EYOF - 17th European Youth Olympic Festival 2023

Italy's Golden Girls Trio

Approximately 3,600 athletes from 48 nations will compete for medals in 11 sports at the 17th EUROPEAN YOUTH OLYMPIC FESTIVALS ("EYOF")  from 23 - 29 July 2023. The competitions of the 14- to 18-year-old talents will take place in the sports of swimming, judo, tennis, volleyball, artistic gymnastics, athletics, cycling and handball. Also new and participating for the first time are the sports of skateboarding, mountain biking and 3x3 basketball.
* The host is the "Leon Stukelj City" Maribor, hometown of the international gymnastics legend, Olympic champion, former world champion and national hero of Slovenia Leon STUKELJ (1898 - 1999).
♦ After team gold for GREAT BRITAIN's boys, the girls' team gold went to ITALY.
Germany's trio won team silver and last year's winner Helen KEVRIC from Stuttgart shone again as best all-around gymnast, but also at the uneven bars final ...

MARIBOR hosted the FIG World Challenge Cup for eight years from 2005 onwards, which then found its home in Ljubljana and since 2017 in Koper. The Slovenian history of apparatus gymnastics, which emerged from the Yugoslavian gymnastics movement Sokol, knows outstanding personalities, which is especially connected with the former citizen of Maribor, Leon STUKELJ, who died as the then oldest Olympic champion in 1999, shortly before his 101st birthday, as well as with the pommel horse legend Miroslav Cerar, the parallel bars virtuoso Mitja Petkovsek or the high bar specialist Aljaz Pegan:  ► SLOVENIAN Gymnastics Legend

* Helen Kevric (GER)  impressively repeats her last year's victory in the all-around!
Energetically pressed by an Italian chasing duo, she left Italy's Sara CAPUTO on the silver rank and Emma FIOVARANTI no chance in the preliminary competition, who won a second all-around medal for Italy with bronze, which she had to share with Great Britain's Ema Grace KANDALOVA (both 50.400), however.
Only -0.25 points behind, Stuttgart's second gymnast Marlene Gotthard had to be content with fourth place, but was able to relegate France's best gymnast Lilou Viallat to sixth place and Romania's best gymnast Alexia Vanoaga to the following places.

♦ T E A M S - - :  While ITALY's trio also placed their third gymnast in the top ten with Benedetta Gava's 9th place, this closed team performance was rewarded with team gold. Rank 17 by Germany's Lisa Wötzel (48.100) resulted in the silver medal for the GERMAN girls, followed by GREAT BRITAIN in third place.

          GERMANY                       I T A L Y                     GREAT BRITAIN
Behind France, the Swiss girls were also quite happy about the improvement of last year's performance (8th) to 5th place, ahead of Romania and the Netherlands.
Austria's girls came 12th.
