Senior gymnastics career
[edit]2019
[edit]In April D'Amato was officially named to the team to compete at the 2019 European Championships alongside Giorgia Villa, Elisa Iorio and Alice D'Amato.[9] During qualifications she placed eleventh in the all-around but did not qualify to the final due to Alice D'Amato and Giorgia Villa scoring higher. She qualified to the vault final in fourth place.[10] During finals she once again finished in fourth, behind Maria Paseka of Russia, Coline Devillard of France, and Ellie Downie of Great Britain.[11]
In August D'Amato 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 fifth in the all-around behind Giorgia Villa, Eythora Thorsdottir, Naomi Visser, and Alice D'Amato. Additionally she recorded the third highest vault and balance beam scores.[12] On September 4 D'Amato was named to the team to compete at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany alongside her sister, Villa, Elisa Iorio, and Desirée Carofiglio.
During qualifications at the World Championships D'Amato helped Italy qualify to the team final in eighth place; as a result Italy also qualified to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. She scored high enough to become the second reserve for the all-around final but did not due to teammates Villa and Iorio scoring higher than her.[13] In the team final, D'Amato 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.[14]
2020
[edit]In late January it was announced that D'Amato would compete at the Stuttgart World Cup taking place in March.[15] The Stuttgart World Cup was later canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.[16] In November D'Amato competed at the Italian National Championships where she tied for first with Giorgia Villa. During event finals she won gold on vault, bronze on the uneven bars (behind Villa and Martina Maggio) and on balance beam (behind Maggio and Villa), and silver on floor exercise once again behind Villa.[17]

[edit]D'Amato was named to the team to represent Italy at the 2020 Summer Olympics alongside Alice D'Amato, Giorgia Villa (later replaced by Vanessa Ferrari),[18] and Martina Maggio.[19] The team qualified for the team finals and placed fourth with a total score of 163.638.[20] In October D'Amato was selected to compete at the 2021 World Championships.[21] While there she qualified to the all-around and vault finals, becoming the first Italian female gymnast to qualify to the latter.[22] During the vault final she performed a Yurchenko double and a half on full twist. She won the silver medal behind reigning Olympic vault champion Rebeca Andrade. This was Italy's first World medal on vault in women's artistic gymnastics.

Together they won gold in the team competition, over five points ahead of second place France.[24] Individually D'Amato won silver in the all-around and on balance beam behind compatriot Maggio and won gold on vault and floor exercise.[25]
D'Amato next competed at the European Championships. On the first day of competition she won gold in the all-around ahead of Alice Kinsella of Great Britain and compatriot Maggio. She is the second Italian woman to win the all-around title after Vanessa Ferrari did so in 2007.[26] Additionally D'Amato helped Italy qualify to the team final in first place and individually she qualified to the vault and balance beam finals. During the team final D'Amato contributed scores on all four apparatuses towards Italy's first place finish.[27] During event finals D'Amato won silver on vault behind Zsófia Kovács. D'Amato injured her ankle when landing her second vault and therefore withdrew from the balance beam final. An MRI later revealed that D'Amato would need to undergo surgery to repair ankle ligaments and she would be unable to compete at the upcoming World Championships.[28]
2023
[edit]D'Amato returned to competition at the European Championships where she helped Italy finish second as a team. Additionally she finished second on vault behind Coline Devillard. D'Amato next competed at the Cairo World Cup. She qualified to the vault and balance beam finals. During the vault final D'Amato won silver behind Joscelyn Roberson but injured her knee when landing her second vault. As a result she withdrew from the balance beam final.[29] An MRI later revealed that D'Amato tore her ACL and meniscus and would require surgery to repair them.[30]
2024
[edit]D'Amato returned to competition at the City of Jesolo Trophy where she helped Italy finish first as a team and individually she won bronze in the all-around and on balance beam.
