2012 Olympic Vault Bronze Medalist Maria Paseka of Russia looks to be out of the 2013 World Championships due to a pinched nerve in her back. Paseka was left off the latest competition start list and did not participate in training today in Antwerp. Paseka attended practice with the Russian team but did not work out. Instead, she assisted in coaching.
