Less than three months after the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, 312 elite gymnasts returned to Japan to compete in the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.
The competition in Kitakyushu provided something of a redemption tour for American athletes Leanne Wong and Kayla DiCello. Both traveled to Tokyo over the summer as alternates but neither performed in Olympic competition.
With multiple individual medals up for grabs at the world championships, which did not include a team competition, the pair seized the opportunity to bring home some hardware.
In the all-around final, Wong won silver with high execution scores and solid performances on balance beam and floor exercise.
