World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam: Helen Kevric wins silver on the uneven bars

Kevric, who had already impressed as second best in qualifying on her World Cup debut, showed a flawless routine in the final of the best eight athletes. After the European Championship triumph on her showpiece in August, she won her second individual medal in international championships.

In contrast to the all-around final on Saturday, where she missed a medal by 0.034 points, Nemour was unbeatable and secured her third World Championship medal on the uneven bars after silver in 2023 and gold in 2025. “She is a tough and strong athlete,” Kevric had previously said in praise of her competitor.

Kevric's medal is the first and only for the German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) in Rotterdam and the first World Cup medal for women since Pauline Schäfer-Betz's silver on the balance beam in 2021. No German athletes qualified for the other apparatus finals; both women and men in the team missed the final. The women's all-around final also took place without German participation; Timo Eder came 14th among the men.
