Manila Esposito – Floor

Manila always impresses me. STRONG tumbler. Great active flexibility. And memorable choreography.

The start of this routine shows real commitment to artistry.

Rotterdam Gymnastics Worlds ’26 Preview

Oct. 17 – 25.

The theme of these 54th World Championships is “Building Bridges”: the event transcends mere competition to celebrate unity among individuals, generations, and cultures. 

Recall last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, some government officials refused — last minute — to allow Israeli athletes to enter the country.

Most critically, this is the 1st qualification for the 2028 Olympics.

Three MAG and 3 WAG teams will qualify.

zhoxxyy posted a deep dive into that competition for men ➙ Rotterdam Gymnastics 2026: Guide to the World Championships

I’ll be reporting in person from Rotterdam. And I’m really looking forward to the competition having so much enjoyed being there at Worlds 2010.

Breanna Scott – Beam Gold at Commonwealths

Konnor McClain – Beam

One of these things is not like the others.

We should know the name of Judge 1. There is not enough accountability in judging. That’s a HUGE difference in a routine at this level.

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

Jordan Carroll 15.0 Pommel Gold

You might not know the name yet ➙ Jordan Carroll from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

But he’s yet another great Pommel specialist who could make a final at any level of competition. Very consistent.

Any score close to 15 raises the potential Canadian TEAM score a lot. I could see Canada bringing two Pommel guys to Worlds 2025.

Double Layout 1/2 out on Floor

The Biles is an impressive, smart skill. The main challenge is that landing facing forwards.
