Worlds ’25 Apparatus Finals – day 1
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 But with 20 / 20 hindsight, she should have withdrawn and let the Reserve gymnast go.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.

Hits, Misses, Surprises – Mens World Gymnastics Championships 2025
One of the great analysis sites of Men’s Gymnastics is “Zhoxxyy”
Here’s a sample:
Jakarta 2025 Qualifications Review
For each of the events, the Hits, the Misses and the Surprises will be reviewed.
Floor
Jake Jarman (GBR): the bronze medalist at the 2024 Games totally delivered with a tough routine (and didn’t fall…)
Carlos Yulo (PHI): the Olympic champion nailed it again with his awesome execution. He may increase his D score in the final
Kameron Nelson (USA): 1st World Championships, 1st gymnast to include 2 triple backs in the same routine. It paid off
Minami Kazuki (JPN): 2X silver medalist on FX at WC, one of the best Japanese FX specialists
Milad Karimi (KAZ): regularly qualifies for FX finals and won bronze in Antwerp. Solid routine.
Luke Whitehouse (GBR): the 3X European Champion is the 2nd Brit in the final
Several gymnasts have reported difficulties with the Taishan floor podiums, noting that numerous athletes experienced falls, particularly during double fronts.
Harry Hepworth (GBR): he got luckier on rings; out of the three British FX guys, one was bound to trip up and miss the final (he fell after his double front)
Ray Zapata (ESP): the Tokyo silver medalist and Paris finalist had a bummer of a fall during his tuck double front, but his routine was pretty solid overall
Eddie & Kevin Penev (BUL): the Penev Brothers provide an enjoyable viewing experience; Kevin is the third reserve and Eddie attained a slightly lower score.
Tikumporn Suritornta (THA): I don’t think many people predicted the qualification of the 27 year old gymnast from Samut Sakhon in Thailand. Great surprise and great upset!
Krisztofer Mészáros (HUN): It’s kinda a surprise, but not really, since Titi is all about those floor podiums. Super cool to see him make it to the finals in Jakarta

Yulo looking at the AA for Jakarta
The defending Olympic Floor and Vault champion is not only concentrating on those two specialities.
“Right now I’m really focusing on doing All-Arounds at the same time doing Vault and Floor,” Yulo said in a recent interview with the FIG. …
… right now I’m really focusing on going to the LA Olympics,” Yulo said. Preparing for Los Angeles and the prestigious events leading up to it will take most of his time and attention for the next three years …
Already en route to LA28, Carlos Yulo hopes for a golden stopover at the Jakarta Worlds
