Vera Sesina (RUS) |
Just as in 2005 Vera Sessina from Russia wins with 67,757 the individual part of the all around competition of the Grand Prix Final in the Max Schmeling Halle ahead of team mate Olga Kapranova (66,224) and third place finisher Inna Zhukova from Belarus (65,640).
Vera Sessina is in Berlin for the 5th time and leads the Grand Prix series with clubs and ribbon, therefore has major chances for gold on Sunday. In her ball performance she magically turns four times while her ball is high up in the air before she catches the apparatus easily.
World Champion Olga Kapranova who originates from the excellent Russian gymnastic schools proved once again her talent in the all around. She worked wonders with all four apparatuses and her goal for tomorrow is to win at least one medal.
Inna Zhukova’s routines were all elegant, the one with the ball belongs to the most risky and most spectacular of the actual top choreographies. Not only the dangerous final poses impress over and over again but she also is fun to watch. The audience got into her performance and cheered – they liked it! She always shows that she enjoys her routines.

Anna Bessonova (UKR) |
Ukrainian Natalia Godunko who finished the all around competition in 4th place had been in the lead after group A with 65,233 points ahead of Anna Bessonova (Ukraine/63,166) and third place finisher Marina Specht (Russia/62,074).
Godunko presented herself in her usual fun, temperamental and quick style – this time with a short pony tail – while all other gymnasts had difficulties as well as several losses of their apparatus. Especially Bessonova seemed nevous, unconcentrated and showed rather flawed programs.
