After skipping the 2020 season, 18-year-old O’Brien jumped directly from the 14-15 division into individual competition at the Games last year, and this year she’s proving she's ready to continue her rise to the top. Accumulating 392 reps — 13 rounds plus two wall walks — she put up the best score across the men’s and women’s leaderboards. 

However, it wasn’t a surprise to see the 2021 Rookie of the Year on top in 22.1. O’Brien took fifth in the wall walk workout last year.

Last week’s performance was a warning shot to her fellow competitors signaling her gymnastics skills are just improving over time.
