American Gymnast Skye Blakely's Long Road to the Top Ends with Gold at the World Championships
Nemour’s 15.333 routine earned the day’s top score as Skye Blakely added bronze and Rebeca Andrade won gold on vault.
- On Friday, October 23, 2026, American Skye Blakely won the women's individual all-around gold medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam, scoring 55.733 to claim her first individual world title.
- Blakely's comeback follows a ruptured right Achilles tendon that derailed her 2024 Paris Olympics bid and an elbow ligament tear that forced her to miss the 2021 Olympic trials, ending consecutive Olympic dreams.
- Demonstrating composure on beam, Blakely scored 14.200 to secure her lead. "I am capable, I am ready," she told reporters, reflecting on her resolve to fight for her past selves from 2021 and 2024.
- Blakely finished ahead of silver medalist Liudmila Roshchina of Russia and bronze medalist Ke Qinqin of China , becoming the ninth American woman to win the world all-around crown.
- As the competitive field grows for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Blakely's breakthrough establishes her as a premier contender. She also earned bronze on the uneven bars during Saturday's event finals.
