American Gymnast Skye Blakely’s Long Road to the Top Ends with Gold at the World Championships
Blakely scored 55.733 to win her first individual world title after two years away from the all-around because of major injuries.
- American Skye Blakely won gold in the individual all-around at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam on Friday, securing her first solo title after completing an error-free floor exercise.
- Blakely's career has been hampered by injuries, forcing withdrawal from two Olympic Games; a torn elbow ligament sidelined her from the Tokyo Games, and a ruptured Achilles ruled her out before the 2024 Olympic Trials.
- The 21-year-old Texan finished with a score of 55.733 across vault, bars, beam, and floor events, edging Russian Roshchina, who took silver with 55.199, and Chinese Qinqin, who earned bronze with 55.032.
- Algeria's Kaylia Nemour finished fourth after nearly missing the springboard during her opening vault, while British duo Alice Kinsella and Abi Martin placed 13th and 18th respectively.
- Blakely previously collected two team golds, including one in 2023 in a quartet led by star gymnast Simone Biles, who is absent from Rotterdam as the Gymnastics World Championships conclude.
