Senior men’s all-around standings after night one of two.
Hong is one of four men, along with Donnell Whittenburg, Colt Walker and Kameron Nelson, in position to secure automatic spots for October’s World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia.
That’s because Hong, Whittenburg, Walker and Nelson posted leading scores on vault, still rings, parallel bars and floor exercise, respectively, with difficulty scores at least matching the best put up at the Asian and European Championships in the spring.

Sadly, Jade won’t be competing at USAG Nationals 2025.
Always the best tumbler, Jade evolved into quite an artistic gymnast during her College years.

The FIG MTC attempt to improve Gymnastics Floor Exercise by requiring a scale is one of the most hilariously ill conceived concepts yet.
But this new requirement I do like.
Instead of simply taking a step into the corner, gymnasts must have some kind of style.

Whose dumb idea was that, anyway? 😀
This from the FIG Men’s Artistic Gymnastics NEWSLETTER – N° 01 – August 2025
The TC conducted a review of the Code of Points following the Worlds Cups series and various Continental Championships. The one area that has received consistently negative feedback was the requirement for the gymnast to include a one leg balance in his floor routine.
The original vision for Floor was to mix acrobatic elements together with other gymnastic elements such as strength, balance, flexibility, handstands, and choreographic combinations, all forming a harmonious rhythmic exercise. The balance, in isolation, was never intended to be the only change that would lead to the full scope of the floor and move us away from endless tumbling passes.
Allowing a gymnast to choose skills that lend themselves to his favoured ability, whilst at the same time encouraging choreographic combinations that show harmonious rhythm between tumble passes, will ultimately improve the overall balance and appeal of the floor exercise.
Therefore, the gymnast must show either a one leg balance or a jump/leap with or without turn from the list of specific elements. The balance or jump/leap may be outside the counting 8 elements. A 0.3 neutral deduction will be taken by the D Jury if this requirement is not fulfilled. The list of allowable jumps or leaps, which all have a minimum of A value are as follows (See Appendix for illustrations):
a. I.67 Jump bwd. to front support
b. I.68 Jump bwd. with pike-stretch or with 1/1 turn to front support
c. I.74 Butterfly with 1/1 twist fwd. or bwd.
d. I.75 Butterfly with 2/1 twist
e. I.15 Jump fwd. with 1/1 turn to front support
f. I.16 Jump bwd. with 3/2 twist to front support
g. I.17 Jump fwd. with 2/1 twist to front support
h. I.43 Jump fwd. with ½ turn to momentary handstand
i. II.8 Dive roll with 1/1 twist
j. I.73 Stag Leap with 1/1 turn
