The world’s prime gymnastics skills descended on Cairo for a significant Worldwide Gymnastics Federation (FIG) occasion this weekend.

So did the cats.

A bunch of stray felines, possible looking for meals and shelter, joined athletes from throughout the globe as they ready to compete on the 2023 FIG Inventive Gymnastics World Cup at Egypt’s Cairo Worldwide Stadium. One ginger gymnastics fanatic even went as far as to sprint throughout the ground of the sector, sauntering previous the judges’ desk, hopping over numerous apparatuses, and sneaking by the locked-in gymnasts earlier than crawling behind a curtain and out of the stadium.

Maybe that orange-coated kitty was headed off to satisfy some pals. Within the hallways surrounding the sector flooring, many extra had been gathered.

A pair — that includes a black-and-white kitten and a bigger grey cat — had been huddled up close to a pile of wires:

And close to what gave the impression to be an entrance for buses to drag into the stadium, a trio of tabbies received as much as some hijinks. As one crawled beneath a close-by ambulance, one other hopped up onto the rubbish can. That latter cat burrowed its head right into a McDonalds bag and, a second later, emerged with a french fry in its mouth.

The occasion went on regardless of the flurry of cats making appearances throughout the stadium. Ukrainian gymnast Illia Kovtun stole the present on the lads’s aspect, incomes gold-medal wins on the ground train, parallel bars, and horizontal bar in addition to a shared bronze on the pommel horse.

Texarkana, Texas, native Joscelyn Roberson was the star among the many ladies. She received three medals — golds on the vault and flooring train plus a silver on the stability beam — in the course of the weekend.
