World Gymnastics Championships 2025 Jakarta.
Gymnasts warm-up in the arena for Event Finals. This competition is LONG, of course, with only 1 routine at a time, so many go back to the training Gym to stay warmed-up.
Links to full results.
Floor
Superb Final. Huge difficulty. Really well done.
Vault
Terrible Final.
I expected Deng to medal. Warm-ups were strong. But she ran over the horse and got a zero on her first vault. Judges wouldn’t let her do a second.
Schönmaier tried upgrading to Cheng — but lost 2.0 for using only 1 hand.
16-year-old Lia-Monica Fontaine is the breakout star on Vault. Tons of potential here. And very good in the AA, as well. She’s destined to be on the Canadian team for years to come.
Pommels
Toughest final, in my opinion. Of the top routines, any could have been World Champion. Scores are that close.
Bars
After the awful Vault Final, Bars was one of the best ever. Fantastic performances.
In fact, the routine everyone will remember from Jakarta will be G.O.A.T. Kalyia Nemour hitting this set.

Skye hit her best Bars in some time. Ever?
Zoja Szekely did a good routine, but couldn’t land her dismount. I understand she was too injured from Vault the previous day. I admire her courage. But with 20 / 20 hindsight, she should have withdrawn and let the Reserve gymnast go.
Rings
Amazing Final. Superhuman strength.
Dismount landing critical.
This sets up Donnell for the coming quadrennial. USA can always use a top Ring man who can compete other apparatus, if needed. Along with Asher Hong, it would not be a weak event.
Zhang Boheng and Adem Asil are incredibly good at Rings for AA gymnasts.
