The Americans won gold by a comfortable margin at last year’s world championships. Now they return with the sport’s biggest star.
ANTWERP, Belgium — As gymnasts rotated around the world championships arena Thursday, mimicking how they will warm up and then compete on each apparatus once the meet begins this weekend, the U.S. women constantly garnered a crowd. Fans couldn’t attend this training session, but a swarm of cameras followed the Americans from one event to the next, congregating around the podium that elevates the equipment.
When the Americans competed at world championships a year ago, they entered the last rotation of the team final with a significant cushion despite an earlier mistake on beam. They cruised to the gold medal, outscoring second-place Britain by more than three points.
