Is Hezly Rivera Injured? Why Is the Olympic Gold Medalist Performing Only One Event?

Is the Winter Cup 2025 cursed? Think hard. The first elite gymnastics contest of this year could have seen a lot more names in the participant list. But untimely withdrawal and injuries have put a mark on the show. Surprisingly, the contest only has Hezly Rivera from Team USA women’s artistic gymnastics team, the winner of team Olympic gold in the Paris Olympics.
