Kaylia Nemour wins Algeria's first Olympic gymnastics title on the uneven bars - Suni Lee bronze

Algeria's Kaylia Nemour had the crowd at Bercy Arena in the palm of her hand Sunday afternoon (4 August) as she swung her way into history at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

The French-born gymnast struck uneven bars gold with a massive 15.700 score, holding off a strong challenge from the People's Republic of China's Qiu Qiyuan, the reigning world champion on the event. Qiu scored 15.600.

Two-time Olympic all-around medallist Suni Lee grabbed a third medal of these Games in third at 14.800.

Nemour's triumph is a first for Algeria and any African gymnast at the Olympic Games. She is Algeria's sixth ever Olympic champion.

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.
