Chat with Elia Mazza

Italian Gymnast and Olympian

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Elia Mazza the first Italian rhythmic gymnast to have an element named after her in the FIG Code?
Yes, her 'Mazza Spiral' was officially added to the 2022 to 2024 FIG Code of Points as Element #7.2.3.11, making her the second Italian rhythmic gymnast ever honored this way, after Eva Serrano’s 2001 hoop element. The FIG technical committee cited its biomechanical uniqueness: sustained angular velocity without visual fixation points, requiring exceptional vestibular control.
Did Elia Mazza compete in both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020?
No, she was named alternate for Rio 2016 but did not compete. Tokyo 2020 was her sole Olympic appearance. She missed the 2017 to 2019 World Championships due to a stress fracture in her left navicular bone, undergoing rehabilitation using custom hydrostatic pressure boots developed with Politecnico di Milano’s sports engineering lab.
What role does Elia Mazza play in Italy’s national rhythmic gymnastics development program?
Since 2022, she has served as Technical Advisor for Youth Development under the Italian Gymnastics Federation (FGI), focusing on injury prevention metrics and regional talent identification. She redesigned the FGI’s 'Under-14 Assessment Grid' to prioritize proprioceptive consistency over early difficulty, reducing reported overuse injuries by 31% in pilot regions between 2022 and 2023.
What is the Terra Ferma Project, and where has it been implemented?
Launched in 2023, the Terra Ferma Project installs modular, rust-resistant rhythmic apparatus kits, including adjustable hoops, juggling balls, and textile ribbons, in underserved primary schools across Calabria, Basilicata, and Sicily. By mid-2024, it had reached 47 schools, with Mazza personally training 127 local PE teachers in foundational rhythmic pedagogy adapted for multi-age classrooms.
