About Elia Mazza
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021 amid unprecedented uncertainty, Elia Mazza anchored Italy’s rhythmic gymnastics group in the 3 ribbons + 2 balls final, delivering a flawless routine that secured Italy’s highest-ever Olympic finish in the discipline: 5th place. Her signature move, the ‘Mazza Spiral’, a rapid, controlled three-turn pivot while sustaining ribbon momentum without breaking flow, was later codified in the 2022, 2024 FIG Code of Points as a named element (difficulty value: 0.3). Trained since age six at the Brixia Gymnastics Academy in Brescia, she pioneered bilingual coaching protocols there, integrating Italian kinaesthetic terminology with English biomechanical cues to bridge generational training gaps. Unlike many peers who transitioned solely to choreography post-competition, Mazza co-founded the 'Terra Ferma Project' in 2023, a grassroots initiative installing low-cost, weather-resistant apparatus in southern Italian schools lacking dedicated gym spaces.
