Mélanie – 4 apparatus in Team

The happiest team in Antwerp was France, finishing 3rd.

It reminded me of Canada finishing 3rd in 2022 Liverpool.

Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos was a rock.

Barbara Achondo Andino – Floor

A lovely routine. Barbara was a fan favourite at PanAms Santiago, representing Chile.

The pause before her final tumbling pass was … long.

But give Barbara a break. She’s 40 years old. Had retired at age-17. Returned to the sport in 2011.
