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.

Here’s how Félix felt after the competition.

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)

Full results.

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.
