Clara Schroth

Clara Marie Schroth-Lomady was an American artistic gymnast who won a team bronze medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics. She also competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Although individual medals had been awarded to male gymnasts since the inception of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, women would not be awarded with individual medals until 1952; however, under the rules that began in 1952, Schroth's performance in 1948 would have garnered her an individual medal of second-place silver on vault, tied with Joan Airey of the United Kingdom, as Schroth had the 2nd-highest score on the apparatus of 80+ athletes in the competition.
