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.
