American Skye Blakely took bronze with a score of 14.600. This result represents the first and only medal for the German Gymnastics Federation at this specific championship event.

Helen Kevric secured silver at the World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam after overcoming a severe injury. The 18-year-old gymnast from MTV Stuttgart finished second on the uneven bars with a score of 14.833 points. She trailed only defending champion Kaylia Nemour of Algeria, who claimed gold with 15.333 points. Sky Blakely of the United States took bronze with 14.600 points. This achievement represents the biggest success of Kevric’s career. Kevric made her world championship debut in this competition. She had already impressed during qualification by finishing as the second-best athlete. In the final round involving eight competitors, she performed a flawless routine. This marks her second individual medal at international championships, following her European title on her preferred apparatus last August. Before the final, Kevric described Nemour as a tough and strong athlete. Nemour dominated the event, securing her third world championship medal on the uneven bars. Her previous medals include silver in 2023 and gold in 2025. Unlike the all-around final held Saturday, where she missed a medal by 0.034 points, Nemour was unbeaten in this specific discipline. For the German Gymnastics Federation, this is the sole medal won in Rotterdam. It is also the first women’s world championship podium finish since Pauline Schaefer-Betz earned silver on the balance beam in 2021. No other German athletes qualified for equipment finals. Both the men’s and women’s teams failed to advance to their respective team finals. Additionally, no German gymnasts participated in the women’s all-around final. Among the men, Timo Eder placed 14th in the all-around competition.
