The 18-year-old Olympic gold medalist Hezly Rivera has withdrawn from the 2026 World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam due to a left ankle injury. Rivera, who was part of the U.S. team that won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics and is a two-time national all-around champion, had been experiencing pain during training. She will be replaced on the five-woman team by alternate Dulcy Caylor as the U.S. women's gymnastics team aims for their eighth consecutive world team title starting Sunday in qualifying rounds.
