Félix Dolci the biggest Gymnastics star at Commonwealths 2026. One of the biggest in all sports.
Jordan Carroll 15.0 Pommel Gold
You might not know the name yet ➙ Jordan Carroll from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
But he’s yet another great Pommel specialist who could make a final at any level of competition. Very consistent.
Any score close to 15 raises the potential Canadian TEAM score a lot. I could see Canada bringing two Pommel guys to Worlds 2025.
Double Layout 1/2 out on Floor
The Biles is an impressive, smart skill. The main challenge is that landing facing forwards.

Félix Dolci – amazing comeback at Commonwealths
Félix is in great shape right now. BUT fell twice on Pommels to score 9.500 in the all-around final at the Commonwealth Games.
Disaster.
He ranked 17 / 18 after two events.
But this guy has character. He fought through the final 4 apparatus to finish silver in the AA. One of the great comebacks anyone can recall.
Never. Never give up.

Ellie Black – Commonwealth Games champion ’26
1) Ellie Black – 53.050 (CAN)
2) Breanna Scott – 52.900 (AUS)
3) Lia-Monica Fontaine – 52.800 (CAN)
Ellie Black, age-30, looking for her 5th Olympic Games in Los Angeles, is a legend.
Great athlete. But even more impressive as a positive role model and leader.
Ellie hit 8 / 8 so far in Glasgow. Consistency is one of her many, many strengths.
With Lia-Monica another very strong all-arounder, this may be Canada’s strongest Olympic team contender yet.
