Gold medalist Alexa Moreno won the 2023 Paris Challenge Cup

The well-known artistic gymnast from Mexico, Alexa Moreno, continues to astound the sports world with her extraordinary talent and tenacity. At the 2023 Paris Challenge Cup, Moreno won a gold medal in the vault and a bronze medal in the floor exercise. Moreno is best recognised for winning a historic bronze medal on the vault at the 2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

Her amazing return to the sport after a self-imposed injury layoff follows this extraordinary achievement. Moreno’s unrelenting commitment to and love of gymnastics make her an inspiration to young athletes everywhere.

Moreno’s performance at the 2023 Paris Challenge Cup showed her exceptional talent and unflappable resolve. She achieved an outstanding 14.075 in the vault, which earned her the gold medal. Her position as one of the top gymnasts on the vault in the world is further cemented by this amazing performance. Both judges and viewers were in awe of Moreno’s precise technique and perfect performance.

Despite facing difficult competition, Moreno prevailed over France’s Coline Devillard for the bronze medal with a score of 13.800 and Australia’s Georgia Godwin for the silver medal with a score of 13.850.

A trailblazer in Mexican gymnastics

Along with achieving personal achievement, Alexa has helped Mexican gymnastics advance. She became the first Mexican woman to medal at this prestigious competition with her ground-breaking bronze medal win at the 2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. This accomplishment inspired people around the nation and in the gymnastics community.

Even though Moreno placed fourth in the vault in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, her tenacity and dedication have cemented her place among the greatest Mexican gymnasts in history. She has faced obstacles along the way, but she has always overcome them, showing that persistence and hard effort can lead to success.
