PARIS — For years, Kaylia Nemour had pictured this moment: the routine of her life, the moment of her life, at the Olympics in her home country, with thousands of fans cheering her name. When she dismounted the uneven bars on Sunday with a release move named after her, a gold medal all but sealed, she immediately burst into tears.
And when the scores were final and the result confirmed, her coaches draped her in the flag of the country she is representing here—not France, but Algeria.
