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 🇺🇸Reese & Pease🇺🇸

And she gets 4th place after losing a bronze medal tiebreaker to a rookie😭😭😭 the gym gods can be so cruel
