PESARO, Italy – Coming off a strong performance by junior athletes, 10 U.S. seniors will continue in Italy for the 2026 Acrobatic World Championships from September 24-27.
Chasing their first senior World Championships medal in Pesaro will be Yaroslav and Vsevolod Osslodokov, who come into the competition as the reigning U.S. and World Cup Series men’s pair champions following their four World Cup wins in the men’s pair division just this season. In 2024, the brothers won men’s pair all-around gold at the Junior World Championships in Portugal.
Joining the brothers in Italy will be 2026 U.S. women’s pair all-around champions Sydney Padios and Willow Noble; 2026 U.S. women’s group all-around champions Juli Williams, Carmelle Djoumgoue and Aubrie Cunningham; and 2026 U.S. women’s group all-around silver medalists Roni Azerrad, Layla DeVaul and Ayden Rawls-Blodgett.
The delegation will aim to improve on the three medals won by seniors at the 2024 World Championships in Portugal, where the U.S. claimed two bronze and one silver medal.
