2025 Worlds Draw and Named Rosters

[Turtle88]

Jung-Ruivivar likely did not attempt to make the team. She red-shirted her freshman year at Stanford last year and unenrolled from the school.
She's back there now and back on the roster. But possibly she was not in elite routine shape.

Kvamme, not sure, maybe she is focused on her NCAA routines/college courses.

Finnegan and Malabuyo no longer have NCAA eligibility.

That said, you can still do both NCAA and elite if you want. Skye Blakely and Josc Roberson are evidence of that going to Worlds this month but also getting ready for upcoming NCAA season.

I didn’t know that Jung-Ruivivar unenrolled from Stanford. I was excited to see her in the Philippines roster. Maybe in the coming years as she wanted to compete at LA2028. She is from Los Angeles after all.

Yes. She very bravely came out public as having an eating disorder and sought treatment for it. She red-shirted, unenrolled from Stanford and went home. Glad she is recovering and back at Stanford.

Looking forward to her return! That’s amazing!

What junior results did Yulo have? I thought she was injured the whole time and contemplated quitting. That’s why the choice was surprising considering the skills she was showing. Disappointing choices

I didn't know about the injury. But hope she's making a comeback if so. It's not a Teams world and it's closer to the Philippines than usual. If they're serious about building a programme this is a sensible move. Hope it's good for her.

She is a first-year senior - plenty of time to grow.

Does anyone know if Zsofia Kovacs is competing at worlds?

I think it’s really important to have gymnasts from the island at Worlds. Yulo I’m assuming is the best option.

Lots of team announcements lately. Singapore is sending the tried and true but disappointed with the Philippines 4th spot - Finnegan, Malabuyo and Garcia are good choices but Yulo? Watched her latest video and the difficulty and execution isn't there. So disappointed. What happened to their NCAAs athletes (Ruivivar, Kvamme etc) and recruits (Supnet, Nyland) that can at least show skills? Elaiza Yulo? Nepo choice? but then again it is a corrupt country. Was really hoping they'd send a decent contingent. At least Finnegan is there.

She’s not in the list posted on the FIG website but not sure if that’s the final list.

Will Ana Barbosu compete at Worlds? If she’s at Stanford Uni in USA already, does that mean she’s not going to Worlds?

She has skipped all the qualification events - verification, Paris, Szombathely - so unless she's been given a free pass, seems not.

Denisa Golgota has won AA at nationals and floor at Szombathely but withdrew from all events finals at nationals this weekend. If that wasn't a significant injury, she seems very likely to go for AA.

Sabrina Voinea won floor at Paris with a new floor routine, then again at nationals with another new floor routine - also won beam and vault. So she should go.

My main question is whether they'll use their full quota and send Ella Oprea for bars and Ana Maria Mihaescu for all around. Mihaescu hasn't quite breached 50 AA I think, and Oprea can but doesn't usually score in mid 13s. Maria Ceplinschi has been pacing and isn't going for worlds. Ghigoarta and Cosman haven't completed since Euros and weren't at trials, and no sign of Preda.

No, Hungarian Federation confirmed the team on October 3rd.
Lili Czifra and Zoja Szekely will be doing AA.
Greta Mayer and Sarah Peter are going as event specialists.

She isn’t going to Worlds. She’s not in the lineup for Romania.

Stanford is an academics first school, I can't imagine them being supportive of her just arriving on campus and then taking off for an international competition, even if it is Worlds. Not saying it was their decision, but probably a factor.

oh its very obvious. Its a nepo choice, i saw Nyland’s eval video and comparing that and Elaiza Yulo’s video Cadyn Nyland very easily beat Yulo. Yah i totally understand wanting to focus on local athletes but wouldnt you want to field the best team in order to compete against the world!

There’s no team event at this worlds, it makes it an ideal development opportunity

I know there is no team event when i say field the best team, it means send the best athlete to represent the country!

Multiple countries are using this Worlds to give opportunities to other gymnasts, not just their very best.

Alice D'Amato and Manila Esposito are being rested and the focus is on the younger athletes and building depth. Both gymnasts could have won multiple medals here and IMO Esposito was the favorite for AA gold.

You don't really know the rationale for each federation's selection.

If fielding a full team to Los Angeles is the federation goal, giving an opportunity to younger talent in need of experience might be the route to take, especially when there is no team event.

Yes and indeed some countries are not sending a full quota of athletes because by their own criteria, they don’t have enough who make the grade right now.
