Senior gymnastics career

2019

In April Iorio was officially named to the team to compete at the 2019 European Championships alongside Villa and the D'Amato twins. [12] During qualifications she placed fourteenth in the all-around but did not advance to the finals due to teammates Alice D'Amato and Giorgia Villa scoring higher. [13]

In August Iorio competed at the Heerenveen Friendly where she helped Italy win gold in the team competition ahead of the Netherlands and Norway and individually she finished eighth in the all-around. [14] On September 4 Iorio was named to the team to compete at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany alongside Alice D'Amato, Asia D'Amato, Giorgia Villa, and Desirée Carofiglio. [15]

During qualifications at the 2019 World Championships Iorio helped Italy qualify to the team final in eighth place; as a result Italy also qualified to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

[16] In the team final, Iorio helped Italy win the bronze medal – Italy's first team medal since the 1950 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. They ended up finishing behind the United States and Russia but ahead of China, who originally qualified to the final in second place. [17] During the all-around final Iorio competed on three events before she hurt her ankle on vault and withdrew from the competition. [18]

Iorio competed at the first Italian Serie A competition where she recorded the second highest score on the uneven bars. In September she suffered an injury to her ankle ligaments and would be out of training for four months while she recovered from surgery. [19]

[20] While there she qualified to the uneven bars final and was the second reserve for the balance beam final. She ended up placing sixth on uneven bars.
