What would I say now?
Andrade🇧🇷 in 2021-2023 was such a dominant force it was evident the sport had a new powerhouse WAG who could rack up a high medal tally for as long as she wants
The prophecy came true because she’s won a whole bunch of medals since then
Natalia Yurchenko🇷🇺 & Olga Bicherova🇷🇺 famously tied for🥇in the 1982 AA, then tied for🥇on VT, then tied for🥈on UB, & split🥇on BB & FX.
To this day Yurchenko🇷🇺 contends this was the favorite competition of her career cuz she got to share all the medals with her best friend
When a head of state comments on a non-Olympic gymnastics competition because you are that much of a pioneer for your country…
Randomly stumbled across this photo a few minutes ago. Little did they know that 11 years later both would STILL be at the top of their game in a Worlds event finals
It wasn’t until I saw this picture that I realized the Jade Barbosa🇧🇷 designed leo that Flavia Saraiva🇧🇷 wore today has a heart in it❤️
Every year I think “wow this picture is peak Flavia” and every year she surpasses it with something new
France🇫🇷 continues one of the strangest stat lines in WAG history.
7 Worlds AA/EF medals in program history, all of them bronze, none of them by the same gymnast.
🥉1950: Lemoine
🥉1995: Furnon
🥉1996: Severino
🥉2007: Vericel
🥉2009: Dufournet
🥉2022: Devillard
🥉2026: Prat
France's WAG program goes back 100 years
Maiana Prat🇫🇷 is their 8th gymnast ever to win a medal in an individual event.
Claire Pease🇺🇸 and Skye Blakely🇺🇸 were so successful at this competition that they both moved into the top-20 all time on the American points rankings.
Claire Pease🇺🇸 and Skye Blakely🇺🇸 both recorded 5 point competitions
Since 2009 only Simone Biles🇺🇸, Kyla Ross🇺🇸, and Morgan Hurd🇺🇸 won that many points in a single competition.
They are the 12th & 13th Americans to do it.
From the country that gave the world a Biles🇺🇸 & Chiles🇺🇸 floor ceremony
Now the sequel
