Delivering a routine that combined precision, fluidity and high technical difficulty, Nemour posted the best mark of the competition, with a score of 14.533. Her performance clearly won over the judges and left the rest of the field trailing. Slovenia's Licija Hribar took silver with a score of 13.133, while Egypt's Judy Abdalla completed the podium with 12.566. Morocco's Salina Bousmayo also deserves a mention for a fine fifth place, with a mark of 12.466.
More finals to come
An Olympic champion at the Paris 2024 Games, Kaylia Nemour confirms her status as a global benchmark on the uneven bars. Her win in Cairo is part of an upward trajectory that puts her among the leading names in international artistic gymnastics.
Beyond this gold medal, Nemour continues her impressive run at the Egyptian stage. In qualifying, she also shone on the beam, posting the best mark (13.200), and reached the floor final with a score of 12.800. That gives the Algerian two more chances to pick up further titles and add to her medal collection.
