Career

Giovannini has had considerable success at the European Level. She was a member of the historic Gold Medal-winning Italian team at the 2006 European Championships in Volos, Greece. She followed this success by winning an individual Gold in the Vault Final at the 2007 European Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands as well as a silver in the 2008 European Vault Final.

Giovannini competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a member of the Italian Olympic Team.[1] Whilst the Italian team failed to progress to the final due to a number of mistakes in qualifications,[citation needed] Giovannini progressed to the individual Vault Final, where she placed sixth.[2]
