On day 2 of these Trampoline Europeans, the senior team medals were awarded. Host nation Russia claimed victory in 3 of the 5 finals today. Denmark set the bar high in men’s tumbling with Russia relying on its last gymnast, Aleksandr Lisitsyn, to outperform their rivals. Their female compatriots suffered early mishaps but managed to end on a strong note with Viktoria Danilenko taking the team to silver-medal position behind the mighty French team and ahead of Belgium.  

In Double Mini-Trampoline, the Russian line-up featured big names like Mikhail Zalomin, Vasili Makarski and Aleksandr Odintsov. They lived up to their reputation, showing great technique on this treacherous event, outscoring Portugal by close to two points.

In Trampoline, the Russian women overcame an early mistake by defending European Champion Yana Pavlova to clinch the team gold, almost 6 points ahead of Belarus, with France in third. The Russian men suffered two botched routines to finish off the podium. Victory went to the talented team of Belarus: Ivan Litvinovich, Aleh Rabtsau, Aliaksei Dudarau and reigning Olympic Champion Uladzislau Hancharou. Portugal edged France for the silver medal.
 

On the last day of the 27th European Championships in Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline and Tumbling, Sochi’s Iceberg Palace hosted the individual and synchronised finals.

Tachina Peeters clinched the European title in Tumbling, a well-deserved reward for the excellent Belgian who finished fourth in many major international events. After winning synchro gold together, Aleh Rabtsau beat compatriot and 2016 Olympic Champion Uladzislau Hancharou by a few tenths in men’s trampoline. Lea Labrousse and Marine Jurbert wrote history for France, winning silver and bronze respectively while Turkey celebrated its first individual medal, bronze in junior Trampoline for Elif Colak.
