Answer
Mustafina's successful title defense marked a remarkable feat, as she became the first gymnast to retain her Olympic title in an individual apparatus final—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, or floor exercise—since Simona Amanar's triumph in the vault competition at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, breaking a 12-year title drought in women's gymnastics.
