Kaylia Nemour Soars to Historic Gold in Uneven Bars for Algeria

Kaylia Nemour made history by winning Algeria's first-ever gymnastics gold in the uneven bars at the Olympics. Competing after switching nationalities from France, her performance overshadowed Qiu Qiyuan of China. Meanwhile, Sunisa Lee of the USA secured her sixth Olympic medal, and Liu Yang of China defended his title in the still rings.

Kaylia Nemour of Algeria created history by clinching the country's first gold medal in gymnastics with a stunning performance in the uneven bars final, narrowly surpassing China's Qiu Qiyuan.

American gymnast Sunisa Lee continued her Olympic success, taking home her third medal in Paris and sixth overall, matching her bronze finish from Tokyo.

Nemour, originally French, switched to represent Algeria due to disagreements with the French gymnastics federation. Her father's Algerian heritage fueled her decision and led her to this landmark achievement on bars.
