Vanessa Ferrari is a gymnast who has competed for Italy. She competed at the 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
After receiving unremarkable results in 2008 and missed the podium spot twice on the floor exercise routine in 2012 and 2016, Ferrari entered her fourth straight Olympics in 2020 as a potential medal favorite on her signature routine. Though she and her Italian teammates slipped out of the podium to fourth by nearly four tenths of a point (0.4), she ended her career medal drought with a silver behind the American favorite Jade Carey in the floor exercise. With her historic runner-up success, Ferrari became the first Italian woman to win an individual Olympic medal in the artistic gymnastics and first medalist for the Italian women's team since Amsterdam 1928. Moreover, she became the fourth female artistic gymnast to participate in four Olympiads, following Olga Tass, Oksana Chusovitina, and Daniele Hypólito.
