Eddie Penev previews Worlds ’26 Vault

To start, both bemoan that Mahdi Olfati from Iran, at war with Trump, did not qualify to World Championships 2026 Rotterdam.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Eddie sees those gymnasts competing Kasamatsu vaults are getting deducted more recently due to common form deductions in the preflight.

  • Carlos Yulo (Philippines)
  • Artur Davtyan (Armenia)
  • Nazar Chepurnyi (Ukraine)

Those are the favourites. But others including Jake Jarman & Harry Hepworth (Great Britain) could potentially compete higher difficulty in the Final.

Eddie expects finalists from Russia, as well.

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,

Hengameh Hadiyani – Vault

Hengameh Hadiani became the first Iranian female gymnast to compete in the 2026 Asian Games since at least 1979. Congratulations to the nation at war with Trump for getting her to the Games.
