Worlds ’25 Apparatus Finals – day 2

World Gymnastics Championships 2025 Jakarta. 

Gymnasts warm-up in the arena for Event Finals. Some did a lot. Some very little. Each has their own strategy.

Links to full results.

Vault

Without question, the greatest Men’s VAULT Final in history.

After our Olympic Champ Yulo delivered near perfection on his 1st vault, we thought the legend Davtyan couldn’t catch him due to lower difficulty. BUT it nearly happened. What a rivalry!

Beam

That might be the greatest BEAM Final in history. It’s so often been a disaster.

Following the Beam Final, FIG posted Ellie Black’s Fair Play Award from the Paris Olympics. Everyone loves Ellie, in good position to qualify for her 5th Olympics.

Her Beam was fantastic, by the way.

P Bars

LEGEND. G.O.A.T.

Floor

Thrilled Sigihara Aiko at age-26 is World Champion. Gold on Floor, Bronze on Beam.

I was disappointed for Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, finishing 4th. Fantastic tumbling.

Ruby and Abigail are great on Floor, as are their GBR male teammates.

H Bar

A super strong field of competitors. But there were 2 falls and a number of bent elbow errors.

Brody is World Champion for the second time. Recall he only barely qualified for the Final.

We can argue Brody v Daiki for Gold. But Brody does have 0.2 higher difficulty.

I was happy to see Joe finish Bronze rather than 4th. That was a good set with BIG Triple Pike dismount
