Shilese Jones withdraws from Olympic Trials

Vault landing mats in competition is the biggest RISK for major injury. The FIG really needs to improve that landing surface. Something like what is used in Double-Min would be safer.

Jones is one of three women who saw their hopes of reaching the Olympics end with injuries this week. Skye Blakely, who finished a strong second to Biles at the U.S. Championships last month, tore the Achilles tendon in her right leg during training on Wednesday.

Kayla DiCello, a 2020 Olympic alternate, ruptured her left Achilles tendon on vault on Friday.
