British MAG and WAG thread 2026

Enjoyed watching the British champs. Great for Alice getting her skills back only 6 months post partum and Becky did really well qualifying for EFs in the 3 events she did.

I would also say that there were some really nice leos after the horrible "half-naked" NCAA trend this year. Seems to be a trend for pastels (pink, blue, lemon, lavender, sea green, tangerine etc)

Alices E score was 7.6

I got a 7.5 (A3)

I assume the gymnasts will definitely want to do CWG over Euros. It's only every 4 years, and its more like an "Olympics" than Euros.

Plus - each of England, Wales, Scotland etc. get to field their own teams.

However - I can see some of them trying to do both. Maybe foregoing a chance at a team medal and just taking gymnasts for one event. Becky on bars. Ruby on Floor. Abi on Floor and vault. Leat for beam.

It was interesting that in 2022 the Gadirovas chose Euros. Felt like they were picking prestige in the sport over more general exposure, though I may be reading too much into that.

Wales are going to want to send their A, I think we can be sure of that. They must surely have their eye on top 3, with Ruby, the Ropers and Jemima Taylor. I would be surprised to see England not even attempt a team medal, but with the way the roster is split it might be Canada's best chance for a while. GB obviously must contest the team event at Euros because of worlds qualification.

Surely GB will qualify a full team to Words via Euros. Even the B C gymnasts can compete with the likes of Finland, Sweden, Austria, etc.

BG won’t have the balls to tell Ruby Evans she can’t do CWGs (and probably win Wales’ first ever gold). So I’d be fairly sure that she’ll do both.

Of course. It's top 13 teams iirc, so basically any full team should be fine.

I'd be surprised if healthy A teamers who've just done CWG don't also want to do Euros though. Ruby and Abi must fancy their chances of individual European medals, whatever else happens.
