It’s happening! (I think. Now. Yeah? Yeah.) The individual world championships are upon us, kicking off with men’s qualification on Sunday.
Countries may send a maximum of six men and four women, putting up a maximum of three athletes on any single apparatus in qualification, aiming to qualify to the all-around and event finals. There is no team competition.
So, here’s what’s up for women’s qualification. (*Segments are accordion style, so you can minimize what you don’t need. Projected start lists are just me prognosticating, so don’t come crying etc.)

Subdivision 1 Bios
| Aliyeva, Daniz | Azerbaijan |
| First-year senior Aliyeva makes her world championship debut in Jakarta. She competed at 6 world cup events this year, reaching the vault finals in Baku and Cottbus with a Yurchenko full and Tsukahara layout. Her most difficult elements include a Van Leeuwen on bars and a front tuck mount on beam. | |
| Bohle, Leni | Austria |
| Bohle made her first major international all-around final at this year’s European championship, placing 21st overall and 11th on floor thanks to her high double pike. This will be her second appearance at a world championship after competing the all-around in team qualification in 2023. | |
| Cedeño, Alejandra | Venezuela |
| The 18-year old Cedeño will compete for the first time outside of South America at this year’s world championship. She represented Venezuela at the 2024 Pan-American championship, contributing counting scores for the team total of 12.533 on vault and 11.367 on floor. | |
| Heron, Hillary | Panama |
| Heron made history at the Cairo World Cup in 2024, becoming the first Panamanian gymnast to have an eponymous skill, the F-valued full-in, 1/2-out on floor. On vault, Heron performs a handspring rudi vault that saw her place 14that the Paris Olympics on the event, where she owns two career Pan Am silvers. | |
| Kishi Rina | Japan |
| Kishi comes to her second world championship on the heels of reaching the Olympic floor final in 2024, where she placed 7th with the aid of a Silivas. She is one of just two qualifiers to the Olympic floor final returning for this year’s world championship. Kishi has never not placed 11th in the all-around at a major competition, doing so at both Antwerp 2023 and Paris 2024. | |
| Mörz, Charlize | Austria |
| Mörz was Austria’s lone artistic gymnastics representative at the Paris Olympics, securing her spot by winning the 2024 apparatus world cup series on floor. She is one of just five athletes in this year’s world championship field to have competed a difficulty of 6+ on floor in 2025, showing a DLO 1/1, DLO, and quad turn. | |
| Nakamura Haruka | Japan |
| Nakamura has two distinctions on bars among this year’s worlds field—she is the eponymous owner of the piked Deltchev and is the only gymnast currently competing the G-rated Def/Hristakieva. Nakamura won all-around silver at this year’s Asian Championship behind teammate Sugihara and reached the Olympic all-around final in 2024. | |
| Navas, Karla | Panama |
| The 2025 Pan-American championships brought Navas a third vault gold in four years, performing a round-off 1/2 on, front full and a Yurchenko 1.5 to record what was (at the time) the top vault average in the world this year. Navas placed 16th on vault at two separate world championships, Liverpool 2022 and Antwerp 2023. | |
| Okamura Mana | Japan |
| While Okamura is primarily known as a beam gymnast, she only missed the Olympic all-around final by virtue of 2-per-country and is one of two members of the Japanese squad with an eponymous bars skill—the 1/2 in double pike dismount from L grip. As for beam, Okamura placed 13th there in Paris and is the reigning Asian Games champion from her 2023 title. | |
| Sugihara Aiko | Japan |
| The 2025 season has been the second coming of a career year for Sugihara, winning the Asian championship all-around title 10 years after her first victory in 2015. Her best world championship came at Montreal 2017, when she placed 6th in the all-around and got the double Y turn on beam named after herself. Sugihara has the 2025 distinction of being the only gymnast thus far to have scored 14+ on floor outside of her home country. | |
| Veerman, Sanna | Netherlands |
| A staple of Dutch teams, Veerman comes to her fourth world championship enjoying a streak of world bars finals, having made the final eight at both Liverpool 2022 and Antwerp 2023, placing 5th and 6th respectively. Veerman was third reserve for the Olympic bars final in Paris, when she performed the E + E Seitz/Bhardwaj combination. | |
| Visser, Naomi | Netherlands |
| Now one of the championship’s most experienced gymnasts, Visser comes to her sixth consecutive world championship with a wealth of finals appearances on her résumé. At the world championship, she has competed in five all-around finals, two team finals, two bars finals, and two floor finals. Still seeking that elusive medal, she placed as high as 5th on bars at Kitakyushu 2021. | |
| Wutschka, Aurea | Austria |
| It’s a world championship debut for Wutschka, who has appeared on Austria‘s team at each of the last two European championships. Known primarily for her expressive performance on floor, Wutschka’s FX 12.500 at the 2025 Euros was second on Austria’s team behind Charlize Mörz. | |

Hwang enters this year’s worlds as one of the top favorites for a beam medal. | |
| Kuusikko, Maisa | Finland |
| Already one of the most accomplished gymnasts in Finnish women’s history, Kuusikko enters just her third world championship looking to break some of her own records: her 13th-place all-around finish in 2022 is the best ever Finnish finish. Kuusikko also advanced to her first career European event final this year, ultimately finishing 4th on bars with a 13.600. | |

Subdivision 3 Bios
| Aripova, Dildora | Uzbekistan |
| As Uzbekistan’s top gymnast (non-Chusovitina category), the 21-year-old Aripova has 4 Asian championship event finals and 11 world cup event finals to her name, crowned by a floor gold from Varna in 2021. A floor routine featuring three D tumbling passes continues to deliver her strongest scores. | |
| Chao Pin Yen | Taiwan |
| Called into the squad following the injury to Liao Yi Chen, Chao will have an opportunity to show off the beam work that earned her a junior Asian championship bronze medal in 2023. Beam is the specialty for Chao, who scored an impressive 12.900 at the Antalya world cup in 2024 with a routine featuring a standout side aerial + back tuck + back handspring triple series. | |
| Diaz, Fabiola | Peru |
| Diaz returns to the world championship in 2025 after a 6-year absence, having appeared at Stuttgart 2019 as a first-year senior but competing only continentally in the intervening period. At the 2024 Pac Rims in Colombia, Diaz reached the beam final and finished 5th with a 12.400 | |
| Goh, Emma | Singapore |
| A late replacement for Colleen Hong on this year’s worlds roster, Goh nonetheless already has experience as part of the Singapore team. She made her senior international debut in June at the Asian championship along with the other members of Singapore’s worlds squad, stepping in on beam and delivering an 11.866 in the team competition. | |
| Hamidi, Sihem | Algeria |
| At the age of 22, Hamidi is entering her first world championship. This year in Cairo, she made her second career world cup event final and first in three years, placing 8th on vault with a handspring front pike and Tsukahara back layout. | |
| Lai Pin Ju | Taiwan |
