What Women’s All-Around Qualifications Topper Angelina Melnikova Said About Her Performance at the World Championships
Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova, who was competing as a neutral athlete at the World Championships 2025, excelled in the women’s all-around qualifications with an overall score of 54.566 points. She also qualified for the finals of two individual events, including the uneven bars event, but couldn’t advance in the women’s balance beam and floor exercise events.
Following the event, she expressed her thoughts about the qualifications in an interview with Inside Gymnastics. While she shared her disappointment in not making the balance beam and floor exercise finals, she was happy about her bars and vault performances, stating:
“I’m a little bit upset about my mistake on beam and upset about the floor because I have a dream to be a world champion on floor. But I’m happy about my vault because it’s so difficult, so I dreamed about it, and also happy about my bars that I did it. I haven’t done this vault since Tokyo, so that’s why I was so nervous.”
Earlier in September of this year, she won the balance beam and placed second in the floor exercise at the World Challenge Cup 2025 held in Paris. Notably, following a ban from International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) events since March 2022 due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian and Belarusian athletes have resumed competing as neutral athletes after FIG allowed their return under strict terms, including a prohibition on representing their countries.
