Balance Beam
Alice D’Amato won gold on the balance beam at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making history as the first Olympic gold medalist for Italy in women’s gymnastics.

Overall, the competition was won by China and Ukraine.
Equestrian
Women’s Equestrian Dressage
Defending Olympic champion Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl secured her second individual title in the Olympics. She has now won four Olympic gold medals in just two Olympics, maintaining the top spot in the world rankings since June 2023. She demonstrated skill during the Games and helped Germany win in the team event. Meanwhile, Isabell Werth, Dressage’s most decorated rider, finished on the second step of the podium with a score of 89.614. Werth raised her all-time total Olympic medal count to an astonishing 14.
Germany’s Von Bredow-Werndl and Werth hold the top two positions in equestrian dressage, marking the seventh consecutive time they have done so. Charlotte Fry won bronze for Great Britain after narrowly missing out on the top three in the qualifying round.
Individual Jumping
The Olympic equestrian event ended with an individual jumping competition that saw a three-way tie-breaker to decide the new champion. Christian Kukuk of Germany won his first individual gold medal and was part of a German quartet that swept the individual gold medals. Steve Guerdat from Switzerland and Maikel van der Vleuten from the Netherlands advanced to the jump-off after achieving perfect scores in the first round of the final. The course proved too difficult to conquer for the other competitors, and eight riders received a four-point penalty. Henrik von Eckermann was eliminated from the competition after his horse King Edward was thrown during one of the course’s middle lines.
