The German men are hoping for a successful showing at home.
The FIG has released the nominative rosters for this year’s world championships, to be held beginning October 4 in Stuttgart, Germany.
With about three weeks to go, several federations have also announced their teams, and we’re expecting many more to become public in the coming weeks. A full list of all teams is below, and we’ll change the “nominative” status to official once the rosters are announced by each federation.

No Epke, no Kohei, no Kenzo… the floor and the high bar finals will be interesting. The AA and team finals will also be exciting after what happened last year in Doha between the Russians and the Chinese. It’s between Nikita, Xiao Ruoteng and Artur. Although Sam Mikulak or Kazuma can really achieve something this year. And I’m really looking forward to Carlos Edriel Yulo.
Watching some of the teams, you really wonder how some delegations choose their gymnasts….

The Netherlands has their second qualification for the MAG this weekend. It is not decided yet if Epke will go or not. So we will see after the weekend.

Ah thanks…I don’t know their process and how they want to balance their team. For example France has selected 2 specialists (Tomasone on PH and Samir on SR), 1 experienced AA (Loris) and 2 “new” AAers (Kevin and Julien) so it’s going to be interesting to see if they can still reach the Top 12 with such a combination. The Dutch team had higher results in 2018 but Epke contributed to 2 events with high scores and is more regular than Cyril Tomasone.

Marcel Nguyen is out due to a shoulder injury and is replaced by alternate Philipp Herder. That must be hard for Marcel not to compete in his own country.

France: Kevin Carvalho replaced Antoine Borello in the team after the Paris Cup but Kevin got injured during the training camp in Germany just before Stuttgart. So Antoine is replacing the gymnast that replaced him.
TLDR: Antoine Borello is back in the team after being kicked out after the Paris Cup.
