This year’s Olympic Games saw 17 athletes from Australia and New Zealand taking part in both the men’s and women’s Gymnastics competitions. With debuts as well as seasoned Olympians, Oceania have shone at #Paris2024, despite missing out on any medals this year.
The games featured 13 athletes from Australia, and 4 from New Zealand competing in Rhythmic, Artistic and Trampoline.

Australia
In the Women’s Artistic All-Around, Ruby Pass finished in 13th with a great score of 53.798. Jesse Moore finished 21 in the Men’s Artistic All-Around with a good score of 80.430.
In the team competition, the Women’s team narrowly missed qualifying for the final, by finishing 10th. Their score of 158.946 was 0.533 points off 8th place, which was disappointing for the team with their fantastic efforts and performance.

Maddie Davidson from New Zealand finished in 7th with a fantastic performance and score of 54.740 and Dylan Schmidt finished in 8th with a score of 19.500 after sadly falling off the trampoline, thankfully unharmed.

In the team All-Around event, Australia finished in 10th place after a fantastic group performance, and record finish for the country. Alexandra Kiroi-Bogatyreva in the Individual event, finished in 22nd with a score of 114.350.
