Finals at Europeans*
Some felt the judges were generous.
BUT the BIG STORY is that Turkey pulled off hosting this meet during a pandemic. It turned out to be much better than I expect.
Congratulations.

As always with Romania, we’re worried about Bars. Ana’s still mostly using Free Hip rather than Sole Circle. Typical of that nation’s coaches. Pirouette and Blind on the same arm still, keeping her in the same spot on the rail for dismount.
