Other Olympic medalists have signed up for the European Championships, including Romania’s Ana Barbosu, who won bronze in the Paris 2024 floor exercise, and Belgium’s Nina Derwael, who won the Tokyo 2020 uneven bars title.

The men’s competition will include many Olympic medalists, including British bronze medalists Jake Jarman and Harry Hepworth, Rio 2016 still rings champion Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece, and Tokyo 2020 floor gold medalist Artem Dolgopyat of Israel.
