So, um, it was principally the US and Canada.

The primary day of competitors, which served as qualification and the all-around closing, introduced that this was going to be the Jayla Cling Championship starring Jayla Cling, dropped at you with restricted business interruption by Jayla Cling. She received the all-around comfortably with 55.300, the highest US rating this yr and greatest AA complete from any of the continental championships.

That every one-around title can be the primary of a 6-for-6 medal efficiency for Cling, including crew gold with one other all-around efficiency the following day, after which 3 silvers and a vault bronze throughout the 4 occasion finals the next day. Solely a beam seize in that closing—and a little bit of a Weiler-through-molasses within the bars closing—spoiled what may have been further gold medals for Cling.

Cling’s Lopez second vault was additionally downgraded to pike, although it didn’t finally have an effect on the vault medal standings. One more reason for that Cheng improve. The piked 1.5 doesn’t exist anymore, so it could possibly’t get downgraded.

The shock for the US was Gabrielle Hardie coming by means of as the following most adorned member of the crew in her senior debut, advancing to each of the occasion finals she was eligible for and coming house with a bars gold and ground bronze to go together with her crew gold.

Olympian Hezly Rivera additionally took two particular person medals with bronzes within the all-around and the beam closing. Her AA bronze got here regardless of a two-fall bars routine that had us considering this is able to be one other 2024 Traditional, however she restored order after that and finally simply outdid Dulcy Caylor for third because of a beam rating revision to 13.900, the highest beam rating of the meet. Although that was not her crowning beam achievement of the competitors. It was this factor:

She did a little bit of a sequel for her bronze within the beam occasion closing, although as is typical with sequels, it didn’t stay as much as the unique.

Within the crew closing, the US ladies took gold in a stroll, hitting 12-for-12 and profitable by greater than 13 factors over Canada in second (the qualification margin was 6.5 factors, principally as a result of Canada had a significantly better day). The one query over the US crew gold was whether or not it ought to have been used as a resting alternative for Cling to keep away from three consecutive days of all-around when Caylor was sitting there doing just one occasion.

If not for Cling’s 6-medal efficiency, the 5-medal efficiency of Canada’s new senior nationwide champion Lia Monica Fontaine would have been the discuss of Panama. Or, the solely discuss of Panama.

Fontaine defeated the remainder of the US crew to win silver within the all-around on day 1 and likewise superior to all 4 occasion finals, taking medals in three of the 4 with solely a beam miss to break every part.

The Canadians received the anticipated silver medal within the crew competitors—although falls made issues approach too shut for consolation with Brazil and Argentina—and it appeared just like the story of the meet can be quite a lot of silver medals behind the US crew. However then the Sunday afternoon occasion finals got here.

Lia Redick scored the primary gold of the occasion for the Canadians by avoiding the liquid beam that felled practically each different competitor within the occasion closing. Then, her accomplice in Lia—Lia Monica Fontaine—broke her silver-silver-silver-bronze streak by ending the competitors with a title on ground, the place her double double tuck and crisp flip completion earned her a 5.8 D rating and a fairly comfy victory.

VAULT GOLD
Karla Navas

For some time, it appeared as if Panama’s crew would get caught in “nice job, right here’s your handful of air for ending fifth” territory at their house continental championship, however then Karla Navas confirmed up within the vault closing with a round-off 1/2 on format full and Yurchenko 1.5.

Navas received gold to place a cap on a very glorious occasion for Panama the place the crew certified in fourth (forward of Brazil) and superior six routines into occasion finals, behind solely the US and Canada in that division. Panama’s efficiency right here was a lot, a lot stronger than what we sometimes see from international locations of equal inhabitants and program dimension/accomplishments, and the 150 crew rating in qualification would have simply positioned prime 20 at worlds final quad.

TEAM BRONZE
Luiza Abel
Julia Coutinho
Thais Fidelis
Rebeca Procopio
Gabriela Barbosa

It was a comeback efficiency for crew bronze for the Brazilians after a tough qualification displaying that put then in fifth behind Argentina and Panama. Finally, pulling it collectively on beam is what lifted Brazil again to a extra acquainted rating—led by a 13.600 from Thais Fidelis in her comeback competitors. Whereas there have been a number of extra 11s on this meet than Brazil would sometimes be accustomed to, this was a crew missing the nation’s star gymnasts, so a medal of any type works as a stable end result.

Group Argentina completed 4th and receives commiserations for popping out of this occasion sans {hardware}, displaying constantly glorious work on beam specifically. That the beam closing was denied the presence of Isabella Ajalla shall not be tolerated on this institution.

Raeya Linton practically snatched a medal for Jamaica within the vault closing, displaying two vaults over 9 in execution and reaffirming that the continental championships general have been a good time for Stanford commits.
