After Team USA’s Heartbreaking Fall, Europe’s Iconic Gymnast Follows Soon at World Artistic Gymnastics Championship 2023

At the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship, the men and women have outshined themselves. While the US teams are high on their A-games, the other teams are not far behind. Clocking a remarkable 167.729, the US women’s team, led by Simone Biles, concluded the sixth day. However, a series of unfortunate events posed an obstruction. While the event started off well, the immediate next incident of Joscelyn Roberson’s fall raised concern.

After the 17-year-old’s World Championships dream crash, another gymnast fell into the devil’s mouth. Even though no serious injuries were reported, the seriousness of the situation needed examination.

Gymnastics starlet’s vault fall

The Irish-born, English-groomed artistic gymnast Jessica Gadirova has several accolades to her name. Moreover, with her gold clinch at the European Championships in Antalya, T?rkiye, she proved her gymnastic prowess. The 3-time European champion is a talented 19-year-old and the women’s final day of the World Championships seconds the statement after her vault landing.

A member of the gymnastic-verse took to his ‘X’ to post a one-liner, hinting at the poor apparatus settings. They wrote, “Gadirova crashes her Cheng and after the injury to Roberson earlier, it was quite scary.” The reason why this was posted is that Gadirova’s athletic history had only praises. Not having erred in her signature routine, the concern of the fans seemed justified.

At the European Championships, she needed only 13.800 to be the all-around winner. Instead, she clocked 13.933 to earn the all-around title. Though some setbacks bothered the netizens, they didn’t hold the gymnasts back. Belgium witnessed some terrific displays this time.

A worthy October show

With a team total of 165.530, Brazil, headed by 2022 World all-around champion Rebeca Andrade, won its first-ever medal in the competition. They held their heads up high and captured silver. Moreover, with a third-place finish (164.064), France earned its first team medal at the Worlds since winning silver in 1950. Now, talking about the US women team, everyone was on par with the expectations. Shilese Jones, Wong, and Biles all produced strong Yurchenko double fulls for scores of 14.100, 14.033, and 14.800, respectively. Starting off with a shaky balance beam routine, Wong scored 11.660 after a hard fall. Besides, with 14.300 and 13.600, Biles and Jones anchored the team to victory.
