The U.S. women's gymnastics team selection for the World Championships in Rotterdam was detailed in a recent special.
Claire Pease and Charleigh Bullock earned their spots on the senior world team by achieving the top all-around scores. These scores were a combination of their performance at the August Xfinity U.S. Championships and a recent two-day selection event in Crossville, Tennessee, with the selection event weighted at 60% and the championships at 40%.
Following the selection competition, a committee finalized the five-woman roster. The remaining members include 2024 Olympic gold medalist Hezly Rivera, experienced world team member Skye Blakely, and Reese Esponda, who is making her global championship debut.
This marks the first major team competition since the 2024 Paris Olympics. The U.S. women's team boasts an impressive legacy, having won the last seven women's team titles at the World Championships dating back to 2011. Additionally, the U.S. has consistently placed at least one gymnast on the podium in the individual all-around at every Olympics and World Championships since 2003.
