Shilese Jones withdraws from remainder of U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials


Six-time world medalist Shilese Jones has withdrawn from the final day of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, according to USA Gymnastics. 

Jones competed on uneven bars on night one, posting a 14.675 on the apparatus, but then pulled out of the remainder of that night’s competition. 

Jones appeared to injure her knee on vault in the pre-competition warm up, however, no diagnosis has been confirmed.

Jones also withdrew from the U.S. Championships three weeks before Trials with a nagging shoulder injury. 

Tokyo Olympic alternate Kayla DiCello withdrew from the competition after tearing her Achilles on vault at the start of the competition. Two-time world team champion Skye Blakely also sustained a torn Achilles in training a few days before the competition.