| Among the most experienced competitors on the entire worlds roster, Lai is heading to her sixth world championship. She is predominantly known for beam, where she currently competes a standout switch + front aerial mount combination, and has reached four career beam finals at the Asian championship, winning bronze on her debut in 2017. | |
| Mendez, Ana Karina | Peru |
| The veteran of this year’s Peruvian squad, Mendez has been to the world championship three previous times in her 10-year senior career. Her best prior result came at Doha 2018 when she finished 21st on vault with a handspring pike 1/2 and Yurchenko full. | |
| Nemour, Kaylia | Algeria |
| Nemour comes to this year’s world championship as the only competitor with an individual Olympic gold medal to her name following her uneven bars triumph in Paris. She is also the top athlete from the Paris all-around final to return to competition in Jakarta thanks to her 5th-place finish there, as well as the defending world silver medalist on bars from Antwerp 2023. | |
| Roda, Luana | Peru |
| As a second-year senior, Roda will be making her first competitive appearance outside of south or central America at this year’s world championship. Her 12.000 on vault in qualification was Peru’s top score on that event at this year’s Pan-American championship. | |
| Schäfer, Jesenia | Germany |
| Schäfer enters this year’s world championship as one of the youngest competitors in the field (she won’t yet have turned 16 by the time the competition ends), but she does have some international experience to her name. She competed at the 2024 junior European championship and in 2025, she advanced to the vault final in Jesolo with a Yurchenko full and handspring front pike. | |
| Schönmaier, Karina | Germany |
| In the absence of the well-known German stars, Schönmaier has emerged as the leader of the squad in 2025, winning her first major international medals with two European golds—vault and mixed team. With another vault gold in Jesolo and a silver at the Paris world cup, she has established herself as a vault contender this year with her Yurchenko double full and Lopez. | |
| Stöhr, Silja | Germany |
| Stöhr will add herself to the debut class at this year’s world championship, though she has an experience leg up on most of the others as she did compete in the 2023 junior world championship in Türkiye and already has two European championship showings to her name. On bars, she delivers the D score with an opening Maloney + Hindorff combination. | |
| Tan, Alena | Singapore |
| On her senior debut at this year’s Asian Championship, Tan proved an integral part of Singapore’s 7th-place finish, contributing counting scores for the team total on all three of the events she competed: vault, bars, and floor. | |
| Ting Hua Tien | Taiwan |
| One of the most prominent gymnasts in the history of Taiwan’s women’s team, Ting owns an Asian championship beam gold medal from 2019 and has appeared at two Olympics and five previous world championships—her best result coming in 2018 when she was a reserve for the beam final. She also owns an eponymous floor skill, the split leap to ring with 1/2 turn. | |
| Wu Sing Fen | Taiwan |
| Wu will make her fourth appearance on a Taiwanese world championship team in 2025. Typically counted on to deliver a critical vault score for the team, Wu’s Tsukahara layout full garnered Taiwan’s top vault number at both the 2018 and 2022 worlds, and the same was true at this year’s University Games with her 13.000, the only routine she competed. | |
| Yap, Amanda | Singapore |
| The youngest member of a young team, Amanda Yap nonetheless comes to her first world championship with medals from her junior career, taking the junior Asian championship silver on beam in 2024. As a senior, Yap delivered Singapore’s top vault score at this year’s Asian championship to go along with a top-20 finish on beam. | |
| Yap, Emma | Singapore |
| The lone member of Singapore’s team with worlds experience, Emma Yap finished 71st on beam at Antwerp 2023 (showing six D-rated elements in her counting eight) and has also represented Singapore at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. This year, she recorded Singapore’s top performance at the Asian championship with a 10th place result in the all-around. | |
| Yusufova, Shakhinabonu | Uzbekistan |
| In her first season of competition, Yusufova has racked up vault final appearances, reaching the last 8 at the Asian Championship and the Tashkent World Cup, where she earned a bronze medal with the popular Yurchenko full and handspring pike 1/2 duo. | |

Subdivision 4 Bios
| Amankwaah, Shantae-Eve | Great Britain |
| First-year senior Amankwaah established herself as a standout junior in 2024, reaching the event finals on bars and floor at the junior European championship, finishing 5th and 6th respectively. Amankwaah is most known for her engaging floor performance and elegant forward and backward Stalder work on bars. | |
| Blakely, Skye | United States |
| Blakely returns to the world championship for the third consecutive time, having won gold as part of the US team at both Liverpool 2022 and Antwerp 2023. Individually, she advanced to the beam final at Liverpool 2022, placing 5th, and will be aiming to make the bars and beam finals in 2025 as an event specialist. | |
| Brown, Georgia-Rose | New Zealand |
| A five-time world championship competitor representing Australia, Brown now heads to her first world championship representing New Zealand. As a Kiwi, she also competed at the Paris Olympics, ending up as a reserve for the all-around final and ranking 26th on bars. At the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Brown won silver on beam behind Alice Kinsella, one of six medals for the Australian women’s team at those games. | |
| Caylor, Dulcy | United States |
| Caylor will make her world championship debut in 2025 after automatically securing her spot on the US team by winning the all-around at the team trial with a career high 55.250. Earlier this year, Caylor won Pan-American gold as part of the US team, competing a Yurchenko double full in the team final on vault, the event that typically produces her highest score. | |
| Drobniak, Maria | Poland |
| A second-year senior, Drobniak made her mark on floor this year by advancing to two world cup event finals in Cottbus and Koper. Her E-valued full-in on floor helps her to a difficulty score over 5, which provides an advantage over the many athletes in the high 4s. | |
| Evans, Ruby | Great Britain |
| Now the most experienced member of a new-look British team, Evans comes to the world championship as a two-time European medalist, winning silver with the mixed team in 2025 and the women’s team in 2024. With an Amanar in her pocket, she could deliver one of the top vault scores of the championship. | |
| Korent, Tijana | Croatia |
| A staple of the world cup circuit for decades, the 36-year-old vault specialist Korent is nonetheless heading to just her third career world championship—and first in 14 years. She last competed at worlds at Tokyo 2011 (as Tijana Tkalcec), when she placed 18th on vault, and made her worlds debut the very same year as the open-ended code, at Aarhus 2006. | |
| Leat, Alia | Great Britain |
| A veteran of domestic competition, the 20-year-old Leat has seen a year of firsts in 2025. She made her first European championship team for Great Britain in the spring and her first world cup event final in Szombathely in September. Typically strongest on beam, Leat will look to show off her superior flexibility in ring elements and connected leaps to rack up a high D score. | |
