Italian gymnast Alice D’Amato took historic gold on the balance beam at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
She scored 14.366 ahead of Zhou Yaqin of the People’s Republic of China, who posted a 14.100. D’Amato’s teammate Manila Esposito was third with 14.000.
No Italian woman had previously won an Olympic medal on the balance beam – or any individual event for that matter.
It’s the first time that Italy has won an Olympic title in gymnastics in any event – male or female – since Athens 2004, when Igor Cassina claimed gold on the horizontal bar.
