WOMEN's App. Finals:
* UEG report --: An exciting Sunday afternoon in Szczecin (POL) as the finalists battled for medals on beam and floor for the women, and vault, parallel bars and high bar for the men. In the women’s competition, Great Britain’s Alice Kinsella became the first British gymnast to win the European title on beam, her favourite event: "It's been a rollercoaster for me. My all-around competition didn't go to plan but I knew I had today to put that right. I was so nervous watching the rest of the girls compete and to come away with our first ever European beam medal feels absolutely amazing."
France continued their success, with both Melanie de Jesus dos Santos and Lorette Charpy medalling on beam. De Jesus went on to successfully defend her European title on floor too, becoming the most decorated gymnast of these European Championships. And her goal is clear: “I hope to win a medal at the Worlds, no matter what colour. My goal will be to tickle, annoy Simone Biles! To beat her would be complicated, but I’ll do my best to be on the podium."
Elegant Eythora Thorsdottir (NED) celebrated her return to competition after a tough year struggling with injury by performing her way to the silver medal. Defending European Champion Angelina Melnikova ended her Europeans in third place.
With each 2 gold and silver and 1 bronze medal France was the most successfull nation very close of Russia ((2-1-2) on women's side.