| Martin, Abigail | Great Britain |
| As the then-brand-new member of the British Olympic squad in Paris, Martin delivered a hit floor routine in the team final to establish herself as key to GB’s future prospects. In 2025, Martin notched her first world cup gold on vault in Paris, showing a Yurchenko double full and Lopez, but her AA victory at the British worlds trial could also signal a transition from power specialist to all-arounder. | |
| McDonald, Jun | New Zealand |
| McDonald heads to her first world championship this year but has three years of experience representing New Zealand internationally, having competed at the 2024 Pac Rims and five world cup events. This year, she reached her first career world cup final on bars in Doha, competing three D elements and an E-valued Van Leeuwen. | |
| Pihan-Kulesza, Marta | Poland |
| There are many superlatives for Pihan-Kulesza in this year’s world championship field. She is the oldest competitor on the roster at 38, as well as the most experienced with 14 previous world and Olympic appearances on her résumé. Her best world championship result came at Nanning 2014, when she placed 14th in the all-around, and her best Olympic result came at London 2012, when she ended up as a reserve for the floor final. | |
| Reid, Freya | New Zealand |
| Reid is the youngest member of the New Zealand team but does own world championship experience, having competed the all-around at junior worlds in 2023. In preparation for her senior worlds debut in 2025, she competed at the Doha and Osijek world cups. | |
| Roberson, Joscelyn | United States |
| Roberson owns a world team gold medal from Antwerp 2023, when she competed vault and floor in qualification before having to withdraw from the team final and vault event final with injury. Roberson currently owns the highest D score in the world on floor for a routine featuring a Moors, and is tied for the highest D score on vault with a Cheng and Yurchenko double full. | |
| Sikic Kaucic, Antea | Croatia |
| The floor specialist on Croatia’s team, Sikic Kaucic has made an instant impact in her first year as a senior in 2025. She reached the floor final at four out of five world cup events, winning the gold medal in Tashkent and winning fans with her charming and committed La La Land routine. | |
| Sulekic, Sara | Croatia |
| Sulekic’s purview is bars, where she has made 12 career world cup finals, earning two medals—a silver in Osijek in 2024 and a bronze in Mersin in 2023. She racks up a very competitive difficulty score with her British Invasion routine, performing a Downie and a Tweddle back-to-back to open her set. | |
| Wada, Alisa | New Zealand |
| The 21-year-old Wada made her international debut just last year at the Pac Rims and added another first in 2025 when she reached an event final at the University Games on beam. She scored 13.100 in qualification, impressing with a crisp switch split mount and wolf turn double | |
| Wong, Leanne | United States |
| Wong will arrive at her fourth consecutive world championship as one of the most decorated athletes in the field with four prior world medals. Individually, she owns all-around silver and floor bronze from Kitakyushu 2021, and as part of the US team, she has gold medals from Liverpool 2022 and Antwerp 2023. In 2025, she is one of the few athletes in the world to have delivered a 56 in the all-around and owns the highest-scoring pair of vaults. | |
| Zelcic, Tina | Croatia |
| The Croatian beamer, Zelcic brings world championship experience, having hit beam at Stuttgart 2023 for a 12.400. She equaled her best world cup result this year in Doha with a silver medal and is known for excelling at split positions in particular, even on the more difficult beam leaps like a switch 1/2. | |

Subdivision 5 Bios
| Aðalsteinsdottir, Thelma | Iceland |
| Already a star of the artistry checklist on floor, Aðalsteinsdottir also added her actual name to the code of points in 2024 with the D-rated Weiler Comaneci on bars. Competitively, she has been to six European championships, six world cup event finals, and three world championships in her near decade of senior competition. | |
| Barzasi, Chiara | Italy |
| Barzasi is the lone member of the Italian squad without world or European championship experience, though she does own a world cup bronze medal on beam from Doha in 2024. Her top scores will typically come on bars, where she performs Maloney + Ricna and Ray + Pak combinations for a competitive 5.9 D score. | |
| Bickel, Lena | Switzerland |
| Over the last several years, Bickel has emerged as the star of the Swiss women’s program. On her world championship debut at Antwerp 2023, her all-around performance earned her the lone Swiss women’s spot at the Paris Olympics, where she came a half point from the all-around final. In 2025, her composed beam performance earned her a silver medal at the deep Paris world cup, her second medal in as many career world cup appearances. | |
| Bousmayo, Salina | Morocco |
| Bousmayo officially switched her FIG nationality from Germany to Morocco in February 2024 and won beam gold at the African championship several months later. In 2025, she has reached a world cup event final in 4 of 6 opportunities, coming closest to a medal on bars in Cairo, showing off excellent form on a Pak and double layout. | |
| Charpy, Lorette | France |
| Jakarta will be the fifth world championship appearance for Charpy, whose crowning worlds moment came when she delivered a hit Shang + Pak combination on bars for 14.133 en route to the team bronze medal at Antwerp 2023. She also owns five European medals in her career, three with the French team, plus individual bronzes on beam in 2019 and bars in 2022. | |
| D’Amato, Asia | Italy |
| A legend of the Italian team, D’Amato has been absent from the world stage since 2021 due to injury and, at September’s national championship, competed the all-around for the first time in a year and a half. In her first year as a senior in 2019, she was an integral part of Italy’s historic world team bronze, and she returned to the individual worlds at Kitakyushu 2021 to win a silver medal in the vault final. | |
| Fioravanti, Emma | Italy |
| Fioravanti has surged right to the top of Italy’s selection conversation in her first year as a senior, thanks in large part to her floor routine. Marked by a standout double front, Fioravanti’s floor earned a bronze medal in Jesolo and an event final spot at Euros, where it was also critical asset in Italy’s team gold performance. | |
| Guðmundsdottir, Hildur | Iceland |
| Heading to her third career world championship, Guðmundsdottir already made history this year for Iceland with her world cup silver medal on floor in Tashkent, the first ever for an Icelandic woman. Her best scores do typically come on floor thanks to her full-credit leaps and performance quality. | |
| Gunnarsdottir, Lilja | Iceland |
| The new one on the Icelandic team, Gunnarsdottir made her European championship debut in 2024 and her first career world cup finals at Varna in 2025. She qualified for both the vault and floor finals but landed lock-legged on a handspring front tuck on vault and had to withdraw from floor. Her top scores typically come on vault from her Yurchenko full. | |
| Le Thi Thanh Phuong | Vietnam |
