Built around Nemour
The team is led by Kaylia Nemour, the Olympic and world champion on uneven bars. At the African Championships she won the all-around by more than six points and took gold on bars, beam and floor. Several of her team-mates, like Nemour herself, grew up in France and chose to represent Algeria.
What to expect
Reaching the team final, which takes the top eight of 24 teams, would be a huge step for a debut team. The real story is individual. Nemour is the favourite for the uneven bars title on Saturday 24 October and a contender in the all-around. Algeria compete in the fifth subdivision at 11:05 on Monday 19 October.
