LIVERPOOL, England—A pair of falls on the balance beam in qualifying cost Jordan Chiles a shot at the world all-around gymnastics title.Chiles essentially assured the US women of a sixth straight world team championship on Tuesday, drilling her beam routine during the three-up/three-count finals as the Americans pulled away from host Britain.
“She needed to do that for herself,” Memmel said. “She needed to do that to prove to herself that she could do that when she needed to. I think she’s going to feel 100 times better going home.” “I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t want them to joke with me that we maybe could be third,” Black said. “I’m just blown away. I’m so proud of the team. Going into the final we were eighth and we said we could only go up from there.”Canada, along with the US and Britain, automatically qualified for the 2024 Olympics a couple of hundred miles away in the City of Lights.
