Due to an injury suffered during a training prior to the Olympics, she could compete in the balance beam event only.
With 11.333 points, with a d-score of 3.3 and an e-score of 8.033, Üçtaş ranked 77th, and did not advance to the final. In January 2013, she announced her retirement from active sports due to her long-lasting injury on her left elbow.
She told she is going to return to her hometown Gaziantep, where she plans to open a gymnastics school.
