Voronezh gymnast Angelina Melnikova is included in the preliminary composition of the Russian national team for the world championship in gymnastics. The tournament will be held in Rotterdam from 17 to 25 October. The preliminary application of the Russian team was published by the International Gymnastics Federation.

The women's list, in addition to Melnikova, included Alena Glotova, Anna Kalmykova, Milana Kayumova and Lyudmila Roshchina.

The men's team's preliminary bid includes Arseny Duchno, Ilya Zaik, Daniel Marinov, Sergey Naidin, Savely Sedin and Alexei Usachev.

At the same time, the final composition of the World Cup participants may still change, since the published list is preliminary.

For the teams, the upcoming tournament has additional significance. Teams that take the top three places in the World Cup men's and women's team tournaments will receive Olympic licenses for the 2028 Games in the United States.
