As revealed by the sources, the stakes were high for the 21-year-old gymnast as she nailed a double layout to open her floor routine. However, a sudden exit, by an almost tearing-up Thomas, out of the mat left the audience in question. She suffered a lower right leg injury and her status remains ‘day-to-day.’?

Reportedly, the three-time NCAA gold medalist’s career boasts 27 perfect 10s and is one point away from breaking the all-time NCAA record. It was set in 1996 by Kentucky?s Jenny Hansen and equaled in 2004 by UCLA?s Jamie Dantzscher. Nevertheless, her team survived the blow and advanced with an overall team score of 197.875.?
