Gymnast Kayla Nemour, a French national competing for Algeria, earned Africa its first Olympic medal in this sport by winning gold in the uneven bars.
Nemour triumphed in the final held at the Bercy Stadium with a score of 15.700 points, ahead of China's Qiu Qiyuan (15.500), a 17-year-old rising star in the world of gymnastics, who also performed with a difficulty of 7.200, just like the Algerian.
