Everything You Need to Follow the Mediterranean Games

The gymnastics competition at this year’s Mediterranean Games begins in Taranto, Italy this Sunday, and we’ve got everything you need to follow along, including the complete athlete rosters, full schedule, and links for following along via live scores and streams.

What’s at Stake?

Held every four years, the Mediterranean Games are a multi-sport event that bring together athletes from countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. As with most major Games, gymnasts compete for team, all-around, and apparatus medals across several days of action, with the first day of competition serving as both the team final and the qualifier for individual finals, which will be held over the next few days.

Italy, the host country, sent its top teams to the European Championships, but the B teams competing here will still stand out as the primary contenders for many medals on both the MAG and WAG sides, with a top-tier Turkish team also capable of strong results here, while Kaylia Némour will be an individual to watch for WAG, and she’ll also hope to lead Algeria to its first team medal at the Games.

How Can We Follow Along?

The Taranto 2026 website will have live scores linked to each session once the competition begins. I’ve linked to the schedule overview for gymnastics, where you’ll be able to click through each day to see which events are held, which is where the live scores will appear once the sessions are active.

You should be able to stream every event on Eurovision Sport, and we’ll be live blogging some of the sessions if you’re unable to tune in. Right now, I can guarantee the second and third subdivisions of WAG qualifications as well as both the WAG and MAG all-around finals and part of the apparatus finals. Keep an eye out for our links each day!
