Olympic gold medalist Hezly Rivera surges to the lead at the U.S. gymnastics championships
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Hezly Rivera cruised to the lead at the U.S. gymnastics championships on Friday night, putting together four steady and occasionally excellent routines on her way to a 55.600, putting her in strong position to claim her first national title on Sunday. Rivera, the youngest member of the five-woman team that cruised to gold at the 2024 Olympics, bounced back from a bumpy performance at the U.S. Classic last month. The now 17-year-old posted the top score on balance beam (14.350) and the second-highest score on floor exercise (14.000) to lead a very young field taking their first tentative steps toward the world championships this fall and — well down the road — the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
