Overview

  • The 18-year-old posted 15.566 to win the title, finishing ahead of Angelina Melnikova on 14.500, with Yang Fanyuwei also at 14.500 completing the podium.
  • Her victory came a day after a fourth-place finish in the all-around, delivering a swift rebound on her signature apparatus.
  • The win extends a run that includes Olympic gold on uneven bars in Paris last year and world silver in 2023.
  • She changed allegiance from France to Algeria two years ago after a dispute with the French federation and later left her formative club for Dijon, alleging years of "humiliations" and "emprise" by former coaches.
  • Nemour qualified strongly with 15.533 and, performing last in the final, surpassed the target score with a clean, high-difficulty routine.
