[edit]

Crovetto competed at his first World Championships in 2011 and finished 159th in the all-around qualification round.[2] At the 2013 European Championships, he finished 40th in the all-around during the qualification round.[3] He then competed at the 2013 Games of the Small States of Europe and won a gold medal with the Monegasque team.[4] Additionally, he won a bronze medal on the vault.[5] At the 2014 European Championships, he finished 35th in the all-around.[6] He then finished 133rd in the all-around qualifications at the 2014 World Championships.[7]

Crovetto finished 181st in the all-around qualification round at the 2015 World Championships.[8] He received a berth from the Tripartite Commission to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[9] He became the first gymnast to represent Monaco at the Olympics since 1920.[10] He finished 49th in the all-around during the qualification round with a total score of 76.056.[11]

Crovetto represented Monaco at the 2018 Mediterranean Games and finished 17th in the all-around final.[12] In October 2018, he had a biceps tendon rupture and a torn muscle in his shoulder that kept him out of competition until February 2019.[13] He competed at the 2019 World Championships and finished 139th in the all-around qualification round.[14]

During the 2021 European Championships, Crovetto fell off the parallel bars and sustained a head injury, forcing him to withdraw from the rest of the competition.[15][16] He represented Monaco at the 2022 Mediterranean Games and repeated his 17th-place finish in the all-around final.[17]
