Ukraine's men's artistic gymnastics team accomplished its main goal at the 2026 European Championships in Zagreb: in an updated lineup, the team qualified in the team all-around and guaranteed its participation in the upcoming World Championships. This is reported by Sport RBC.UA, citing the official website of the European Gymnastics Union. The Ukrainians scored 236.794 points in the team qualification and finished 12th, which was not enough to advance to the final of the European championship (the top eight teams advanced), but it was sufficient to earn a ticket to the Olympic... that is, the World Championships: according to the regulations, the top 13 teams qualified for the World Championships. ### Lineup and Debutants In the qualification, Ukraine was represented by Vladyslav Hryko, Mykola Melnykov, Bohdan Suprun, Sviatoslav Shved, and Yehor Perepelkin. A significant update to the lineup is noted: Sviatoslav Shved and Bohdan Suprun competed at a senior European Championship for the first time in their careers, while Mykola Melnykov returned to the national team for the first time in four years. It was precisely the combination of experienced gymnasts and debutants that allowed the team to keep its result within the qualification zone for the World Championships. ### Individual Results In addition to the team result, Ukrainian gymnasts demonstrated solid individual performances. In the individual all-around, Vladyslav Hryko finished 18th and Mykola Melnykov 21st (both made the top 25). On individual apparatuses, Bohdan Suprun placed 16th on the rings (13.833), Vladyslav Hryko placed 16th on the horizontal bar (13.700), and Mykola Melnykov placed 21st on the pommel horse (13.733). These results confirm that the team has a reserve of strength in the individual standings as well. ### Context and the Upcoming World Championships The 2026 World Championships will be held from October 17 to 25 in Rotterdam (Netherlands). For Ukraine's men's team, this will be a return to the team competition at the world level: the last time the team competed in the team event at the World Championships was in 2023, when it earned an Olympic license. Earlier, Ukraine's women's team also qualified for the 2026 World Championships in an updated lineup for the first time in four years, and its athlete Taisiia Onofriichuk has already won the first "gold" at the World Championships. ### Contradictory Data The sources contain a discrepancy in the chronology of the men's team's "return": the headline of the Sport RBC.UA article frames the event as "for the first time in three years," while the main text and the context of the women's team's selection use the phrasing "for the first time in four years." The difference is probably explained by the fact that in one case the count starts from the last team appearance at the World Championships (2023), while in the other it refers to a broader period of absence from world finals. In addition, open sources mention a separate qualifying match between the Ukrainian and French teams in Poland as part of preparation for the 2026 World Championships, dated 2025; this material does not match the chronology of the qualification at the 2026 European Championships in Zagreb and may relate to a different stage or a different sport, so it is not taken into account in this article as confirmation of the qualification fact. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [For the first time in three years: Ukraine's men's gymnastics team advances to the 2026 World Championships](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/othersport/vpershe-tri-roki-cholovicha-zbirna-ukrayini-1787210328.html) - ΠŸΠ΅Ρ€Π²ΠΈΡ‡Π½Ρ‹ΠΉ источник: состав, 236,794 Π±Π°Π»Π»Π°, 12-Π΅ мСсто, Ρ€Π΅Π³Π»Π°ΠΌΠ΅Π½Ρ‚ ΠΊΠ²Π°Π»ΠΈΡ„ΠΈΠΊΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΠΈ 13 ΠΊΠΎΠΌΠ°Π½Π΄, Π΄Π°Ρ‚Ρ‹ ЧМ Π² Π ΠΎΡ‚Ρ‚Π΅Ρ€Π΄Π°ΠΌΠ΅, ΠΈΠ½Π΄ΠΈΠ²ΠΈΠ΄ΡƒΠ°Π»ΡŒΠ½Ρ‹Π΅ Ρ€Π΅Π·ΡƒΠ»ΡŒΡ‚Π°Ρ‚Ρ‹. - [Ukraine's all-around champion excluded from the World Championship roster](https://sportmail.ru/article/gymnastics/71942739/) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π½ΠΎ ΠΏΠΎ источнику sportmail.ru - [Ukraine in an updated lineup enters the top 12 at the European Championships and advances to the World Championships](https://sport.ua/news/899741-ukraina-v-obnovlennom-sostave-voshla-v-top-12-che-i-vyshla-na-chm) - НСзависимоС ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Ρ„Π°ΠΊΡ‚Π° Π²Ρ‹Ρ…ΠΎΠ΄Π° Π² Ρ‚ΠΎΠΏ-12 Ρ‡Π΅ΠΌΠΏΠΈΠΎΠ½Π°Ρ‚Π° Π•Π²Ρ€ΠΎΠΏΡ‹ ΠΈ ΠΊΠ²Π°Π»ΠΈΡ„ΠΈΠΊΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΠΈ Π½Π° Ρ‡Π΅ΠΌΠΏΠΈΠΎΠ½Π°Ρ‚ ΠΌΠΈΡ€Π° Π² ΠΎΠ±Π½ΠΎΠ²Π»Ρ‘Π½Π½ΠΎΠΌ составС. - [Ukrainian and French teams to meet in Poland as part of selection for the 2026 World Championships](https://www.rfi.fr/ru/%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%82/20250905-%D1%81%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5-%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8B-%D0%B8-%D1%84%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8-%D0%B2%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%81%D1%8F-%D0%B2-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%88%D0%B5-%D0%B2-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%85-%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%BA-%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83-%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0-2026) - ΠœΠ°Ρ‚Π΅Ρ€ΠΈΠ°Π» Π΄Π°Ρ‚ΠΈΡ€ΠΎΠ²Π°Π½ 2025 Π³ΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΠΌ ΠΈ описываСт ΠΎΡ‚Π±ΠΎΡ€ΠΎΡ‡Π½Ρ‹ΠΉ ΠΌΠ°Ρ‚Ρ‡ Π² ПольшС; хронология ΠΈ контСкст Π½Π΅ ΡΠΎΠ²ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π°ΡŽΡ‚ с ΠΊΠ²Π°Π»ΠΈΡ„ΠΈΠΊΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΠ΅ΠΉ Π½Π° Π§Π•-2026 Π² Π—Π°Π³Ρ€Π΅Π±Π΅, поэтому Π² ΡΡ‚Π°Ρ‚ΡŒΡŽ ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Π½Π΅ Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡŽΡ‡Ρ‘Π½. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: How did Ukraine's men's team qualify for the 2026 World Championships? **A:** The team finished 12th in the team qualification at the 2026 European Championships in Zagreb with a score of 236.794 points.
