Rebeca Andrade is back with the world title.

Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade won her third world title on the vault at the World Championships in Rotterdam, adding to her Olympic gold from Tokyo 2020 and silver from Paris 2024. The 27-year-old athlete returned to competition after a 22-month break taken for physical and mental health reasons, having last competed at the Pan American Championships in Rio where she secured a vault gold. In the women's vault final, she finished ahead of Americans Claire Pease and Skye Blakely, while legendary gymnast Simone Biles attended the event but has not yet decided whether to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova was unable to participate because Dutch authorities denied her a visa. Other notable results included American Frederick Richard winning his first world title on floor exercise, Armenian Hamlet Manukjan dominating the pommel horse final, and Chinese gymnast Lan Xingyu taking gold on rings.

Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade claimed her third world title on vault at the World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam, ending a two-year hiatus with a gold medal victory. The 27 year old pushed American rivals Claire Pease and Skye Blakely into second and third place respectively. Her triumph added to her Olympic gold from Tokyo 2020 and silver from Paris 2024 on the same apparatus. Simone Biles, who has not competed since the 2024 Paris Games, watched from the stands at the Ahoy arena. Biles has yet to decide whether she will return for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Andrade, the most successful Brazilian Olympian with six medals including two golds, took a 22 month break after Paris to focus on physical and mental health. She returned to competition in June with a vault gold at the Pan American Championships in Rio. Russian Angelina Melnikova was absent because Dutch authorities denied her a visa. In the men's floor exercise final, 22 year old American Frederick Richard won his first world title, defeating Britain’s Jake Jarman and Israel’s Artem Dolgopyat. Armenian Hamlet Manukjan secured the pommel horse gold, beating Italy’s Gabriele Targhetta and fellow Armenian Mamikon Hachatrian. The 19 year old had qualified first and maintained his form in the final. Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto, who defended his all around title earlier in the week, finished last in the floor final after making errors. Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour won her first apparatus title at this championship on balance beam. The 19 year old Olympic champion beat Germany’s Helen Kevric and Blakely to claim the gold, marking her second title on the beam since Jakarta 2025. China’s Lan Xingyu dominated the rings final, finishing ahead of Greece’s Eleftherios Petrounias and Armenia’s Artur Avashyan. The Chinese women’s team captured their first world team gold in 20 years, narrowly edging out the United States. Japan took bronze. In the men’s team final, Japan retained its title, followed by Russia and China. These top three teams qualified for the 2028 Olympics. A technical fault during the floor exercise caused delays in the schedule. Individual all around results saw Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto win the men’s title with a score of 85.998, ahead of China’s Haonan Yang and Great Britain’s Joe Fraser. In the women’s all around, Skye Blakely of the USA took gold with 55.733 points, followed by Russia’s Lyudmila Roschina and China’s Qinqin Ke. Team scores were as follows. Men: Japan 251.928, Russia 250.329, China 249.193, Great Britain 247.395, Switzerland 246.497, USA 245.161, Netherlands 241.294, Colombia 240.093.

Men’s apparatus finals included floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. Women’s finals covered vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Specific scores for other apparatus finals were recorded alongside the winners mentioned above. The championships concluded with these individual and team decisions in the Dutch city.
