The reigning Olympic champion had to interrupt her exercise after around thirty seconds following an imbalance. She then jumped up again to complete her routine and was credited with a score of 12.533 points (difficulty: 5.8; execution: 6.733).
This is obviously not the start that the Limburger had dreamed of but she nevertheless showed interesting things for the future, in particular with a view to the Paris Olympic Games where she will aim for a final.
For her part, Maëllyse Brassart got off to a remarkable start in her competition, occupying provisional first place after two rotations with 26.633 points (13.100 pts on vault and 13.533 pts on uneven bars). More than ever, the Brussels resident can claim the qualifying place for the Paris Olympics!
