Artistic Gymnastics: Women’s Team Final

As a gymnastics enthusiast and someone who has experienced the pressure and excitement of competing at the highest level, I deeply admire Simone Biles’ exceptional talent and skill. However, I also empathize with the challenges facing Team GB in this Olympic cycle. The absence of Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova due to major injuries and Ondine Achampong’s torn anterior cruciate ligament has left a significant gap in our roster.


Simone Biles stands out as exceptional, yet she cannot deliver a team victory on her own. The British team, 2021 Olympic bronze medalists, is facing challenges as Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova are injured, and Ondine Achampong has torn her anterior cruciate ligament. It’s a difficult situation, but when it comes to gymnastics competitions where only the top three scores count on each apparatus, success depends on the day. The cameras in Tokyo paid little attention to the British team until their medal-winning performance, which came as a surprise to many! However, competing against the US team is not an easy feat.
