I’m old enough to remember when Gymnastics coaches thought gymnasts of African heritage were usually too tall, too heavy to be great at our sport. They actively recruited children of Asian heritage.
We were wrong.
Andrade, Biles and Chiles captured gold, silver and bronze in the women’s floor final. It was the first Olympic gymnastics podium with three Black women. …
The podium also represented 20 Olympic medals with Biles owning 11, Andrade six and Chiles three.

Handing out medals to just a few is only one small goal of the Olympic Movement.
Motivating children to do sport — I’d argue — is much more important.
Rebeca, Simone, Ellie would all be competitive in 2028.
What!?
🥇 Rebeca Andrade 🇧🇷 14.166
🥈 Simone Biles 🇺🇸 14.133
🥉 Jordan Chiles 🇺🇸 13.766
More falls and errors than I expected.
Angel is the youngest competitor in the Men’s competition.
Too. Many. Falls.
Greatest of all time is now even greater all time.
As expected, China dominated Rings as they have for many years now. France narrowly 4th.

The most anticipated WAG Final did not disappoint. Most agree that Kaylia was the deserving champion. I’d argue she’s the greatest Bars worker of all time.

3. Sunisa Lee, United States, 14.800

5. Alice D’Amato, Italy, 14.733
Everyone’s favourite gymnast, Carlos Yulo, won both Floor and Vault in Paris. He’s a past world champion on both — but the competition was fierce on both in Paris.
1. Carlos Yulo, Philippines, 15.116
2. Artur Davtyan, Armenia, 14.966
3. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain, 14.949
