Italy’s Sara Errani (pictured above, left) completed a career Golden Slam by winning Olympic gold in the women’s doubles tennis event with Jasmine Paolini (pictured above, right).
The pair defeated Russia’s Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider, who were competing as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN), with a score of 2-6, 6-1, 10-8 on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros.
It was Italy’s first Olympic tennis gold in its history, with Errani and Paolini following up Lorenzo Musetti’s bronze in men’s singles, which was the country’s first Olympic tennis medal for 100 years.
Errani, who won the French and US Opens in 2012, the Australian Open in 2013, and Wimbledon in 2014 — all with partner Roberta Vinci — had to wait 10 years to finally add Olympic gold to her resume.
