2026 Apparatus World Cup WAG Rankings

Up to 32 women will qualify to the World Championships by ranking in the top eight on each apparatus at the end of the FIG’s Apparatus World Cup series, which began with Cottbus in February a…

She might make it to worlds on beam. She's 31st but a lot of people ahead of her are from countries that should qualify a team at Continental Championships. I'm not sure how it's working with Russia, they're allowed to qualify as an AIN team this year right? That helps Marta if so.

Yes Russia can qualify a full team for worlds.

There's also the European AA spots to come. Top 25 from unqualified teams. I would imagine she's aiming for that, but yeah also on the cusp for the beam world cup series. If we take the top 13 from last year's Euros and bump Czechia in 13th for Russia, removing those athletes leaves Pihan in 8th.

I wonder who Romania will have on their team - they got 4th last year thanks to Barbosu (and might have got bronze if Sabrina had vaulted) but with Barbosu suspended.....

After the Voinea bullying scandal how many of the NCAA gymnasts are still training elite? Is Golgota still training?

I wouldn’t say that’s women’s vault is lacking in depth and quality at these things but…

Sorry, what LIECHTENSTEIN?!

How does a 40,000 person country even have a federation!?

Maybe this athlete is the whole federation — including the president? LOL

That, I don't know. It would be incredible if they've got themselves into a position where 13th place is in question. Being on the cusp of bronze was quite circumstance specific, but they're in a worse position than just moving down 2 because Russia are back and GB will probably have a stronger team.
