Welcome back to the DECODED podcast for episode 4! This week is going to be a big one as we are just two weeks out from our first Worlds of the quad. With that being said, this episode is NOT going to break down the U.S. women’s world team that will be heading to Jakarta this month. Instead, that will be a special episode we’ll release a little later this week!

We did this so we could still bring you the Top 10 gymnastics headlines as well as dive into some other non-Worlds related gym news. This includes remembering the life of Indonesian athlete, 19-year-old Naufal Takdir Al Bari, some major injury updates, and a Szombathely World Challenge Cup recap.

Plus, we're giving you our first overview of what the 53rd World Artistic Gymnastics Championships will look like.

Editor’s note: Olympic Beam Champ Alice D’Amato will not be at the 2025 World Championships as she did not make the Italian World team.

AND! We end on a super sweet story from Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan.

Make sure to stay tuned for our U.S. Women’s World Team Selection Camp recap coming in the next few days.