| Competing at the world championship will be a major step for Le, who has exactly one senior international competition on her record, qualification at the 2023 Asian championship, where she scored 44.398 in the all-around. | |
| Nguyen Thi Quynh Nhu | Vietnam |
| Carrying the torch for team “born in the 90s” at worlds this year will be Nguyen, a vault specialist who has competed a scant few times internationally in her career—but often with medal success. This year, she won vault silver at the Asian championship with a Tsukahara double full and a high handspring pike 1/2. | |
| Osyssek, Morgane | France |
| Osyssek did not make her world championship debut for France until she was 20, but it was a stellar debut at Antwerp 2023. She competed beam and floor in the team final to help France to a bronze medal and, individually, advanced to the all-around final and placed 14th. She has since become an automatic selection for French teams and is slated to compete as a beam specialist at worlds this year with a routine featuring a G-rated back layout full. | |
| Perotti, Giulia | Italy |
| Perotti became Italy’s new national all-around champion in September—breaking the 14 mark on bars, beam, and floor in the process—as part of a triumphant senior debut season that also featured a European team gold medal. While ideal execution is a hallmark of her gymnastics across the events, her ring and turn positions in particular may be the best in the competition. | |
| Serber, Celia | France |
| The 22-year old Serber has found spots on French teams difficult to come by over the years, but she did make the squad for the last individual worlds, advancing to the all-around final at Kitakyushu 2021 and placing 20th. The 2025 season has been a success for Serber on bars, earning a silver medal at the Paris world cup and finishing behind only Kaylia Nemour. | |
| Teh, Cadence | Malaysia |
| Teh was one of several new Malaysian seniors who made waves at this year’s Asian championship, placing 12th in the all-around and ending up second alternate for the beam final. Teh also reached the beam final at the Osijek world cup, showing a well executed split ring jump position that should win fans in Jakarta. | |
| Van Eijken, Ming | France |
| Van Eijken’s event prowess has earned her accolades—and an Olympic appearance—in her brief two years as a senior elite. Her handspring rudi on vault brought her a European bronze medal in the event final in 2024, and she went on to make both the vault and floor finals at this year’s Euros. She is expected to pursue the same apparatus finals at this year’s worlds, complementing Osyssek as an event performer. | |
| Wu, Anny | Switzerland |
| Wu will head to her third career world championship in Jakarta, a spot earned thanks to several career firsts in 2025. Wu advanced to her first ever European all-around final in May and her first international event final (FX) at the University Games in July, where she also recorded the top vault, bars, and floor scores on a bare-bones three-member Swiss team that still nearly snatched a medal. | |
| Yeap Kang Xian | Malaysia |
| One of the breakout stars of this year’s Asian championship, Yeap placed 8th in the all-around and advanced to the beam final in a high-level field. She hit in the final to place 6th, showing a well-executed double tuck dismount, a delightful punch front + split jump 1/2 combination, and one of the more real attempts at side choreography. | |
| Yeoh Li Wen | Malaysia |
| The veteran on a Malaysian team of first-year seniors, Yeoh has been competing as a senior elite for 11 years but, surprisingly, is heading to her very first world championship. Her breakout competition was the 2022 Southeast Asian Games, where she took an all-around bronze and event golds on bars and beam. In 2025, Yeoh advanced to the bars final at the Osijek world cup, showing strong Endo work and the ability to avoid leg separations in transitions and a double layout dismount. | |

Subdivision 6 Bios
| Abdalla, Judy | Egypt |
| Egypt’s lone women’s competitor this year, Abdalla will make her worlds debut with medals already in tow. She won the bars title at the African championship in 2024 and took bronze on vault and bars at this year’s Cairo world cup, showing a high 5.2 bars difficulty with a Maloney + Hindorff combination and a Van Leeuwen. | |
| Golgota, Denisa | Romania |
| Absent from the elite competition circuit from 2019 until April of this year, Golgota has returned and immediately reestablished herself as the top all-arounder on this year’s Romanian world squad. She placed 7th AA at the European championship, also advancing to the beam final, and went on to win floor gold at the Szombathely world cup. Overall, Golgota’s strongest season was her first as a senior elite in 2018, when she won European medals on vault and floor and finished 17th all-around at worlds. | |
| Gomboluudev, Anujin | Mongolia |
| Gomboluudev’s appearance will mark a rare one for Mongolia at a women’s world championship. The WOGA gymnast competes as a L10 in the United States and placed 8th on bars in the Junior D division at Dev nationals in May. Internationally, she appeared at the Asian championship this year, placing 20th in the all-around. | |
| Guevara, Marina | Costa Rica |
| Relatively unseasoned internationally until 2025, Guevara took on the world cup circuit and broke through in Koper by advancing to the floor final. Her routine exemplified the “all leaps, no breaks” strategy as she had the lowest difficulty score of the entire qualification field, but still advanced to the final on the strength of leap execution. | |
| McDonald, Kate | Australia |
| Veteran Kate McDonald enters her 4th career world championship, having most recently placed 9th with the Australian team at Antwerp 2023 to help secure a trip back to the Olympics after a two-cycle team hiatus. At those Paris Olympics, McDonald hit counting routines on bars and beam for the Australians en route to a 10th place team finish. Individually, her crowning result came at the 2022 Commonwealth Games when she won gold on beam by a third of a tenth over teammate Georgia Godwin. | |
| Mihaescu, Anamaria | Romania |
| In her first year as a senior, Mihaescu will look to stake a claim as the standard bearer for the new generation of Romanians by hitting to potential in Jakarta. Competitive composition on bars should serve her well, but it is her attention to detail on simpler elements like a sissone on beam that most stands out from the crowd. | |
| Oprea, Ella | Romania |
| Oprea has competed only bars thus far in 2025, but the 13.100 she delivered on the event in the team competition at Euros did not go unnoticed, featuring a Hindorff and a back-front-back Stalder combination into Van Leeuwen. She will look to establish herself as the must-have bars worker for Romania this cycle. | |
| Pass, Ruby | Australia |
| Pass is one of just eight gymnasts from the 2024 Olympic all-around final to return for the world championship this year. Her 13th-place result in Paris ended up being the best for an Australian at the Olympics since Alana Slater finished 10th in 2004. Most known for her lovely double Arabian positions, Pass will look to bring the difficulty scores to contend this year on any apparatus. | |
| Scott, Breanna | Australia |
| Scott didn’t make her first major team for Australia until the age of 21, but she has made every single one since, appearing at Liverpool 2022, Antwerp 2023, and Paris 2024. Scott’s best results typically come from a difficulty-packed beam routine, where she often shows one of the best two-foot layouts in the competation, and where her 13.700 in qualification in Paris ended up just a tenth shy of making the Olympic final. | |
