But beyond the athletic achievements, the event was also a star-studded spectacle. Celebrities flocked to the qualifiers, making it a must-watch for fans of both gymnastics and Hollywood.
As one Twitter user, Lisa (@supersIeuth), pointed out, “I’ve never seen so many celebrities at a gymnastics meet.” Jasmine Jeane (@JazzyFromDaBloc) echoed this sentiment, marveling at the celebrity turnout.
