Great Britain's Jake Jarman has set his sights on winning floor and vault gold at the World Championships in Rotterdam this October. The 24‑year‑old added a floor title in Jakarta after clinching vault in 2023, positioning the double as a key step toward his 2028 Olympic ambition.

Jarman admits he must balance routine difficulty with execution risk, especially on floor where his routine ranks among the toughest. He flags rings, parallel bars and high bar as weak spots that need polishing before Rotterdam, while the British squad eyes a top‑three finish to lock an automatic berth for Los Angeles 2028.

A return to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow would let Jarman test new elements after his four‑gold haul in Birmingham 2022, though the event’s future remains uncertain. He also welcomes Max Whitlock’s comeback, viewing the triple Olympic champion’s presence as a benchmark as Jarman prepares for Rotterdam and the road to LA.
