2025 Worlds Draw and Named Rosters

[MaryClare]

Have any of the AIN team besides Melnikova ever competed outside of Russia?

Kalmykova competed at the woga classic in early 2020 when she was 11 turning 12.

GB has released their teams:

WAG: Martin, Leat, Evans, Amanwaah

MAG: Yolshin-Cash, Tulloch, Hepworth, Jarman, Fraser, Whitehouse

I wonder if Gadirova opted to not go or if she was not offered a spot. ETA: someone on Reddit shared this article, which indicates that Jess withdrew due to injury. They didn't specify the nature or severity of the injury.

We're never going to see Jess Gadirova return to pre-ACL form, are we? Sigh.

 

[Sasha]

It's starting to feel that way. I also feel like we may never see Jenn in a major competition again. Hope my gut is wrong on both counts.

USA submitted Rivera, Rose, Hang, and Sullivan.

Top three from Winter Cup and then Rivera. Makes sense based on the timeline. They wouldn't have wanted to enter Wong or Roberson without any elite competition under their belts.

Wouldn't the test of that be more related to her Vault/Floor performance? Is it known if or when she intends to return to competing on those events?

I thought the final decision will be made based on the selection camp next week? Does it really matter who they enter now? Or do they have to keep some of the gymnasts originally entered? Or can they replace all 4?

ETA: I guess you meant ‘without any international elite competition’? Because both Wong and Roberson did Championship, and Roberson also US Classic.

The US WAG entrants on the nominative roster are placeholders.

I noticed that Chusovitina isn't listed?

Yes, camp will mostly decide things. It's always curious who USAG puts on the nominative roster, although Richard makes a very good point that this year it was clearly just Rivera and top 3 from Winter Cup. Wonder how long ago they submitted that.

The nominative entries were likely submitted before Wong or Roberson had finished the collegiate season
