JAKARTA, Indonesia – Gator grad Leanne Wong soared to World Championships silver today at the Indonesia Arena, matching her 2021 finish in a thrilling repeat showdown with Russia’s Angelina Melnikova. Just a tenth of a point separated the two all-around leaders in the final standings.
Wong, sitting fourth before the final rotation, delivered a clutch Cheng vault that earned the highest vault score of the day (14.466) and launched her into the lead-until Melnikova’s closing floor routine edged her out for gold.
The one-two all-around finish was a repeat of the 2021 World Championships, when Melnikova and Wong also went one-two.
U.S. teammate Dulcy Caylor took 13th in the final standings.
Another Gator looks for World Championships hardware tomorrow. Rising sophomore Skye Blakely earned a place in the uneven bars final after posting a score of 14.166 to qualify seventh. That final will take place Friday, Oct. 24 at 3 a.m. ET.
Coverage of the World Championships event finals streams live on Peacock.
