Preview: 2024 Pacific Rim Championships & 2024 Jesolo Trophy

Two exciting international competitions are starting this weekend: the 2024 Pacific Rim Championships and the 2024 Jesolo Trophy. Let’s dive into the details!

2024 PACIFIC RIM CHAMPIONSHIPS

In recent years, the Pacific Rim Championships has been celebrated as a competition where future stars begin to shine. Past champions from the U.S. who have gone on to achieve amazing results have included Simone Biles, Sam Mikulak, Aly Raisman, Paul Hamm, Kyla Ross, Jordyn Wieber, and Gabby Douglas, among many others. (Fun fact: the 2010 Pacific Rim Championships in Melbourne was one of Aly Raisman’s very first senior competitions.)

This year, Pacific Rim is scheduled for April 21st–28^th in Cali, Colombia. Not only will there be artistic gymnastics, but there will also be rhythmic gymnastics, aerobic gymnastics, and trampoline as well.

The U.S. men’s and women’s artistic teams will include:
