39th EUROPEANS of RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS 2023
♦♦ Individual All-around
♦ Ind. All-Around FINAL
With a furious final performance, the second best results with hoops (33.800) and clubs (32.350) and the third best ribbon result (31.500) Italy's Sofia RAFFAELI pulled ahead, passing Germany's Darja Varfolomeev (129.550) and even the preliminaries best Stiliana NIKOLOVA (129.500) to become Vice European Champion.
Best of the day and thus European all-around champion was Boryana KALEYN from Bulgaria, who with the best marks of the day on clubs and ribbon achieved a razor-thin lead of +0.45 points and thus won gold. After two silver medals, in 2021 and 2022, Boryana Kaleyn seized her opportunity to shine outright. The 22-year-old impressed with her signature exquisite pivot technique, sealing the deal with a fabulous clubs routine that scored 32.900. Her total score of 131.000 gave her a cushion of almost 1,5 points ahead of her nearest rivals. A comfortable lead to end Bulgaria’s all-around title draught, as Kaleyn brings the gold back to Bulgaria for the first time in 29 years when the legendary Maria Petrova won!
Germany's Darja Varfolomeev - third after the preliminaries - missed the podium with the ungrateful fourth place by -0.05 points.
Margarita Kolosov (GER) still fought her way into the top ten (9th place), while Viktoria Onoprienko (UKR) also missed clubs after a faulty ball routine and finished 14th.
