2011 Gymnastics Worlds: Women's All-Around

Jordyn Wieber of DeWitt won the women’s all-around gold medal this morning at the world gymnastics championships in Tokyo.

Russian Viktoria Komova, who held the lead going into the final apparatus – the floor exercise – took the silver medal after making several costly mistakes in her routine.

Wieber scored 59.382 total points to Komova’s 59.349.

China’s Jinnan Yao won the bronze medal (58.598), just ahead of Wieber’s USA teammate Aly Raisman (57.558).


Wieber, who’s a high school junior at DeWitt High, is coached by John and Kathryn Geddert of Twistars USA in Dimondale. John Geddert is serving as the Americans’ world team coach.


“Two dreams came true today – her being a world champion, and me coaching one,” Geddert said by phone from Tokyo immediately after the event.
