A historic day for Algeria. Kaylia Nemour won the country’s first Olympic title in artistic gymnastics. The 17-year-old gymnast won the gold medal on the uneven bars with an incredible score of 15.700.

A year ago, Nemour made history for her nation as she won world silver on the event. It was the first medal by an African gymnast at the World Gymnastics Championships.

In Paris, she became the first Algerian Olympic artistic gymnastics champion. But also the first gymnast from the African continent to win a medal.

She finished ahead of Qiu Qiyuan of the People’s Republic of China, who scored 15.500, and two-time Olympic champion from the United States Sunisa Lee (14.800).
