series, and despite a 0.5 deduction, claimed the bronze over Asuka Teramoto of Japan by 0.066. 2013 World bronze medalist Simone Biles claimed her third gold medal of the competition on beam, 0.067 over silver medalist Bai Yawen of China.
