Jocelyn Roberson recently returned to training two months after suffering an injury at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The American gymnast shared a video of herself performing stunts, announcing to her fans that she was back on the court after her recovery.

During the 2023 World Championships, Jocelyn Roberson made headlines after withdrawing from the vault final. The Arkansas Razorbacks gymnast suffered a left leg injury during vault warmups moments before the team’s final.

While warming up, she landed briefly, causing her to freeze on the mat. Unable to move, her trainer carried her away from the machine. The injury forced her to withdraw from the cellar and floor.

However, Roberson is slowly returning to her original form. She recently shared a TikTok video on her Instagram account, where she is performing amazing gymnastics moves. The young gymnast successfully executed a series of backflips during a training session.

She commented on her video:

“Flippin’ again!!😎 #recovery #superexcited”

The young gymnast wrote an emotional message to announce her exit from the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships on Instagram and captioned it:

“I hate to break it to you guys, but I’m withdrawing from the vault final. In the team final, I failed the vault and something weird happened. I had hopes of coming back but this time I need to rest and recover. Thank you to everyone who wished me a speedy recovery! I’m lucky to be here and I’m Grateful for that!!

Furthermore, team member Liane Wong replaced Roberson in the team event at the World Championships.
