WATCH: Shilese Jones' mother tears up at the world champion's uneven bars performance despite injury during vault warmup

Shilese Jones' mother was in tears after watching her perform on the uneven bars after experiencing an unfortunate event during the vault warmup. Jones showed exceptional gymnastics proficiency and determination during Day 2 of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials.

Jones, along with other elite athletes, including Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and Kayla DiCello is competing at the Olympic Trials held at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota to secure her first Olympic quota ahead of the Paris Games. On Day 2 of the Trials, Jones participated in the vault warmup session, where she tumbled forcefully while performing a double-twisting Yurchenko.

The 21-year-old had to be carried off the mat with the help of coach Sarah Korngold and the medical team after what seemed like she injured her lower limb area and knee. Unfazed by the brutal fall, the two-time world champion displayed unwavering determination and competed in the uneven bars.

A heartwarming moment unfolded before the fans at the Target Center as Jones' mother was seen welling up with tears, overwhelmed by pride after her daughter's performance. Watch the video here:

Shilese Jones reached the last leg of the U.S. women's selection for the Paris Olympics after navigating through a series of injuries. She competed at the U.S Core Hydration Classic held on May 17 and 18, 2024 at the XL Center in Connecticut.

She finished second behind Biles in the all-around event and floor exercise. Moreover, she also grabbed the top place in her pet event, the uneven bars. During the Core Hydration Classic, Jones sustained a severe injury in her shoulder.

The two-time world championships gold medalist has been navigating through persistent injury in her right shoulder for the past two years, including a small tear in her right labrum.

The repeated injury on the right shoulder at the Core Hydration Classic forced the American gymnast to withdraw from competing in the 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships, held from May 30 to June 2, at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

Following the withdrawal, Shilese Jones issued a petition to compete in the U.S. Olympics Gymnastics Trials to earn her debut spot. The petition was granted, recognizing that she met all the standards, which included competing at two World Championships and in two events at the last U.S. Classic.
