<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the best TEAM FINALS I&#8217;ve ever seen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>European Gymnastics:</strong></p>



<p class="has-light-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph">An exciting final kept the Zagreb crowd on the edge of their seats until the very last routine, with <strong>Harry Hepworth’s performance on Floor</strong> ultimately securing the victory for Great Britain.</p>



<p class="has-light-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph">The reigning European champions, Great Britain successfully defended their title in Zagreb. Their performances on Rings and Vault gave them a strong advantage, led by <strong>Harry Hepworth</strong> (14.566 and 14.533) and <strong>Courtney Tulloch</strong> (14.300 and 14.100). On Parallel Bars, <strong>Joe Fraser</strong> helped his team maintain its lead with a score of 14.200.</p>



<p class="has-light-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph">World Gymnastics 2 eventually claimed second place on the podium. <strong>Dukhno</strong>, who won silver in the All-Around earlier this week, delivered particularly strong performances on Floor (14.466), Vault (14.300) and Parallel Bars (14.166), while his teammate <strong>Daniel Marinov</strong> also impressed with a score of 14.466 on Vault.</p>



<p class="has-light-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph">Switzerland completed the podium in third place. Thanks in particular to some very strong performances on Vault, including Florian Langenegger’s 14.066, they secured the bronze medal to round off a successful team final.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Congratulations to the medallists!</strong></p>
