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.

Caitlyn Der Ananian is a confident, clean competitor who brings consistency and polish across all four events. On beam, she performs with strong form and assurance, highlighted by a back handspring–layout stepout, a Barani, and a roundoff to 1.5 dismount that finishes her routine with control. Vault features a solid Yurchenko full, while bars stand out with a full pirouette into a Gienger release, a bail to handstand, and a full-out dismount that adds real difficulty and flight. On floor, she combines power and presentation with a 1.5 to front pike, a front Rudi, and big, expressive jumps that round out a well-balanced and composed all-around athlete.
