The penultimate round of the 2024 FIG Gymnastics World Cup series is set to begin in Baku, Azerbaijan today (March 7), and the event promises some thrilling competition. With Olympic qualification quotas on the line and only two rounds left to prove themselves, gymnasts from all over the world will be showing up to do their best.
The venue in Baku will see some intense show-downs, with multiple medalists from the previous editions in Cairo and Cottbus turning up for an encore. In the mix will be China's Huang Zhuofan, the winner of the uneven bars from Cairo. Belgian Nina Derwael, who won the balance beam event back in Egypt is also in the mix, while her compatriot Erika Pinxten has withdrawn due to a back injury.
Algerian sensation Kaylia Nemour will look to make it to consecutive uneven bars titles, after having won the event in Cottbus. India's Pranati Nayak and Belgium’s Maellyse Brassart will look to improve their bronze in the vault and uneven bars, respectively.
The American team for the FIG Gymnastics World Cup will feature 2020 Olympics silver medalist Jordan Chiles, Zoe Miller, 2023 Pan American Games gold medal winner Cameron Bock, and more, after Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee failed to make the cut.
