But the team missed out on making the final

Great Britain’s women’s team narrowly missed out on qualifying to Wednesday's team final at the 2026 artistic gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam.

The GB team of Abi Martin, Alice Kinsella, Alia Leat, Becky Downie MBE and Ruby Evans 158.963 points to place 9th in qualifying one spot and less than half a point of a final place.

But Martin, from Paignton in Devon, qualified for three individual finals, while Kinsella, making the World finals just over a year after giving birth to baby Parker, reached two finals.

Friday’s all-around final will feature Martin and Kinsella, while the pair are also in the floor final on Sunday. Martin will also take part in the vault final on Saturday.

Downie said after “We can be proud of how we battled through and everyone supported each other after such a difficult start on beam. We know this is part of a process building towards LA and next years World Championships which will be a crucial qualifying event for us. We’ll learn a lot from today and the group will be even stronger for it.”
