In Rotterdam, Kaylia Nemour also finished just off the podium (4th) in the all-around competition, won on Friday, October 23, by American Blakely Skye. This setback did not affect the morale of the Algerian, who managed to secure two gold medals for the first time at the World Gymnastics Championships. In October 2025 in Jakarta, she had triumphed on the uneven bars, the apparatus where she outshines the competition.

Olympic champion in 2024 in Paris, Kaylia Nemour is now aiming for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
