Sanne Wevers, 35, and Vera van Pol, 32, have been named in the Dutch women’s gymnastics squad for the World Championships in Rotterdam. The championships are scheduled for 17–25 October at Ahoy.

Naomi Visser, Sanna Veerman and World Championships debutant Vera Ubbink complete the squad. Floor Slooff and Yuna Uljee are reserves. [1]
Van Pol is set to return to international competition after the birth of her daughter in August 2025. She met the required all-around score twice during qualification, ANP reports.

She met the target score on balance beam at the second World Championships qualifier. [1]
