Shilese Jones will miss Paris Olympics

Nobody pictured Paris without Shilese Jones.

Team USA suffered a slew of devastating injuries in quick succession at the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials, including one that will take Jones out of the Paris Games.

USA Gymnastics announced Saturday that, after evaluation, Jones will not be continuing through to the final day of trials Sunday, slashing her hopes of making the Paris team.

Jones, a 21-year-old from Seattle, was a near-lock for the Olympic team after winning six world championship medals in the past two years.

While warming up on the vault at Friday’s trials, Jones landed short and immediately cradled her knee.

She is the third front-runner for the Paris team to suffer a season-ending injury this week in Minneapolis. Skye Blakely ruptured her Achilles in training on Wednesday and Kayla DiCello suffered the same injury at the top of Friday’s competition.

Jones received medical attention after her vault and was carried off the competition floor, but all appeared to be well when she re-entered the arena. She attempted another warmup vault, but balked, unable to complete her run.
