Since the Olympics are held every four years, Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, which began more than a hundred years ago in 1896 and has only been cancelled three times during both World Wars.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided in September 2017 that Paris would host the 2024 Olympics. A total of 32 sports will have 329 events scheduled for 16 different venues in France and French Polynesia between July 26 and August 11, 2024.
Who has the most Olympic gold medals in gymnastics?
Larisa Latynina of the Soviet era holds the record for the most Olympic gold medals in gymnastics, man or woman, with nine gold medals out of her total of 18 medals between 1956 and 1964. The next is Sawao Kato of Japan, with eight gold medals.
The third on the list and the most decorated male gymnast is Nikolai Andrianov of the Soviet Union, who has seven gold medals. A notable mention should be of the American Simone Biles, who has won four Olympic gold medals out of seven and 23 golds out of 30 in the World Championships, which is a world record.
The sport of gymnastics, being one of the 28 core sports, has been held since the inaugural 1896 event; however, only men competed in gymnastics until 1928, when women were first allowed to compete. The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles saw the addition of rhythmic gymnastics events, and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney saw the addition of trampoline events.
There are 27 gold medalist gymnasts (men and women), ranging from Larisa Latynina with nine gold medals to Giorgio Zampori with four. For better presentation, the table is given below:
