"Not fair to the athlete": Reese Esponda's floor ruling 😳
"It's also, I think, not fair to the athlete." 😳
The FIG says the twist on Reese Esponda's only forward skill on floor comes too early, so it counts as sideways and no longer meets the forward requirement. Her coach, Patrick Kiens, explains what that means for her routine, days before Worlds.

No More Sitting on the Beam: Jessica's Rules for Mounts
No more sitting on the beam in a split.

Reese Esponda Must Change Her Floor Routine?? | 2026 World Gymnastics Championships
Reese Esponda (USA) has to change her floor routine at the last minute: Jessica O'Beirne reports live from the 2026 World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam after US podium training. Reese's coaches told her the FIG will not give Reese layout credit for her barani, leaving her routine missing a front flipping skill. Jessica notes Reese competed the same thing at an FIG event, where it was credited, and there's no word yet on why the FIG has changed the way it credits this forward skill.

"Not Fair to the Athlete": Reese Esponda's Coach on Her Floor Change | 2026 Gymnastics Worlds
83 minutes ago
Why does Reese Esponda (USA) have to change her floor routine days before the 2026 World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam? Her coach, Patrick Kiens, explains the FIG's ruling: the twist timing on her forward skill is judged too early, so it counts as a sideways skill and no longer fulfills the forward requirement. He notes Reese competed the element at Jesolo, an FIG-sanctioned meet, and in front of Category 1 and 2 judges without it being flagged: "To hear it now just a few days before World Championships is a little bit harsh. It's also, I think, not fair to the athlete." He also covers what it means for her D-score, consistency and the U.S. lineup, and the likely replacement.
