German Group powers on the final day!

Group final of the elite: -- The German national team themselves had not expected a tripple win, - even in their own training place in Fellbach-Schmiden - especially if opponents from Russias national team are in the house.
The Russian girls allowed themselves a complete second league, a B-Formation so to say, and in Schmiden one was probably even more curious about this than about an A-Formation. because these are well known by the gymnasts from various competitions.
Everyone was eager to see how this "B-group" would present itself. The Russian group laid out some fresh gymnastics, with ambitious choreographies and high risks. But these became a problem apparently, there were too many mistakes, too many instabilities in the exercises.
