Angelina Melnikova Captures Second World All-Around Title at 2025 Gymnastics Championships
Angelina Melnikova has achieved a remarkable feat by winning her second World All-Around title at the 2025 Gymnastics Championships. This prestigious event showcased the best of women’s gymnastics, culminating in an intense final rotation filled with ups and downs.
Final Rotation Highlights
During the final rotation, Melnikova faced a significant challenge on the balance beam. She began with a strong routine, connecting her switch leap mount into another switch leap. However, she encountered difficulties, running out of bounds during her acrobatic series and falling, which cost her a deduction of 1.000 points. She finished this segment with a score of 12.800.
Melnikova acknowledged her struggle with the balance beam, stating, “I have an issue with beam. I think it’s more of a psychological one.” She expressed her intention to revise her routine to overcome her current mental block.
Nemoaur and Wong’s Performances
With Melnikova’s fall, the opportunity opened for her competitor, Nemour, who was in second place at that point. Unfortunately, she also faced difficulty, failing to execute her double wolf turn, resulting in a score of 13.066. Despite her strong start, she later faltered in her floor exercise, eliminating her from medal contention.
On the other hand, Wong was having a steady day and entered the final rotation in fourth place. She delivered an impressive performance, achieving a score of 14.466 on the floor exercise, which was the highest score of that night. Wong temporarily took the lead, marking a strong finish to her routine.
Melnikova’s Victory
As the competition intensified, all eyes were on Melnikova for her final floor routine. Needing a score higher than 13.366 to secure the championship, she performed under pressure. When her score of 13.466 was revealed, it confirmed her victory and solidified her status as a top gymnast.