| Svike, Elana | Latvia |
| The first-year senior from Latvia is one of the unknown factors at this year’s worlds with limited competition experience to her name. She did compete bars and beam at the 2024 junior Euros in Italy and appeared at the Osijek world cup this year, scoring 10.266 on bars. | |
| Westlund, Emelie | Sweden |
| Emelie Westlund has appeared at four European championships and two world championships as a senior, her best result coming in 2023 when she advanced to the Euro all-around final. Typically known for her pristine execution on bars and beam, it was her athletically elegant floor routine that made the most noise at September’s Paris world cup. | |
| Westlund, Nathalie | Sweden |
| Nathalie has stayed the healthier of the Westlund twins overall, which has allowed her to rack up a few more accomplishements—a world cup bars silver from Doha in 2023, as well as a European bars final in 2024 where she came two tenths from a medal. Bars is predominantly the thing, and this year, she used her excellent double layout to advanced to the event final at the Paris world cup. | |
| Vaelen, Lisa | Belgium |
| Surprisingly, this will be just the second world championship appearance for Vaelen, who missed most of 2023 and 2024. Prior to that, she notched an Olympic appearance in Tokyo, a world championship vault final appearance in Liverpool, and a Euro vault bronze in Antalya. Vaelen’s handspring rudi on vault has typically been her showcase element, but she has also managed excellent results on bars over the years with a difficult routine featuring a Derwael-Fenton in combination. | |
| Vansteenkiste, Jade | Belgium |
| Vansteenkiste made a big splash in her first year as a senior in 2019, advancing to the European floor final and drawing accolades for her engaging floor performance. After a lengthy hiatus from the top tier of gymnastics, Vansteenkiste returns to worlds for the first time since that 2019 season—and has also returned to the realm of floor stars, taking an event bronze there at this year’s University Games. | |
| Voinea, Sabrina | Romania |
| With plenty of continental hardware to her name on beam and floor, Voinea will be eager to take the next step in Jakarta—and erase her recent 4th-place history on floor with no drama whatsoever—by wining her first career worlds medal. With a full-twisting layout on beam and a whip + DLO + front tuck and Silivas on floor, she will certainly have the difficulty scores to medal on both events. | |

| Finnegan will make her second appearance at a world championship this year, having also competed at Antwerp 2023 when she booked her spot at the Paris Olympics. Since switching her international license to the Philippines, Finnegan has won a number of medals, including vault and beam bronze at the 2023 Asian championship. Her interchangeable comfort with both the Yurchenko 1.5 and Omelianchik on vault during her LSU career serves her well in an elite event context when two vaults are required. | |
| Flores, Mariangela | Mexico |
| Flores heads to the world championship for the first time but has made her mark on Mexican teams for several years. She won junior medals at the Pan-American level in 2021, and in 2024, she advanced to the Pan-Am senior floor final. Prior to that, she competed in the US elite program as a Hopes gymnast. | |
| Garcia, Haylee | Philippines |
| The top performer for the Philippines at this year’s Asian championship, Garcia finished 13th in the all-around with a 47.631. She also jumped up to the L10 tier in the United States for the first time, advancing to Dev nationals this year and finishing 15th on vault in the junior F division. | |
| Guerra, Paulina | Mexico |
| Guerra made her first appearance at an international competition in seven years earlier this year when she competed at the Antalya world cup and advanced to the bars final, standing out for her supreme toe point throughout the routine. Guerra also advanced to the Pan-Am bars final and now, at the age of 24, is slated to make her world championship debut. | |
| Malabuyo, Emma | Philippines |
| An Olympic alternate for the United States team in Tokyo, Malabuyo went on to earn a spot at the Paris Olympics representing the Philippines, finishing about six tenths out of the all-around final. Malabuyo owns Asian championship gold and silver medals on floor, the event where she has seen the most success in her Philippines era. Even though she dropped vault from her repertoire in her final years at UCLA, she will compete all four events as an elite as needed—i.e., when the Olympics are a-callin’. | |
| Mata, Victoria | Mexico |
| Continuing the “I’m back” trend on the Mexican team, Mata has competed at an FIG meet exactly once in the last seven years—the 2021 Pan Ams—and is now returning to the world championship for the first time since Doha 2018. Her best results in the past have come on vault, where she took a world cup bronze in 2018 and placed 18th at Montreal 2017 with a handspring tuck 1/2 and Yurchenko full. | |
| Pamungkas, Salsabilla | Indonesia |
| Pamungkas was the strongest vaulter on this year’s Indonesian team at the Asian championship—her 12.600 first vault was the best score for anyone on the squad on any event—and by showing two vaults, she made herself eligible for the vault event standings, where she has a solid shot to produce Indonesia’s best event ranking at this home worlds in Jakarta. | |
| Prakoso, Alarice | Indonesia |
| Like Indonesia’s entire team for this world championship, Prakoso is relatively untested in the competition realm but will be encouraged by the floor title she won at the team’s warmup event in Egypt last month. At the Asian championship in June, she was Indonesia‘s best performer on bars, beam, and floor. | |
| Rengannis, Larasati | Indonesia |
| Rengannis was not on Indonesia’s team for this year’s Asian championship or for the warmup event the others competed at in Egypt, so it really is all brand new for the world championship this year. | |
| Tello, Seema | Syria |
| In many ways, this is the subdivision for the brand new as there’s no prior international competition record for the 26-year-old Tello. The only other record for a Syrian gymnast at worlds was Doha 2018, when Areej Alkhayat competed a handspring on-off on vault. | |
| Yulo, Elaiza | Philippines |
| Most known as Carlos’s younger sister, Yulo will be looking to make her own name at this year’s world championship in her senior competitive debut—though she does continue the family tradition of counting vault and floor as her strengths. As a junior, she appeared at the 2024 Pac Rims, placing 10th all-around with a 40.300. | |

Subdivision 8 Bios
| Chorna, Daria | Ukraine |
| Chrona represented Ukraine on the European stage as a junior but has competed just once internationally in her first senior season, appearing at the Szombathely world cup alongside her Ukrainian worlds teammates. She recorded the highest score among the Ukrainians on floor with a 12.200. | |
| Coutinho, Julia | Brazil |
| A first-year senior, Coutinho can already count breaking into the Brazilian A-team among her accomplishements, needing only a few senior appearances to gain near-lock status. Her floor routine—featuring a whip + double Arabian—earned a gold medal at the Koper world cup and has established itself as one of the must-watch routines of qualification. | |
