McClenaghan Misses Final After Injury Comeback
6 Mar
Summary
- Rhys McClenaghan failed to qualify for the final.
- He finished 10th in the pommel horse qualifying.
- This was his first competition since the Olympics.
Rhys McClenaghan, a decorated gymnast, did not advance to the final at the Apparatus World Cup in Azerbaijan. This event marked his return to competition following a shoulder injury that required surgery. McClenaghan finished 10th overall in the pommel horse qualifying round, with only the top eight gymnasts progressing.
His score of 13.466 was insufficient to secure a place in the final. As a result, McClenaghan is now the second reserve for Sunday's competition in Baku. This outing follows his gold medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The Newtownards native is slated to compete in three additional World Cups. These events are part of his strategic build-up towards a significant summer featuring the Commonwealth Games, European Championships, and World Championships.
