3-Time Olympian and NBC analyst John Roethlisberger writes a column in each issue of Inside Gymnastics magazine. With competition at the 2025 World Championships kicking off October 19 in Jakarta, Indonesia, for our October/November issue of Inside Gymnastics magazine, we asked John about his predictions for the U.S. Men, who arrive as reigning world and Olympic team bronze medalists.

IN THE KNOW

By John Roethlisberger

The first World Championships of this Olympic cycle are upon us, and with it comes the excitement of what we might see as we head to Los Angeles in 2028! The first Worlds after an Olympics always has some surprises, as we usually see new faces on the awards podium and up-and coming stars.

For the U.S. men headed to Jakarta, we have some very familiar faces, and a great opportunity to bring home some significant hardware. In fact, I think every U.S. gymnast participating in this year’s World Championships has a great chance to bring home a medal, maybe more than one! Let’s start with Asher Hong.

The 2024 Olympian and Stanford Cardinal won the recent U.S. all-around title in dominant fashion. He’s never looked better in the all-around in my opinion, and I think he has a legitimate chance to win an all-around medal as well as a vault medal. He has upgraded his high bar in particular, which helps him significantly. His other “weakness”—pommel horse— also looked much improved. It will be fun to see how he holds up against the best in the world.

Floor will showcase “triple back guy” Kameron Nelson. He’s well-known around the world for being the first to do two triple backs in one routine—one in the piked position and one in the tucked position— and makes them look easy. It’s all about landings on floor. If he lands clean, he has what it takes to make the podium.

On pommel horse, Team USA is sending two medal contenders, Patrick Hoopes (see our story on Patty Hoopes here!) from the Air Force Academy and Brandon Dang (see Brandon’s routine from day 2 at Championships here!) from the University of Illinois. They finished 1-2 at the U.S. Championships, dominating the field with Hoopes securing gold and Dang earning silver. Pommel horse is a tough event to medal on—they need to get into finals, and get a good draw obviously, meaning be near the end of the line-up.

Rings will be another fun one. The word is Donnell Whittenberg has competed the highest start value on rings so far in this new Olympic cycle. The biggest reason is the Whittenburg, a triple pike dismount which is named for him. His medal hopes, in my opinion, will come down to that dismount. If he lands clean, I think he’s on the podium. If he sticks it, maybe it will be gold!

High bar is the other great shot at a medal for the Americans. Brody Malone will attempt to repeat his 2022 accomplishment, when he won gold in this event at the World Championships. He’s got some big gymnastics here and a huge start value, but as we all know, you have to catch the bar and hit handstands. This gold medal will simply come down to who does that best.

All in all, the U.S. men are sitting on seven potential medals. It’s unlikely every one of those chances come through, however it still could be one of the most successful World Championships for the American men in history!

How It Works At Worlds

The 2025 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from October 19 to October 25. The event is an individual event and all-around competition only. There is no team event. Athletes will qualify to finals through Qualifications subdivisions.

Preliminary competition in Jakarta will consist of eight men’s and 10 women’s subdivisions, who will take to the apparatus in the Indonesia Arena during the first three days of the World Championships as they attempt to qualify for all-around and apparatus finals.
