European Gymnastics Championships Apparatus Final RESULTS

Full official results.

Vault

No falls. A good final. But nothing particularly Andrade brilliant.

🥇 Angelina Melnikova, WG2, 14.166
🥈 Karina Schönmaier, Germany, 14.066
🥉 Lisa Vaelen, Belgium, 13.983

Bars

🥇 Helen Kevric, Germany, 14.500
🥈 Elisa Iorio, Italy, 14.333
🥉 Giulia Perotti, Italy, 14.233

Sanna Veerman, Netherlands, was 4th. I couldn’t decide between her (6.3 difficulty) and Giulia (6.1). It was close.

Three of the finalists had falls. What a shame.

The winners will be competitive at Worlds 2026, for sure. Great routines.

Easily the best Final. Only one fall ➙ and that on a terrific Round-off Layout 1/1.

🥇 Elena Colas, France, 13.933
🥈 Manila Esposito, Italy, 13.833
🥉 Angelina Melnikova, WG 2, 13.700

Pauline Schäfer misses by 0.067 due to an overtime penalty 😭

4. Pauline Schäfer, Germany, 13.633
5. Alia Leat, Great Britain, 13.433
6. Aitana Pacheco, Spain, 13.300

All amazing routines, contenders for the World Championships Final.

The kid is a super talent. BUT hers wasn’t my favourite of the finalist routines.

Floor

An entertaining Final.

🥇 Manila Esposito, Italy, 13.700
🥈 Elena Colas, France, 13.633
🥉 Angelina Melnikova, WG 2, 13.566

I’m not convinced judges can justify exactly these scores.

Subjective artistry deductions, for example, seem to be more personal preference than anything measurable.

That said, I’m happy Manila took the Gold. Her routine to me was the most balanced: tumbling, dance, leaps, jumps, turns. The whole package.

Félix Dolci – amazing comeback at Commonwealths

Félix is in great shape right now. BUT fell twice on Pommels to score 9.500 in the all-around final at the Commonwealth Games.

Disaster.

He ranked 17 / 18 after two events.

But this guy has character. He fought through the final 4 apparatus to finish silver in the AA. One of the great comebacks anyone can recall.

Never. Never give up.

Tsukahara on the Origin of the Tsukahara Vault

When I was about 10 years old, I did my P Bar routine at the Calgary Stampede alongside Mitsuo Tsukahara and Shiro Tanaka. I was the local kid showing off with two of the best in the world.

Mitsuo Tsukahara is today best remembered for the Tsukahara Vault.

American gymnast Hal Shaw performed the same vault at the 1968 NCAA Championships, where it was known in the United States as the “O-Shaw.” 

At the 1970 World Championships in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, Mitsuo introduced the new vault to great international acclaim scoring 9.75.
