The Routines We Can't Wait to See This Season

Every season brings new stars, new skills, and routines that leave us wanting to see them again the moment they finish. From athletes stepping into bigger roles to returning veterans ready to showcase upgrades, there are plenty of routines we already have circled on our calendars. These are the routines we can't wait to see when the season gets underway, and the gymnasts who have us especially excited for what's ahead.    Brynnlee Zimmer is one of the gymnasts whose routines we're especially excited to see this season. She's made some big changes this summer, and the difference is already showing. Her already impressive gymnastics looks cleaner, stronger, and upgraded across the board, giving her an entirely new level of presence. We think she could be one of the biggest surprises of the season, and she looks poised to come into the year with a bang. We can't wait to watch her routines on every event and see all of the upgrades she's been putting in the gym come to life.     Abigail Warner is another gymnast who put in the work this summer to refine her skills, make important upgrades, and prepare for a strong junior season. She's taken the time to polish the details while adding difficulty where it counts, and we're excited to see how that work translates when she steps back onto the competition floor. Her bars routine in particular is one we'll be watching closely. Her huge piked Jaeger is always worth a rewatch, but it's the full routine surrounding that skill that makes her such a fun gymnast to watch. With a summer of intentional preparation behind her, we're expecting Abigail to come into her junior season ready to show just how much her gymnastics has continued to grow.     Caitlyn Der Ananian is the kind of gymnast who brings an unmistakable energy to the competition floor. She brings a smile and plenty of personality to her gymnastics, making her routines as fun to watch as they are impressive. She also isn't afraid to go after big skills, attacking them with the confidence and fearlessness that make her gymnastics stand out. After having her season cut short by injury, we're especially excited to see Caitlyn back in action this year. A healthy return will give her the opportunity to show off the gymnastics that makes her such a fun competitor to watch, and we can't wait to see her back on the floor doing what she does best.     Addy Cullen brings all the personality to her floor routine, making it the kind of routine that leaves you wanting to hit replay the second it ends. She combines big, exciting tumbling with college-level choreography and performance quality, creating a routine that feels polished, confident, and completely her own. There's an energy she brings to the floor that makes it hard to look away, and we're excited to see how she builds on that this season. Whatever she has in store for her next floor routine, we're expecting it to be one of the most entertaining routines to watch all season.     Renee Mora brings an unmistakable attack to her gymnastics, pairing confident power with an intensity that makes every routine fun to watch. She goes after her skills with purpose, never shying away from the bigger moments, and that fearless approach gives her gymnastics a presence that stands out on every event. With new upgrades across the board heading into the season, we're excited to see how much more she has added to her routines. We expect to see that signature attack in every routine, with upgraded gymnastics giving her even more opportunities to make an impact from vault to floor.     Arden Kershaw's beam routine was one that stood out last season, immediately grabbing your attention with a front tuck mount and never letting up from there. Her routine is packed with powerful, difficult skills, yet she makes each one look remarkably comfortable and controlled. There's an ease to the way she attacks her biggest elements that makes the routine especially fun to watch, and we're excited to see how she continues to build on it this season. And if her beam doesn't provide enough of a wow factor, her triple full on floor certainly does. With big skills and the confidence to take them on, Arden is a gymnast we'll be watching closely to see what she brings to the floor next season.     Juliana Royer brings impeccable form and attention to detail to every routine, making her gymnastics a joy to watch from start to finish. Her bars are especially impressive, with beautiful toe point and precision throughout every skill and transition. Her Maloney and bail to handstand showcase the kind of clean, intentional gymnastics that makes even the smallest details stand out. That same commitment to form carries across all four events. Her Yurchenko full, in particular, maintains a perfectly extended body position, showing just how much attention she puts into the details of her gymnastics. We can't wait to see that level of precision and polish shine through across all four events this season.     Before a season-ending injury cut her year short, Cori Blocker was putting together routines that left us wanting more. She brings incredible power to her gymnastics, but it's the way she combines that power with personality and artistry that makes her especially fun to watch. Her floor routine is a perfect example, showcasing big gymnastics while still allowing her personality and performance quality to shine through. She brings that same artistry to beam, creating a routine that is both powerful and engaging from start to finish. With her season cut short, we're especially excited to see Cori back in action and can't wait to see what she brings to both beam and floor next season.     Addison Burns' beam routine is one we can't wait to see next season. After such an impressive sophomore campaign on the event, she looks poised to carry that momentum into her junior season. She has a quick, easy confidence in the way she performs each skill, making difficult gymnastics look comfortable without sacrificing the details. She's steady, clean, and precise from start to finish, with even the smallest elements, right down to her footwork, executed with intention. That combination of confidence and consistency makes her beam especially fun to watch, and we're excited to see her continue to build on an already impressive sophomore season.     Ritagya Marria brings power to all four events, making her one of the gymnasts we're especially excited to watch next season. Her vault is particularly intriguing. Her layout Yurchenko is incredibly powerful and clean, with the height she generates and her strong body position making the skill look effortless. She has the kind of power that makes an upgrade feel like a natural next step, and we're excited to see what she brings to the table if she adds even more difficulty next season. No matter the event, Ritagya's ability to generate power will make her a gymnast to watch, and we can't wait to see that power translate into the lineup.     Lexie Liberto's routines stood out last season for the quiet confidence she brought to every event. She has a steady, clean presence that makes her gymnastics easy to watch, with a calmness that allows her skills to speak for themselves. After an injury interrupted her season, Lexie has spent the summer preparing for a strong comeback, and we're excited to see that familiar confidence back on the competition floor. If her summer training is any indication, she'll be ready to bring the same composed, polished gymnastics that made her such a standout last season.     Jenelle Nguefang's power speaks for itself, and it was especially evident on vault and floor last season. She has the kind of explosive power that makes even her biggest skills look effortless, seemingly ricocheting off the floor and launching into each element with ease. That natural power gives her gymnastics an unmistakable presence and makes her routines exciting to watch from the moment they begin. We can't wait to see Jenelle bring that power back to the competition floor next season and see how her performance continues to develop alongside it.     Nova Collins' bars routine was one that kept us watching last season, with her Jaeger in particular providing an instant wow factor. She launches off the bar with impressive amplitude, making the skill a moment you can't help but watch for. But it's the full routine, and the way she moves seamlessly from one skill to the next, that makes her bars so compelling. With summer upgrades and new connections added to the mix, we're especially excited to see what she has in store heading into her senior season. She already had a routine worth watching, and these additions could make her bars even more exciting when she returns to competition.     Katie Abeln's beam routine was one to watch on repeat last season. She brings a steady confidence to the event, pairing it with long, clean lines and beautiful artistry that makes the entire routine feel effortless. Her choreography and skills flow together so naturally that even her tumbling feels like an intentional part of the choreography rather than something separate from it. There's a polish and elegance to the way she moves across the beam that keeps you watching from beginning to end. We're excited to see what Katie brings to the event next season and whether she can make an already standout routine even more memorable.

Every season brings new stars, new skills, and routines that leave us wanting to see them again the moment they finish. From athletes stepping into bigger roles to returning veterans ready to showcase upgrades, there are plenty of routines we already have circled on our calendars. These are the routines we can't wait to see when the season gets underway, and the gymnasts who have us especially excited for what's ahead.
