2026 African Championships (Worlds Qualification)

I am glad other people are asking this because I was wondering how continental allocations work too.

What a bummer the team from Chad looks to no longer be training or competing. That was such an awesome story a few years back.

Neymour is still doing a pretty-meh Yurchenko full. This is holding her back in terms of Worlds AA prospects. At this point, if she had a good DTY, she'd be the top gymnast in the world (exception: if Shilese Jones or Rebeca Andrade actually come back, they would be better)

But presumably they have some mechanism for reconsidering the allocation and process.

She has a DTY - she did it at Worlds last year.

IIRC it looked OK-ish in PT but it was badly underrotated in qualifying with hands down

Probably not worth risking an injury by competing it so early in the season

Nemour usually waits to do the DTY until worlds/olympics. She had big errors in prelims and AA finals at worlds last year. She did get 14s on it at the olympics in both rounds. So, as long as she can get back to that level, I think she's in good shape.

Is this the nemour 3?

 

[RichardL]

Is that a double double laid out for the dismount? The video quality is poor...

 

[RedBirdie]

I think she only does one twist. But I agree it's hard to tell from that video quality.

Its a full twist not double