| Daries, Naveen | South Africa |
| The elder of the Daries sisters has amassed an impressive record of having competed the all-around at five prior world championships and an Olympics—something only five women in this year’s worlds field can say. In the process, she has earned a barrel full of African championship medals but is also still adding her her list of firsts. This year, she won her first world cup medal, a silver on bars in Tashkent, where her ability to finish a toe full in vertical position served her very well. | |
| Daries, Zelme | South Africa |
| The younger of the Daries sisters, by contrast, will be heading to her first world championship this year at the age of 21. She also excels on bars, winning the apparatus bronze medal at the African championship last year, and shows an impressive piked Jaeger and full-twisting double layout dismount. | |
| Ganguly, Swastika | India |
| The 27-year-old Ganguly went eight years between international meet appearances but reemerged at the world cups this year, competing two vaults in both Antalya and Paris and upgrading her first vault from 3.8 to 4.4 between the two meets. | |
| Gayen, Bidisha | India |
| Another gymnast in her 20s making her first world championship appearance in Jakarta, Gayen was the top floor performer on India’s squad at this year’s Asian championship, scoring 11.433 in qualification. She excels in her completion of complex turning leaps like a split jump 1.5. | |
| Hamed, Salma | Qatar |
| Hamed is the only senior gymnast from Qatar with an FIG license and has represented Qatar several times in the last couple years at Asian championships and world cup events, typically on vault and floor. Her career best score is an 11.900 on vault for a Tsukahara tucked. | |
| Ivanenko, Viktoriia | Ukraine |
| The 2025 season has been the most prolific for the 20-year-old Ivanenko, who appeared at the European championship, the University Games, and several world cups. While she hasn’t competed beam at the world cups, she did go for an ambitious routine at the University Games with four Ds and one E. | |
| Kubon, Christine | Norway |
| Kubon is a second-year senior who has previously represented Norway at junior worlds in 2023, as well as at the European championship this May. Among this year’s Norweigian team, she’s the strongest bars worker and owns the biggest beam routine featuring a two-foot layout, punch front, and triple wolf. It was vault, however, that produced her best result of the 2025 season when she advanced to the event final in Cottbus. | |
| Lobok, Diana | Ukraine |
| Lobok has enjoyed the strongest 2025 of the Ukrainian worlds team members, advancing to five world cup event finals—three on beam, her strongest event, where she performs the E-rated layout stepout mount and switch ring. She nearly worked her way into the beam medals in Szombathely with a hit for 12.750. | |
| Lockert, Keisha | Norway |
| In her two years as a senior, Lockert has emerged as the floor star of the Norweigian team, advancing to three world cup event finals largely on the strength of her execution and performance quality. It was beam, though, that proved the standout event for Lockert at this year’s European championship when she put up a career-best performance in the mixed team event. | |
| Matiushenko, Sofiia | Ukraine |
| Matiushenko is the least experienced member of the Ukrainian worlds team. She is, however, far from alone in counting Jakarta as the very first event on her FIG profile—as long as she can find her way into a qualification lineup on a beam-heavy squad where the events may be challenging to divvy up. | |
| Nayak, Pranati | India |
| The veteran Nayak heads to her fifth world championship this year and will once again look to make an impact on vault, her speciality event. She has won vault bronze at the Asian championship three times in the last six years, including this June when she hit a Tsukahara double full and handspring pike full. She will aim to get layout credit for her handspring vault, which would add 6 tenths to her difficulty and give her one of the top D scores in the field. | |
| Nhleko, Buhle | South Africa |
| Nhleko is the vaulter of the South African team. Most of her strongest results come on vault, where she very nearly took a medal at the Koper world cup this year with a Yurchenko full and handspring front tuck, ending up in 4th place. | |
| Patil, Anoushka | India |
| The only teen on India’s worlds squad this year, Patil is a late replacement for Protishta Samanta. Prior to last month, she had never competed outside of India, but she got some valuable experience at September’s Paris world cup, competing vault, beam, and floor. Her high score came for her first vault, 12.600 with a 4.4 D. | |
| Pinto, Makarena | Chile |
| The 37-year old Pinto just missed out on being the oldest competitor at worlds by one year, trailing only the 38-year old Marta Pihan Kulesza. Pinto competed the all-around at three of her previous world championship appearances, but she typically prioritizes vault, where her best results and international medals have come with her large pantry of handspring and Tsukahara options. She’s been competing long enough to remember when you could score 14.400 for a Tsuk 1.5. | |
| Rooskrantz, Caitlin | South Africa |
| With two Olympic appearances, four world championship appearances, and eight African championship medals, Rooskrantz has already established herself as the best gymnast in South African history. Given her excellence and difficulty on bars—combinations like Church + Gienger allow her to break the 6.0 D barrier—it is only surprising that her best ever worlds result on bars is a mere 41st place. | |
| Santi, Franchesca | Chile |
| The baby of the Chilean worlds duo, Santi is a mere 33 years old and, like Pinto, has also seen her best results come on vault. Over the years, a Yurchenko double full first vault has earned Santi bunches and bunches of challenge cup and Pan-American medals, and at Glasgow 2015, it helped produce her best career worlds result, finishing 15th in the vault standings. | |
| Saraiva, Flavia | Brazil |
| The legend herself returns to worlds for the sixth time—to go along with thee Olympic appearances—but now with many more shiny medals to her name. When she last appeared on a worlds roster for Antwerp 2023, it was as the best gymnast in the field without a major medal. Now, she arrives at Jakarta 2025 with a world floor bronze, team silver, and Olympic team bronze. So, about that beam medal… | |
| Soares, Julia | Brazil |
| At the dawn of the last Olympic cycle, Soares was the baby of the Brazilian team. Now, she has world and Olympic team medals, an eponymous beam mount, an Olympic beam final appearance, and an overall résumé most in the field would dream of. Continuing to excel on beam and floor, she took the Brazilian national floor title this year showing off her usual sublime leg position in tucked tumbling. | |
| Tøssebro, Juliane | Norway |
| Tøssebro is the lone member of the Norweigian team this year with worlds experience, appearing at both Kitakyushu 2021 and Liverpool 2022 to go along with four European championship appearances. Kinetic, aggressive floor performance is typically a hallmark of Tøssebro’s gymnastics. | |
| Weisberg, Sophia | Brazil |
| In a year when many of the big Brazilian stars were resting or having babies or competing limited events, Weisberg took advantage of the opportunity presented to win the Brazilian senior national all-around title in her very first try. With a Yurchenko double full on vault, she’ll be eager to make a mark as a vaulter Brazil can rely on in this Olympic cycle. | |

