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.

One awkward landing on the vault …

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.

Gold medal on Vault at Asian Championships.

After multiple injuries and a doping suspension, we can be happy for her.

Coach Bisheshwar Nandi:

… adds that he’s never known a gymnast in India like Dipa, which saw him work beyond his retirement for three extra years to help her get redemption.

“See, India is a massive country and you might just find someone even better than her in the future. But I’ve never seen anyone as dedicated, stubborn, fearless, aggressive and a focussed gymnast like Dipa. I doubt I ever will. …
