Trusting herself to keep this super difficult combination IN the routine for Team Finals, here’s what happened.
excited for WHO in Paris?
Olympic Channel asked some of the best gymnasts in the world who they are looking forward to seeing at the 2024 Olympics.
summing-up Team Finals
WAG Team Final in 1-minute
Well.
How do you sum-up one of the most surprising Worlds Team Finals in history?
improving ETHICS / SAFETY
Interesting observation from a top sports journalist.
The top 3 teams at Worlds have all been having a reckoning of how to improve ETHICS / SAFETY — especially because female gymnasts are so young, and the training so intense.
Gymnastics is absolutely the best sport for kids IMHO. But there have been terrible abuses, especially at the highest levels of WAG.

Watching Ellie’s interview was the first time I cried today.
Rebeca’s Bars in Team
Crazy good. The rules don’t reward connected swings nearly as much as they should.

USA wins 6th consecutive Worlds
Top 3 earn automatic team qualification to the Paris Olympics.
🥇 USA 🇺🇸 166.564
🥈 GBR 🇬🇧 163.363
🥉 Canada 🇨🇦 160.563
- Brazil 🇧🇷 159.661
- Italy 🇮🇹 159.463
- China 🇨🇳 157.529
- Japan 🇯🇵 156.964
- France 🇫🇷 155.863
There are MANY stories to tell.
But for me the biggest surprise was Japan. This team with zero Worlds experience were fantastic. Up until their final routine on Bars.
For Worlds 2023 all eyes will be on Japan. These are going to be some of the top gymnasts in the world very, very soon.
