European Men’s JR Apparatus Finals RESULTS

Full results.

Floor

  1. Ruggeri Riccardo ITA 13.700
  2. Mazzola Pietro ITA 13.666
  3. Golovin Volodymyr UKR 13.166

Italy is looking strong for the coming years. Especially if Manrique Larduet is granted citizenship. They could be challenging GBR and USA.

Overall, I was disappointed in this final. Too many falls. Execution of Double Fronts mostly poor.

Pommel

🥇 1. Golovin Volodymyr UKR 13.900
🥈 2. Musaev Radmir WG2 13.833
🥈 2. Fawzi-Mccaffrey Zakaine GBR 13.833

An excellent final. None of these juniors are going to be competitive with the top seniors, however, any time soon.

Tie for silver.

Rings

  1. Musaev Radmir WG2 13.133
  2. Ruggeri Riccardo ITA 12.900
  3. Martinez David ESP 12.800

It’s normal for Juniors to not yet be able to show high level strength sequences. Men can keep gaining strength at least until age-30.

I couldn’t see any reason why Martinez’ coach stayed on the podium during the routine.

Vault

  1. Havrylchenko Valentyn UKR 13.616
  2. Wachter Samuel AUT 13.483
  3. Schumacher Ben SUI 13.466

Havrylchenko was miles ahead on difficulty. He can compete Senior Vault any time.

I was impressed by Robert Ward of Ireland (4th).

P Bars

  1. Chowdhury Uzair GBR 14.166
  2. Golovin Volodymyr UKR 14.000
  3. Atkins George GBR 13.733

Super strong Final. The top guys would be very competitive in Senior.

A great result for Great Britain.

H Bar

🥇 1. Rigon Ivan ITA 13.233
🥇 1. Soleban Sami NED 13.233
🥉 3. Smirnov Daniil WG2 13.133

Not a good Final.

Bad luck for several. Too many falls. Of course they all HIT to get into this Final.

Soleban already has competitive difficulty to compete senior. Remember the name. Another Flying Dutchman, perhaps.

Tie for gold.

This is the routine that impressed me most at USA Championships. And surprised me.

Ignore the score. But it’s still one of the best routines in the world in 2026.

Félix Dolci the biggest Gymnastics star at Commonwealths 2026. One of the biggest in all sports.

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.

Canada wins Men’s Commonwealth Games

  1. Canada 241.400
  2. England 238.250
  3. Australia 235.650

The Canucks sent 4 of their top seniors along with rookie Ethan Ikeda, son of famed National team legend Richard Ikeda.

Ethan did the AA for experience alongside Felix and William.

Félix Dolci was the top AA qualifier. New Drăgulescu Vault. A good result considering he took a long break this year in a reality TV show.

Full results.

Sadly, Gabriel Langton (ENG) was taken out on a stretcher after a fall on H Bar. He was the last minute replacement for Max Whitlock.
