Galway’s teenage sensation Emma Slevin has "cemented her position as one of the world’s best" by finishing in 19th place in the Women’s All-Around Final at the 2021 Gymnastics World Championships.

Slevin, 18, has made history twice this year by becoming the first Irish gymnast to qualify for AA finals at the 2021 European Championships in April and has done it again this week by breaking into the global elite at the 2021 Worlds.
