Italy’s Alice D’Amato won the gold medal with a 14.366 score followed by silver medalist Yaqin Zhou of China at 14.100 and bronze medalist Manila Esposito of Italy at 14.000. Several competitors cited the quiet in the arena – with little crowd noise and no background music – as unnerving during the competition.. “I don’t know if you could tell, but a lot of people were definitely feeling it. I think it was the crowd but also just knowing that we’re so close to being done and just adding that extra stress of wanting to end it off the right way.”At the Tokyo Olympics, Lee had won the gold in all-around, silver in team and bronze on the uneven bars.
Competing with Austen Jewell Smith against Italy’s Gabriele Rossetti and Diana Bacosi, Hancock hit 23 of his 24 shots in the gold-medal match. He had gone 75-of-75 in the qualifying round to help the United States reach the gold-medal match.Tarsis Orogot of Uganda runs to victory in a 200-meter dash heat at the Summer Olympics on Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France.Orogot won the second of the six heats in Round 1 in the 200-meter competition in 20.32 seconds.
