UCLA Bruins Women's Gymnastics Triumphs in Home Opener
In a remarkable display of skill, Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles achieved her first perfect 10 on the vault during the UCLA Bruins women's gymnastics team's home opener against Nebraska. This performance contributed to UCLA's victory, with the team scoring 197.325 to Nebraska's 195.25. Chiles not only clinched the individual all-around title with a score of 39.675 but also showcased her powerful double twisting Yurchenko vault, which has been a focus of her training. Coach Janelle McDonald praised Chiles for her consistency and execution.
The Bruins demonstrated their depth and talent, sweeping the top three individual spots with Tiana Sumanasekera and Katelyn Rosen also performing exceptionally well. The team emphasized refining their landings and dismounts, particularly on the balance beam, where they improved significantly from previous performances. As they continue to build confidence and consistency, Chiles expressed optimism about the team's potential to compete for a national title this season.
