Ruby Evans, a 17-year-old gymnast from Wales, competed in her first Olympic Games on Sunday morning, participating in the artistic gymnastics qualification event. While Evans was unable to secure a place in any individual apparatus finals after the conclusion of subdivision 2, Team GB remains in a strong fourth place overall.
Despite missing out on individual finals, Evans and her team-mates still have a chance to compete in the women's team event on Tuesday evening, provided Team GB stays within the top eight.
Evans currently sits in 17th place in the all-around standings, with the top 24 gymnasts advancing to the final. However, her team-mates Georgia-Mae Fenton and Alice Kinsella are ranked higher, and only two athletes per nation can progress to the all-around final.
Therefore, Evans' participation in the final will hinge on the performance of her team-mates and the final standings, which will be determined on Sunday evening.
Evans' performance in her debut Olympic Games has been met with praise and support, despite her individual finals setback. Her focus now shifts towards the team event, where she will be aiming to contribute towards Team GB's success and hopefully secure a place on the podium.
