Rotterdam Gymnastics Worlds ’26 Preview

Oct. 17 – 25.

The theme of these 54th World Championships is “Building Bridges”: the event transcends mere competition to celebrate unity among individuals, generations, and cultures. 

Recall last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, some government officials refused — last minute — to allow Israeli athletes to enter the country.

Most critically, this is the 1st qualification for the 2028 Olympics.

Three MAG and 3 WAG teams will qualify.
