2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Hezly Rivera Wins Winter Cup; American Cup, Jesolo, and National Team Rosters Named

2024 Olympic gold medalist Hezly Rivera made an early statement Sunday night in Louisville, Kentucky, winning the women’s All-Around title at the 2026 Winter Cup in dominating fashion.

After a slower start to her season in 2025, Rivera returned better than ever by the 2025 Xfinity U.S. Championships last August, winning the All-Around title and taking gold on bars, beam, and floor. An untimely injury just prior to the World Selection Camp took her out of the opportunity to qualify for Team USA at 2025 World Championships.

Shining in bright pink, she was back strong in Louisville with an extremely consistent outing, scoring a 56.750 in the All-Around with huge scores over 14.0 on each event. Rivera also took the title on beam (14.200) and floor (14.100) and won silver on bars (14.300). Notably, she also had the third-highest single-vault score (14.150) of the night, proving once again, she’s right on track for an exciting season ahead and looking to LA 2028 down the road.

Up next, Rivera will head to the American Cup in March, before her run for the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam in October heats up.

In her senior debut, Charleigh Bullock made her own statement, winning All-Around silver (55.200) and bars gold with a 14.400. After a successful junior career, Bullock was ready for Louisville, earning a spot at the American Cup and making the Senior National Team. At the 2025 Junior Pan American Games, she won gold with the team, in the All-Around, and on bars, beam, and floor. Following her success at Pan American Games, she captured a bronze medal with Team USA at Junior Worlds. 

Winning the All-Around bronze medal was 2025 U.S. Classic All-Around Champion Claire Pease, who scored a 54.350 and took the vault title with a 14.050 (14.250; 13.850). An unfortunate injury also took Pease out of competing for a spot in the 2025 World Championships, and we’re so excited to see her back on the competition floor in what could also be an exciting year for her.

Pease will join Rivera and Bullock in Las Vegas in March for the American Cup.
