Full results for this competition have yet to be made available. The English language website for the competition is here, but as yet there is but an archive of past results available.

Nevertheless, some ideas of the competition outcome have leaked out, and while these results aren't official they do appear to be reasonably reliable so I'll report what is known to date here, and provide links to videos. With thanks to Mrs Galina Grishina for her Youtube updates, and to Nora Schuler.

Men's team competition

1 Ukraine
2 USA
3 Russia

The composition of the Russian men's team as reported on the Russian language message board was : Dimitri Gogotov, Pavel Russinyak, Daniil Kazachkov.

Women's team competition

1 Russia (Grishina, Sapronova, Stepanova (I believe Inishina was the reserve)
2 Ukraine
3 Belarus

Head judge Oksana Omelianchik distributed the medals to the winning teams ;-)

Women's all around competition

1 Anastasia Grishina, with a reported score of 59.95 (15.1, 15.3, 14.65,14.9)
2 Angelina Kislaya, UKR
3 Diana Sapronova, RUS

I don't know if the Russian bonus system operated at this competition - but, given Grishina's scores, it does seem likely. The highly touted Livichkova suffered an injury on floor so could not complete the competition, sadly.

A resource of many of the main routines, including men's, can be found at Youtube .

Anastasia Grishina has 'upgraded' the acrobatic difficulty of her work and looks fantastic on bars and beam. On floor, her work is less lyrical than before if more powerful, and she has retained the beautiful line. She has also added a double twisting Yurchenko to her battery of skills. Well, she will need to consolidate this difficulty level as she progresses to senior level and I'm guessing the floor choreography will be revamped in time for the Olympics.

You can view her performances on Youtube at the link above, or see them below:

Mustafina on Roschina

By
ROTTERDAM (Netherlands), October 24. /TASS/. Russian gymnast Lyudmila Roshchina, who won silver in the individual all-around at the World Championships, succeeded precisely because she focused on challenging herself rather than competing for medals. This is the assessment of Aliya Mustafina, a coach for the Russian national team and a two-time Olympic champion, who spoke to TASS. "Of course, I wasn't certain that Lyudmila would end up on the podium in the all-around, though I certainly hoped she would," Mustafina said. "The general instruction was not to think about medals or rankings. As they headed from the warm-up area to the competition floor, I told the girls: 'Don't worry about where you place—just focus on challenging yourselves.' And Lyusya managed to do exactly that." "Her mindset played a major role, too; she was in a very positive frame of mind even back in the warm-up area. So, I wouldn't say that winning this silver was an incre...

Belyavski on Rotterdam, the Russian men, and lots more …

  "The greater the challenges, the better Russian gymnasts perform." An interview with Belyavsky Tatyana Postnikova, Championat October 28, 2026, 14:00 Moscow Time An Olympic champion reflects on the 2026 World Championships, discusses his athletic plans, and talks about his participation in the Gymnastics Premier League. The World Artistic Gymnastics Championships have concluded in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. For the first time since 2009, the Russian national team has returned from the tournament without any gold medals. However, the Russians did secure four medals—two silver and two bronze—and, crucially, earned an Olympic quota spot! Given the visa issues our athletes encountered, this is a respectable result. Immediately following the 2026 World Championships, we spoke with a star of the recent Russian national team—Olympic and World champion David Belyavsky. In an interview with *Championat*, he reviewed the tournament, shared his thoughts on competing in the Gymnastics...

Who really won the WAG All Around?

By
You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ...
