She needed to do something out of the ordinary to get to the final from the qualifiers, in the tough competition.
And it was so close.
Jonna Adlerteg probably made the best competition of her career in the bars at the Olympics in Tokyo.
But it was still not enough for the final.
Adlerteg finished tenth in the qualifiers, and was a paltry 33 thousandths from an Olympic final, where eight gymnasts qualified.
Adlerteg made 14,533.
American star Simone Biles took the last final place at 14,566.
- It is so close to a final, it is impossible to get closer. I think she should be in the final, but she could not have done better, says Discovery + expert commentator Veronica Wagner.
