American gymnast Skye Blakely won the women's all-around title at the world gymnastics championships in Rotterdam.
American gymnast Skye Blakely won the women's all-around gold at the world gymnastics championships in Rotterdam on Friday, scoring 55.733. The 21-year-old from Dallas executed four stellar routines with no major form breaks or falls, delivering a dazzling performance on uneven bars and a steady display on balance beam.
Liudmila Roschina earned silver at 55.199, whilst Ke Qinqin of China took bronze at 55.032. Algerian gymnast Kaylia Nemour, 19, finished fourth and missed out on becoming the first gymnast from Africa to win an all-around title at worlds. Nemour's finals began poorly when her feet did not land squarely on the springboard during vault, forcing her to perform a simpler vault that cost her points, though she recovered with a standout uneven bars routine.
Blakely broke into tears after completing her floor exercise, the final rotation of the competition. Her victory came after a lengthy rehabilitation period following injuries that derailed her bids to make the 2020 and 2024 U.S. Olympic teams, according to reports.
