Australia’s Gymnastics Team Ready to Shine at Paris 2024 Olympics: 13 Athletes Set to Compete

Australia’s gymnastics team is gearing up for the Paris 2024 Olympics with a record-breaking 13 athletes set to compete across artistic, trampoline, and rhythmic events. This squad will be the largest in Australia’s gymnastics history, featuring 11 women and 2 men.

Team Overview:

  • Artistic Gymnastics: Six Australians will compete, including Tokyo Olympians Lidiia Iakovleva and Emily Whitehead, returning for their second Olympic Games. The rest of the squad will be making their Olympic debuts.

  • Trampoline Gymnastics: Brock Batty, who will be 17 years and 211 days old, will become the youngest male gymnast to compete in the trampoline event at the Olympics. Jesse Moore is the other male gymnast representing Australia.

  • Rhythmic Gymnastics: Six Australian gymnasts will showcase their skills, with Alexandra Kiroi-Bogatyreva competing in the individual all-around and Lidiia Iakovleva, Saskia Broedelet, Phoebe Learmont, Emmanouela Frroku, and Jessica Weintraub participating in the group all-around.

Competition Venues and Dates:

  • Artistic Gymnastics: Bercy Arena, July 27 to August 5
  • Rhythmic Gymnastics: Porte de La Chapelle Arena, August 8 to 11
  • Trampoline Gymnastics: Bercy Arena, August 3

Notable Absences:

Blake Rutherford, who was the top-ranked Australian in men’s trampoline, will miss the Olympics due to injury. Georgia Godwin, Commonwealth Games champion and two-time World Cup silver medalist, also withdrew after suffering an Achilles injury.

Australia’s sole Olympic gymnastics medal was won by Ji Wallace, who secured a silver in men’s trampoline at Sydney 2000. The Australian team aims to build on this legacy and make their mark in Paris.
