Beatrice Tornatore (born 21 July 1999) is an Italian group rhythmic gymnast. She is a part of the group that won the 2017 World Championships in 5 hoops.
Beatrice Tornatore was born on 21 July 1999, in Padua. She began gymnastics at age six.[1]
Tornatore was added to the top group for the Italian rhythmic gymnastics national team in September 2016 after several gymnasts retired following the 2016 Olympics.[2] Her first competition with the main team was the 2017 Grand Prix in Thiais where the group won the gold in the all-around and silver in both event finals (3 Balls + 2 Ropes and 5 hoops).[2] The Italian group competed in five World Cup events. In Pesaro they won the silver in the group all-around behind Bulgaria but gold in both event finals.[3] In Baku, they once again won the silver in the group all-around behind Bulgaria, and they won the gold in 5 hoops and finished 4th in 3 Balls + 2 Ropes.[4] Then in Portimão, they won gold in the group all-around and 5 hoops.[5] In Minsk, they won the gold in the group all-around and silver in 3 Balls + 2 Ropes.[6] Finally, in Kazan, they won the silver in the group all-around behind Russia.[7]
She competed at the 2017 World Championships in Pesaro alongside Anna Basta, Martina Centofanti, Agnese Duranti, Alessia Maurelli, and Martina Santandrea. The team finished fourth in the group all-around competition and in the 3 Balls + 2 Ropes, but they won the gold medal in the 5 hoops- preventing Russia from sweeping the gold medals in every single event.[8]
