Britain’s Georgia-Mae Fenton was also due to compete alongside Amy. However, unfortunately during the warm up she sustained an injury and following an assessment with British Gymnastics medical staff reluctantly the decision was made that would be unable to compete.

tall gymnasts – Alexander Shatilov
Q: There aren’t many 6 feet tall gymnasts like you. Obviously, such height can be an obstacle for many things in gymnastics. Can it be an advantage sometimes?
A: … I’ve never complained about my height. It actually helped me. I first started catching the attention of judges and fans because I stood out as so tall.
When I went to my first World Championship as a 19 years old everyone was surprised that such a tall gymnast is doing so well. I looked impressive and people remembered me. And I qualified to a final at my first Worlds, so I guess, my height has only been helping me in both gymnastics and regular life.
Q: So, when everyone got used to your height you decided to surprise people with something else and grew a beard?

Iowa State Gymnastics superstitions
Johnson: “This year I’ve had to have a Red Bull before every meet. That’s the only thing really.”
Sievers: “We started a thing at the beginning of the season where you’re presenting to your team because you’re competing for the team, not for the judges or anyone else. Even in practice, I present to my team before I go, I do that in meets too, reminding myself I’m competing for them, not for anyone else.”
