Rotterdam Worlds underway; Rivera withdraws from U.S. roster

USA Gymnastics confirmed October 17 that Hezly Rivera withdrew for medical reasons, with Dulcy Caylor replacing her. New reporting attributes the withdrawal to left ankle pain that limited Rivera’s training; Caylor is expected to cover beam in qualifying, though the effect on U.S. prospects is unclear. Men’s qualification is ongoing, and reports give discrepant subdivision-four figures: the retained standings have Japan at 253.829 and Oka leading the all-around, while another report cites Japan at 254.529 and Oka at 85.098; these are not final results.
