Preview: 28th European Championships Acrobatic Gymnastics 2017

UEG - preview--: Having just hosted the European Age Group competitions, Rzeszow got a brilliant rehearsal for this week’s 28th European Championships Acrobatic Gymnastics 2017 (elite & juniors). The gymnasts will have a well-prepared and well-trained team welcoming them and ensuring their needs are met.
In Elite's categories 12 Federations are sending seniors: 6 Women’s Pairs, 9 Men’s Pairs, 10 Mixed Pairs, 10 Women’s Groups and 7 Men’s Groups. The entry list  is nothing less than impressive: Russian stars Marina Chernova and Georgiy Pataraya are joined by teammates Nikolay Suprunov, Igor Mishev, Daria Guryeva and Daria Kalinina, Belgium’s Noémie Lammertyn and Lore Vanden Berghe, Germany’s first ever World Games Champions Tim Sebastian and Mikhail Kraft, … Israel’s triple European senior champions men’s group will face tough competition from the junior Champions from Great Britain who claimed World Games gold just recently. The stars will definitely need to watch their back as there are many talented up-and-coming pairs and groups eager to dethrone the champions!

♦ In the junior category 13 Federations will compete with 7 Women’s Pairs, 10 Men’s Pairs, 19 Mixed Pairs, 16 Women’s Groups and 3 Men’s Groups.
In the junior competitions, the biggest battle is expected in the mixed pair’s competition where several former European medallists like Azerbaijan’s Aghasif Rahimov and Nurjan Jabbarli, Great Britain’s Finlay Cochrane and Kirsten Owen and Russia’s Aleksandra Balandina and Valeri Tukhashvili will compete.
