mistakes happen – Tang Chia-Hung – H Bar

One of the very best to NOT make the apparatus Final in Jakarta.

In fact, none of the 4 medalists from the Paris Olympics qualified to the H Bar Final at Worlds 2025, a year later.

Anyone can miss. Kohei Uchimura fell. Simone Biles fell.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. I do love his Wally Whirl.

2025 Gymnastics Jr Worlds, Philippines

I’ll be attending the 2025 Junior World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Pasay near of Ninoy Aquino International Airport south of Manila.

It will be held in the Marriott Grand Ballroom at the Newport World Resorts.

Nov. 20 – 24, 2025.

This will be the 3rd.

2019 was in Győr, Hungary. 2023 was in Antalya, Turkey.

Hits, Misses, Surprises – Mens World Gymnastics Championships 2025

One of the great analysis sites of Men’s Gymnastics is “Zhoxxyy” 

Here’s a sample:

Jakarta 2025 Qualifications Review

For each of the events, the Hits, the Misses and the Surprises will be reviewed.

Floor

Jake Jarman (GBR): the bronze medalist at the 2024 Games totally delivered with a tough routine (and didn’t fall…)
Carlos Yulo (PHI): the Olympic champion nailed it again with his awesome execution. He may increase his D score in the final
Kameron Nelson (USA): 1st World Championships, 1st gymnast to include 2 triple backs in the same routine. It paid off
Minami Kazuki (JPN): 2X silver medalist on FX at WC, one of the best Japanese FX specialists
Milad Karimi (KAZ): regularly qualifies for FX finals and won bronze in Antwerp. Solid routine.
Luke Whitehouse (GBR): the 3X European Champion is the 2nd Brit in the final

Jakarta 2025 Qualifications Misses Dog

Several gymnasts have reported difficulties with the Taishan floor podiums, noting that numerous athletes experienced falls, particularly during double fronts.
Harry Hepworth (GBR): he got luckier on rings; out of the three British FX guys, one was bound to trip up and miss the final (he fell after his double front)
Ray Zapata (ESP): the Tokyo silver medalist and Paris finalist had a bummer of a fall during his tuck double front, but his routine was pretty solid overall
Eddie & Kevin Penev (BUL): the Penev Brothers provide an enjoyable viewing experience; Kevin is the third reserve and Eddie attained a slightly lower score.

Jakarta 2025 Qualifications Surprises Dog 6

Tikumporn Suritornta (THA): I don’t think many people predicted the qualification of the 27 year old gymnast from Samut Sakhon in Thailand. Great surprise and great upset!
Krisztofer Mészáros (HUN): It’s kinda a surprise, but not really, since Titi is all about those floor podiums. Super cool to see him make it to the finals in Jakarta

Read the rest …

Jakarta 2025 Qualifications: Hits, Misses, & Surprises


Kaliya short handstands

Greatest Bars all time. Not over-scored.

BUT most of her straight body Cast Handstands should be deducted.

I’d recommend she use Straddle Cast instead, for one or more. Less chance of deduction.

Via the very controversial GymTruthTeller.

Kaia Tanskanen – Floor

So powerful.

Women’s FINALISTS – World Gymnastics Championships 2025 Jakarta
