In the uneven bars final, the 17-year-old beat Sunisa Lee of the USA and Qiu Qiyuan of China to win Algeria's first medal in Paris. Teenage Algerian Kaylia Nemour, who beat many famous competitors and won her nation's first medal at the 2024 Olympic Games, broke down in tears of pleasure as she became the first African athlete to win an Olympic gymnastics medal with gold on the uneven bars in Paris.
In 2018 Top 12 Series 3 was the first event of Nemour’s. She helps Avoine beat Rouen on the uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. She then participated in the uneven bars competition at Series 4, helping her club beat Haguenau.
Olympic gymnastics medal
Since 1896, gymnastics events have been held during the Olympic Games. Thirty female gymnasts have earned a minimum of five medals since then. With nine athletes, the Soviet Union has the most on this list.
Furthermore represented are Romania (6), the United States (6), Hungary (4), East Germany (2), Russia (2), and Czechoslovakia (1).
Larisa Latynina (18), Vera Caslavska (11), Simone Biles (11), Agnes Keleti (10), Polina Astakhova (10), Nadia Comaneci (9), Ludmilla Tourischeva (9), Margit Korondi (8), and Sofia Muratova (8) are the nine female gymnasts who have won at least eight medals at the Olympic Games.
Algeria Olympics 2024
Algeria will compete in the Summer Olympics in Paris, France, from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Athletes from Algeria have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since the country's formal founding in 1964, except Montreal in 1976, when the Congolese spearheaded the boycott.
Due to boxer Imane Khelif's previous rejection from the 2022 and 2023 events for not meeting the International Boxing Association's sex standards to compete as a woman, Algeria created some controversy.
Imane Khelif
Later on, Khelif made Olympic history as the first female boxer from Algeria. Khelif was supported by the Algerian Olympic Committee (COA), who described the response to him as "baseless propaganda" and "unethical targeting". According to the COA, all necessary steps have been taken to protect Khelif's Olympic rights.
After Khelif's 2024 Olympic victory over Angela Carini of Italy, there were social media rumors about her gender. These were boosted by Khelif's removal from the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA)-hosted 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships due to her stated failure to pass gender-specific qualification tests.
