Overview

• Rivera announced on Instagram that she recently rolled her ankle and, after consulting her doctor and coaches, will skip the selection camp to focus on recovery and a 2026 return.
• The U.S. women’s selection camp runs Sept. 30–Oct. 2 in Crossville, Tennessee, with the day-one all-around winner earning an automatic spot and three more athletes named after two days of evaluation.
• USA Gymnastics told Inside Gymnastics there will be no replacement athletes for withdrawals, leaving eight entrants for camp: Skye Blakely, Dulcy Caylor, Jayla Hang, Gabrielle Hardie, Joscelyn Roberson, Simone Rose, Ashlee Sullivan and Leanne Wong.
• Selection procedures allow petitions for injured athletes with major credentials, though reported deadlines this week suggest Rivera’s pathway was limited by timing.
• Rivera, 17, is the reigning U.S. champion and Paris 2024 team gold medalist who posted the top American all-around score this year and was seen as a medal threat on bars, beam and floor.
