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.
Simone did not win Olympic Floor
What!?
🥇 Rebeca Andrade 🇧🇷 14.166
🥈 Simone Biles 🇺🇸 14.133
🥉 Jordan Chiles 🇺🇸 13.766
Olympic H Bar Final was …
More falls and errors than I expected.
Angel is the youngest competitor in the Men’s competition.
Olympic Beam Champion Alice D’Amato
Too. Many. Falls.
P Bars God Zou Jinguan
Greatest of all time is now even greater all time.

Rings
As expected, China dominated Rings as they have for many years now. France narrowly 4th.
1. Liu Yang, China, 15.300
2. Zou Jingyuan, China, 15.233
3. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece, 15.100
4. Samir Aït Saïd, France, 15.000
Bars
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.
1. Kaylia Nemour, Algeria, 15.700
2. Qiu Qiyuan, China, 15.500
3. Sunisa Lee, United States, 14.800
4. Nina Derwael, Belgium, 14.766
5. Alice D’Amato, Italy, 14.733
Vault
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

Olympic Champ Kaylia Nemour, Algeria
Does Kaylia EVER miss.
So great. So consistent.
Olympic Vault Champ – Carlos Yulo
An amazing Final.
AND this should put away any discussion of whether or not Yulo should have switched coaches this cycle.
