Our group member Anna Rose Johnson takes a have a look at the important thing gamers within the ladies’s and males’s group competitors!
The primary ladies’s remaining to be held in Paris would be the Staff Closing, which is all the time an electrifying competitors and some of the thrilling primetime occasions of all the Video games! Now we have the star-studded U.S. group seeking to take dwelling a gold medal after successful the silver in Tokyo three years in the past, and Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, who at 16 is the youngest competitor in all the U.S. contingent, can be powerful to beat. With depth and dedication on their facet on the 2023 World Championships, Staff USA was golden as soon as once more, successful a file seventh consecutive World group title in Antwerp (167.729) – breaking its tie with the Chinese language males who gained six in a row from 2003 to 2014.
However there are different prime nations that may’t be counted out in Paris! Brazil gained the silver (165.530), its first ever group medal at a World Championships and France took the bronze (164.064), the nation’s first World group medal in 73 years. First up is Brazil, a group that has their very own veteran-filled roster consisting of Rebeca Andrade, Jade Barbosa, Lorrane Oliveira, Flavia Saraiva, and Julia Soares. This group has been superb lately and can look to contend for a medal once more right here in Paris.
Brazil was electrical from starting to finish at Worlds. Of their remaining rotation, they went lights out on vault with Saraiva bringing again her Yurchenko double twist (13.833), Barbosa going a tenth larger with a 13.933, and Andrade practically sticking her Cheng (14.900) to make Brazil’s historic second official. Their ardour by no means wavered and now they’re heading to the 2024 Olympic Video games as World silver medalists.
One other prime contender will in fact be the French group—after their emotional bronze medal end in Antwerp final fall, their group (consisting of Marine Boyer, Coline Devillard, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, Morgan Osyssek, and Ming van Eijken) will certainly be one to observe. Incomes their place within the historical past books at Worlds, France had a spectacular day – the one group to hit all 12 routines. Simply days after locking in a group berth to their dwelling Olympics, de Jesus dos Santos stepped as much as the beam within the remaining rotation realizing a group medal was inside their attain and the chance to clinch France’s first World group medal since 1950 (when the group gained a silver medal) was finally as much as her. She wanted a 13.098 to seal the deal and below the very best quantity of stress attainable she delivered brilliantly, capping off her routine with a caught dismount (14.000) to solidify France’s podium end and create a World Championship reminiscence to final a lifetime.
“We work actually, actually laborious. So it’s an accomplishment well-earned, de Jesus dos Santos stated in Antwerp. “I work laborious, we work laborious and we deserve this medal.”
As the house group, France can be below great stress to repeat their efficiency from Antwerp. In the event that they do, count on a celebration in Bercy Area the likes of which its by no means seen.
Different challengers within the combine for the ladies’s podium will definitely be Nice Britain (with Becky Downie and Alice Kinsella), and Italy (with Alice D’Amato and Giorgia Villa). Japan, who we believed was very a lot in competition for a medal, can be with out 2022 World steadiness beam bronze medalist Shoko Miyata, who withdrew after allegedly breaking the group’s code of conduct by smoking and ingesting alcohol, in keeping with the Japanese Gymnastics Affiliation (JGA). As of now, she is not going to get replaced, leaving the Japanese group with 4 athletes.