Subdivision 9 Bios
| Alves, Gabriela | Portugal |
| In her third year as a senior, Alves heads to her first major event representing Portugal. She gained some competitive experience in September by doing bars and floor at the Paris world cup, placing 24th on bars with an 11.600. Prior to that, her biggest event was the 2022 European Youth Olympic Festival, where she brought out a Little Mermaid floor routine. | |
| Costa, Mafalda | Portugal |
| Costa has appeared at three European championships and one world championship for Portugal and will head to Jakarta as the floor tumbling star of the Portuguese squad. Willing to bring out the E+ passes, Costa has a full-in and double layout in her repertoire, and it is paying off in the scores. Her 12.700 in floor qualification at the Paris world cup very nearly earned her a spot in the final. | |
| Georgieva, Valentina | Bulgaria |
| Over the last two years, Georgieva has emerged as a major international vault contender, winning the vault silver at two consecutive European championships, racking up a whole career worth of world cup medals, and advancing to the Paris Olympic event final. She’ll typically deliver one of the highest and best completed Yurchenko double fulls in the competition along with a Tsukahara 1.5 (which, significantly, does not receive the 0.2 direction bonus). | |
| Hribar, Lucija | Slovenia |
| Hribar is a veteran of the world championships, but her most recent appearance at Antwerp 2023 proved the most significant as her 49.965 all-around score was enough to secure a place at the Paris Olympics, where she placed 55th in the all-around. This year, Hribar reached her first career AA final at a European championship and joined the pretigious “I can win with a fall” club with her bars gold medal at the Koper world cup. | |
| Kalmykova, Anna | AIN-R |
| Among the AIN’s slated to make her international debut at this year’s world championship, Kalmykova is the most powerful, showing a DLO 1/1 and whip + double Arabian on floor and a handspring rudi on vault. She’ll hope to make a mark on those events in particular, but her all-around gold medal at the Russian Cup indicates she can be competitive in the AA should she make all four lineups in qualification. | |
| Kysselef, Tjasa | Slovenia |
| One of the world’s most prolific vault specialists, Kysselef has won oodles of world cup medals in her career and now heads to her 8th career world championship, the third-most in the entire field. She has placed 14th on vault twice at worlds in the past—2018 and 2021. Her signature vault is the handspring front tuck full, which she’ll typically put up second after the more valuable Yurchenko 1.5. | |
| Mebar, Lisa | Cameroon |
| Mebar is one of two athletes from Cameroon set to make Cameroon’s first ever appearance at a world championship. Likely to compete minimum difficulty, Mebar has appeared at two prior African championships. | |
| Melnikova, Angelina | AIN – R |
| By far the most decorated athlete in this year’s worlds field, Melnikova is the 2021 world all-around champion and owns 11 world and Olympic medals in total—two gold, four silver, and five bronze—from Doha 2018, Stuttgart 2019, Tokyo 2021 and Kitakyushu 2021. After being authorized to compete as a neutral individual, Melnikova made her return to international competition at the Paris world cup in September, winning gold on beam and silver on floor. | |
| Mueangphuan, Sasiwimon | Thailand |
| This will be the second world championship for Mueangphuan, who last appeared at Liverpool 2022. That 2022 season was a career best, the big highlight coming at the Southeast Asian Games when she won a floor exercise gold medal for a routine featuring excellent positions on her tour jete 1/2 and Memmel. | |
| Parente, Mariana | Portugal |
| Parente is the most familiar and recognizable of this year’s Portuguese squad, having appeared at every European and world championship since she became a senior athlete. A stylisitic heir to Laurie Hernandez, Parente excels in footwork, flexibility and twisting form. | |
| Prijanovic, Vita | Slovenia |
| Prijanovic is the new member of a mostly veteran Slovenian team, but she’s quickly catching up in the experience department with 7 world cups and a European championship appearance in her first year as a senior in 2025. A highlight for Prijanovic was reaching the Cairo floor final despite a two-pass 4.2 D-score routine, thanks in large part to dance element execution. | |
| Roshchina, Lyudmila | AIN-R |
| The 17-year-old Roshchina is in many ways the AIN with the broadest range of possible medals. Her all-around results this year make as strong a case as any for a medal there, and she will contend for most event finals. In particular, her bars—featuring an inbar full + inbar + Downie + Pak combination—has the difficulty to establish Roshchina as one of the top contenders there. | |
| Ruecker, Thantida | Thailand |
| The 20-year-old Ruecker spent a season competing for Southern Connecticut in NCAA gymnastics, where she made the lineups on vault, bars, and floor during the 2024 season, peaking at 9.775 on all three events. Internationally, her breakthrough came this year when she placed 5th in the vault event final at the Asian championship with a strong handspring pike 1/2 and Yurchenko full. | |
| Stoimenova, Nikol | Bulgaria |
| The UK-based Stoimenova enjoyed a breakthrough competition this spring at the Varna world cup. She delivered a secure event final beam routine featuring a wolf triple and precisely landed C acro elements to win a bronze medal, her first ever at an international senior competition. | |
| Teneku, Moira | Cameroon |
| Teneku joins her teammate Mebar in making the debut at worlds for Cameroon, so the two will be in competition to see who can set the Cameroon performance record. Teneku has appeared the last three African championships. | |
| Thorburn, Anne-Leen | Namibia |
| Thorburn marks Namibia’s return to the world championship for the first time since they sent a delegation of three to Glasgow 2015. She has previously competed at a few world cup events—her best score coming from vault in 2024 with an 11.900—and she represented Namibia at the Paris world cup in September, competing bars and beam. | |
| Trtnik, Zala | Slovenia |
| For most of the year, Trtnik is a bars and beam gymnast, but she has been known to pull out an all-around performance at Euros and worlds as needed. Leg form is a consistent strength in Trtnik’s gymnastics, from her satisfying sissone on beam to her excellent body position in a Maloney on bars. | |
| Vasilieva, Leila | AIN-R |
| The second-year senior Vasilieva has been making a mark domestically since before Russia was banned, but she’ll join most of her teammates in counting Jakarta as her first international competition. While she may not have the four-event consistency to get a chance at the all-around, she owns a difficult, inbar-packed bars routine that can contend, and she is committed to doing something a little different by keeping the Rulfova alive on beam. | |
| Ventsislavova, Viktoria | Bulgaria |
| With the experience of two European championships under her belt, the second-year senior Ventsislavova will now head to her first world championship. While her best results have come on vault—advancing to the Tashkent event final this year—her highlight element is a smooth, well-controlled Pak on bars. | |

