As a result, the Texan lost a point on her execution score. She was docked another half point due to the presence of her trainer Cecile Landi on the side of the mat. “I couldn’t have dreamt it, but it suits me!” she said of her three medals won in the Flemish port city. “It represents all my work and all the work of my team.”“It’s such a beautiful jump! Of course, it was an opportunity for me to win,” she admitted.‘Something very special’“I take a lot of inspiration from Simone, she’s very important for sport and for gymnastics. So being by her side is something very special, we always encourage each other,” she confided.
A few moments after her vault medal, the four-time Olympic champion was back on the competition stage to take part in the uneven bars, the apparatus which is her least successful.
