Jakarta Gymnastics 2025: Guide to the World Championships
What to expect at Jakarta Gymnastics 2025?
The 2025 Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, are scheduled to be held from October 19 to 25. This event marks the inaugural occasion on which Indonesia will serve as the host for a major Artistic Gymnastics competition. The event will mark the 3rd occasion on which the World Championships are hosted in the Southern Hemisphere, following the Brisbane 1994 and Melbourne 2005.
The competition will take place in the Indonesia Arena, in the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, which is located in the Jakarta-Pusat district, also called Jakarta-Centre.
In accordance with the tradition established for World Championships following an Olympic year, the 53rd edition will not feature a Teams competition. Instead, the championships will include only the individual finals, consisting of 7 Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) and 5 Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) events.
At the 2025 World Championships in Jakarta, each nation is permitted to enlist six male gymnasts and four female gymnasts. The FIG initially established a format that permitted a country to send only three athletes per gender, with a maximum of two individuals competing on each apparatus. However, in 2024, the FIG declared its decision to revert to the prior format of individual World Championships, thereby allowing a federation to bring a total of six male gymnasts and four female gymnasts, with a maximum of three individuals permitted to compete on each apparatus.

Jakarta Gymnastics 2025
Neutral Ground, Uneasy Landings…
It marks the first occasion in over 30 months that Russian and Ukrainian gymnasts will participate in the same competition. Last month, Ukraine withdrew from the 2025 Paris World Cup in protest against the inclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under neutral status; this decision was reached by the Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation to challenge the sportwashing efforts of the aggressor state. The protest came in response to the approval of Angelina Melnikova and other AIN gymnasts by the FIG, despite the concerns surrounding their political affiliations.
As of September 25, 2 male gymnasts from Belarus and 4 gymnasts from Russia have finalized their registration. Notably, two Russian gymnasts have yet to receive their neutral status. The 2025 World Championships in Jakarta marks the first occasion since the Doha World Cup in March 2022 that male gymnasts from Russia are permitted to compete in an event sanctioned by the FIG. So together, technically…
The 2022 Doha Cup was overshadowed by controversy involving Russian gymnast Ilian Kulak, who displayed a “Z” sticker on his chest during the medal ceremony for the parallel bars competition. This sticker has been adopted as a symbol associated with the Russian Army in Ukraine, representing pro-war sentiments. Kulak presented this symbol while on the podium alongside (then) Ukrainian gymnast Illia Kovtun, the event’s champion. In response, the FIG initiated disciplinary proceedings against Kulak, who expressed no regrets and stated he would act in the same manner if given the opportunity. Subsequently, he attended a rally in Moscow alongside Olympic medalists, wearing an Olympic medal, despite never having participated in the Olympics or securing a medal.
Before the war.
After two years and a half apart, Ukrainian and Russian gymnasts might find themselves “reunited” – though “together again” feels more like “together, sort of”. The setting is neutral, but not natural; a shared podium that still signals separate worlds. On paper, the 2025 World Championships in Jakarta is just another meet, business as usual, yet the atmosphere carries its own balance check. And for Ukrainians, the war is not an abstraction: competing against athletes tied to a regime waging destruction at home can sharpen every landing.
