Hashimoto Crowned Three-Time World All-Around Champion in Gymnastics
The gymnastics world witnessed a remarkable display of talent at the 2025 World Gymnastics Championships held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Daiki Hashimoto, the reigning Olympic All-Around Champion, achieved a historic milestone by securing his third consecutive World All-Around title.
Hashimoto’s Triumph
Hashimoto showcased his extraordinary skills throughout the competition. He capped off his day with a stunning double twisting double layout on the high bar, earning an impressive score of 14.700. This performance exemplified his experience and confidence, earning him the adoration of the crowd.
A Journey of Redemption
This victory marked Hashimoto’s return to the top, especially after leading the Japanese team to a gold medal at the 2024 Olympic Games, albeit without an individual medal to his name. His journey toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is set to be legendary.
Competitive Landscape
Taking home the silver medal was Zhang Boheng from China. The 2021 World All-Around Champion gave a masterful performance on the rings, achieving the highest score of the day at 14.600. Boheng, who also secured silver at the 2022 World Championships, continues to build a formidable rivalry with Hashimoto.
Surprising Bronze Medal Winner
Newcomer Noe Seifert from Switzerland made headlines by winning the bronze medal. This achievement marks his first-ever world medal and the first all-around medal for the Swiss men’s team in 75 years. Seifert delivered an outstanding performance, particularly on the pommel horse and a phenomenal high bar routine that ended with a perfect dismount.
Leading Medalists
- Gold: Daiki Hashimoto (Japan)

Other Notable Performances
Oka Shinnosuke, another prominent figure in gymnastics and reigning Olympic All-Around Champion, began the competition strongly. However, a fall during the floor routine in the fourth rotation hindered his chances for a medal, leaving him in fourth place.
This championship solidified Hashimoto’s status as a leading figure in men’s gymnastics, setting a compelling stage as this dynamic sport progresses toward future competitions.
