PODCAST ➙ Manila Esposito interview

One of the best gymnasts in the world, Manila Esposito, has not ruled out adding Bars and going back to the all-around. Great news.

But she doesn’t yet feel ready for Bars in Rotterdam.

She is a two-time European all-around champion (2024, 2025), and has won European gold on beam (2024), floor (2024 and 2026), and with the team (2024 and 2025).

Manila is still only age-19.

‘THE EUROPEAN GYMNASTICS PODCAST EPISODE 8: HEADING TO FUNLAND’ IS OUT NOW!

In episode 8 of ‘The European Gymnastics Podcast’, Olly Hogben and Blythe Lawrence focus on the upcoming TeamGym European Championships in Espoo (FIN) and the World Championships in Artistic Gymnastics in Rotterdam (NED).  

Jade Carey for Olympics 2028

I’m surprised any selection would not want a proven, durable, experienced Olympic champion like Jade Carey on the Worlds team.

On the other hand, 2026 is a great chance for younger American gymnasts like Charleigh Bullock to get experience.

I’d ask Jade to be one of the top 2 Americans on Floor and Vault in 2027. Strong potential for Olympic medals in the USA.

That should be enough to get her on any Olympic team,
