Hiii Gym Fans!
We’re SO back and of course we had to make our comeback BIGGER and better than before. So instead of two separate episodes – one regular DECODED EP and one Worlds Recap EP – we decided to leave them together and give you a JUMBO sized EP. Let’s just call it even after missing last week and getting this week’s up late… okay?
So what can you expect? A wicked fast Top 10 headlines segment, including some worlds content, what you should do with your time now that Worlds is over and a little NCAA news.
BUT the main event – the biggest part of this week’s podcast – is a FULL, IN-DEPTH review of Jakarta 2025. From mishaps to highway robbery… we’re covering it all.
Finally, we wrap up this week’s episode with a Jorda(y)n squared segment that lasts all of about 10 seconds.
We hope you enjoy this mega large episode because lord knows we can’t be doing this all the time!! Back to regular scheduled (and timed) EPs next week.
As always, make sure you are following DECODED wherever you get your podcasts and on social media.
We'll catch you on the flip side!

Welcome back to DECODED. HAPPY WORLDS WEEK!!! We are just a few days away from the start of competition and we are breaking down the individual athletes you might see on the event podiums this year.

Welcome back to the DECODED podcast for episode 4! This week is going to be a big one as we are just two weeks out from our first Worlds of the quad. With that being said, this episode is NOT going to break down the U.S. women’s world team that will be heading to Jakarta this month. Instead, that will be a special episode we’ll release a little later this week!
We did this so we could still bring you the Top 10 gymnastics headlines as well as dive into some other non-Worlds related gym news. This includes remembering the life of Indonesian athlete, 19-year-old Naufal Takdir Al Bari, some major injury updates, and a Szombathely World Challenge Cup recap.
Plus, we're giving you our first overview of what the 53rd World Artistic Gymnastics Championships will look like.
Editor’s note: Olympic Beam Champ Alice D’Amato will not be at the 2025 World Championships as she did not make the Italian World team.
AND! We end on a super sweet story from Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan.
