"It really is my lifelong dream," Nemour told Olympics.com. "It's been a goal since 2020. Even I had my doubts before I stepped on the bar, I told myself it wasn't possible that I'd be Olympic champion. And I passed, it was incredible."
Nemour's triumph is a first for Algeria and any African gymnast at the Olympic Games. She is Algeria's sixth ever Olympic champion.
"I am very happy to have won this medal for Algeria. I hope I made them proud," she said. "It's true that the pressure was very high the last days, but I managed to stay calm and focused. I was able to perform my routine (well) today."
