Acro athletes secured medals in Poland as the rhythmic Senior National Group gained valuable experience in China over the weekend.
Both U.S. pairs in Europe will return to the country with all-around honors from the 2026 Rzeszow World Cup in Poland.
In their fourth World Cup appearance of the season, the men’s pair of Yaroslav and Vsevolod Ossolodkov (Beaumont, Calif./Incentive – AGT) won their corresponding fourth all-around title this weekend. The brothers scored a 29.190 to win gold ahead of the independent neutral athlete pair in second (28.830) and a Ukrainian pair in third (27.710). With that win, the brother duo also clinched the 2026 World Cup Series gold medal – the second time a U.S. men’s pair has done so after Angel Felix and Braiden McDougall won their title three years ago at the same competition.
The women’s pair of Sydney Padios and Willow Noble, both of Moreno Valley, Calif./Incentive – AGT, took their place on the podium by winning all-around bronze with a 27.750. The duo finished behind Israel in first (29.090) and Great Britain in second (28.000).
Both acro pairs will be back in action this week at the 2026 USA Gymnastics Championships in Tulsa.
