Raegan Rutty has officially etched her name in the history books for the Cayman Islands, after becoming the first Caymanian gymnast ever to represent the country at the Summer Olympic Games.
Rutty competed Saturday, 24 July, in the All-Around, Subdivision 1 (out of 5). She scored 12.133 in vault, 8.566 uneven bars, 8.283 balance beam and 10.633 for floor, totalling a score of 39.615. Her scores were not enough to advance into the semifinals.
