Megan Ryan

Ryan won the gold medal on every event at the 2016 Irish Championships, except for the uneven bars where she won the silver medal.[4] She then competed at the European Championships where she finished fifty-third in the all-around during the qualification round.[5] In 2017, Ryan once again won the junior all-around at the Irish Championships.[6] She then competed at the European Youth Summer Olympic Festival with Jane Heffernan and Emma Slevin, and they finished eighteenth in the team competition. Individually, Ryan finished thirty-third in the all-around.[7]

Ryan competed at the 2019 European Championships where she finished forty-ninth in the all-around during the qualification round.[8] She then won the gold medal in the all-around at the senior Irish Championships.[9] At the Mersin Challenge Cup, she won the silver medal on the uneven bars behind Nazli Savranbasi. This was Ireland's first medal at the women's FIG World Cup.[2][10] She then competed at the 2019 World Championships where she finished ninety-fifth in the all-around in the qualification round.[11] Due to this result, she was initially the first reserve for the Olympic Games.[3] However, after North Korea withdrew from the Olympics, Ryan received the spot that initially went to Kim Su-jong.[12]

At the 2021 European Championships, she decided to only compete on the uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise in order to build up towards the Olympic Games.[13]