| Artamonova enters her second world championship faced with the difficult task of matching the triumph of her first, when she came to Antwerp 2023 as a relative unknown and promptly booked a spot at the Olympics. In Paris, she places 46th AA and 38th on beam, typically her strongest routine featuring a delightful switch to split jump 1/2 combination and no-doubt switch ring. | |
| Chan Cheuk Lam | Hong Kong |
| We haven’t seen Chan at a world championship since Liverpool 2022, when she competed only beam, which is typically her event and garnered a season-best 12.250 at the University Games this year. She did, however, take advantage of the field at worlds in 2021 to place a career-high 21st on vault with a handspring tuck 1/2 and Tsukahara back pike. | |
| Czifra, Bettina Lili | Hungary |
| Czifra has enjoyed a decorated first three years as a senior gymnast. At her debut worlds in 2023, she was the top Hungarian performer and defeated favored teammates to earn a spot at the Olympics, where she then advanced to the all-around final. In 2025, she was the final qualifier to the European bars final, then upped her difficulty four tenths in the final to win a silver medal with an opening Stalder Shap + Stalder full + Downie + Pak combination (and just one kip). | |
| Deng Yalan | China |
| At 26, the vault specialist Deng makes her first world championship appearance in Jakarta—and only her second appearance at an international meet of any kind after a single world cup gold in 2015. With a Tsukahara double full and handspring rudi, Deng projects to be tied for the highest difficulty on vault at this year’s world championship | |
| Escudero, Marina | Spain |
| Escudero has two European championship appearances on her résumé but will make her first worlds appearance in Jakarta, a month after making her first world cup event final. In Szombathely, Escudero upgraded from a Yurchenko full to a double full for the final but ended up putting a hand down on landing, so we’ll see if the upgrade makes its way to Jakarta. | |
| Font, Laia | Spain |
| Also on Yurchenko double full watch for Spain will be Font, who has a track record of hits this year at the European championship and Paris world cup event finals. Vault typically brings Font’s best scores, but she did also reach the 13 mark on beam at Euros this year, showing spritely rhythm in leap connections. | |
| Kuzmenkova, Ulyana | AIN – B |
| The first-year senior Kuzmenkova was authorized to compete earlier this year and made her international debut at the Paris world cup last month, competing beam and floor. With very limited career competitions, we still don’t know what a hit will look like from her as she missed on beam in Paris for just 10.700. | |
| Masova, Vanesa | Czechia |
| Masova had been a star-in-the-making at the junior level for several years but enjoyed her senior breakout competition this year at the European championship. She advanced to the all-around final and placed in the top 10, hit bars in the event final to finish 5th, and won fans around the world with toe point so good it looks animated. | |
| Mayer, Greta | Hungary |
| A favorite of Challenge Cup Sickos everywhere, Mayer owns a remarkable 16 medals at world cup events over her first four years in the senior division. This year, her confident, secure, power-gymnast beam has earned three medals, including a gold in Doha, while her Tsukahara full and Podkopayeva combination on vault has garnered two medals as well as a spot in the Euro event final. | |
| Peter, Sara | Hungary |
| Sara Peter returns to the world championship this year after a 6-year absense, last appearing at Stuttgart 2019 to deliver a hit Yurchenko double full for the top Hungarian vault score. A vault and floor specialist, Peter took a floor medal at the Doha world cup this year, opting for a routine of comfortably completed D acro and C dance elements that has been well received. | |
| Petisco, Alba | Spain |
| This has been a career year for the 22-year-old Petisco, whose excellent split positions and toe point have long made her a favorite. At this year’s European championship, the medals finally came as Petisco took silver in the all-around final with nothing less than a 13 on any event, then added a bronze medal in the floor final with a very competitive 5.7 D score. | |
| Ponizilova, Dominika | Czechia |
| The most experienced member of the Czech team, Ponizilova heads to her fifth career world championship, having made her debut back at Doha 2018. She is typically counted on to deliver a competitive vault, the event on which she has enjoyed the most individual success, including two world cup event medals. The Tsukahara full has been her go-to vault, but her best results have come when she has been able to pull out a handspring layout 1/2 as well. | |
| Szekely, Zoja | Hungary |
| The last time Szekely appeared at a world championship, she finished an impressive 15th on bars (but then there was a whole thing, yada yada the Olympics, no time to explain), and she has continued as one of the best bars workers in the world. In 2025, she added another world cup gold and a Euro event final appearance, as well as a University Games silver, to her list of bars accomplishments. | |
| Tsitavets, Alina | AIN – B |
| Tsitavets was the first athlete from Belarus authorized to compete as a neutral and has been active internationally since early 2024, when she was one spot away from advancing to the Olympics through the world cups on bars. Bars is her strongest piece, where she racks up the difficulty with the E-valued Van Leeuwen and Komova II. | |
| Vlkova, Alice | Czechia |
| Vlkova enjoyed a strong senior debut in 2023, advancing to the European all-around final and winning three challenge cup medals. A quick twister who can get around a back 3/1 with time to spare, her best results have usually come on vault and floor, but in 2025, she has been limited to only bars and beam thus far at the European championship and Szombathely world cup. | |
| Yang Fanyuwei | China |
| The bars specialist Yang heads to her first world championship as one of only two gymnasts to have broken the 15 mark on bars this year (along with world-leader Kaylia Nemour), which Yang did in winning the University Games event gold. In March, Yang successfully performed the full-twsting layout Jaeger at the world cup in Antalya, entering it into the code of points as the Yang—a G element. | |
| Yezhova, Evelina | Kazakhstan |
| A first-year senior, Yezhova placed 9th all-around at the Asian Championship this year and advanced to the vault final, showing a solid Yurchenko full and handspring pike 1/2. Her beam score of 12.700 placed only 15th there but would have made a mark at many other events. | |
| Zhang Qingying | China |
| Zhang heads back to worlds in 2025 two years after her first appearance at Antwerp 2023, when she advanced to the beam final but saw a disappointing stomach drop on her back dive from side position spoil her team final and event final prospects. This year, she heads back to worlds as the Chinese national all-around champion, again sporting some of the top beam scores in the field. | |
| Zhou Yaqin | China |
| Consistently performing as the best beamer in the world for the last two years, Zhou heads to Jakarta still looking for her first major beam gold after taking silver at both Antwerp 2023 and Paris 2024. She’ll be among the beam favorites again but could also make a mark on floor with a high-E-focused routine. | |
