Russian Group with two final gold medals |
The eight best groups from yesterday´s qualification competed today at the apparatus finals.
* Final with five hoops
In the first final, with five hoops, the Russian group won the gold medal scoring 27.975 points, only 0.100 points ahead of Italy (27.875 points).
The bronze medal went to the Bulgarian group that did a faultless, risky and well-choreographed routine that brought them 27.100 points and the first medal for the Bulgarian team at this year´s world championships.
Like yesterday, the Israeli group placed fourth, followed by the German gymnasts on a fantastic fifth rank, followed by Japan, Belarus and Azerbaijan.
The girls from Belarus had bad luck in their hoop routine- a hoop went out of the carpet after a catch and destroyed their medal hopes.

* FINAL 5 HOOPS
1. RUSSIA 27.975
2. ITALY 27.875
3. BULGARIA 27.100
> Detailed results
* Final with 2 Ropes- 3 Ribbons
The Russian group was very lucky with the drawing of lots, in both finals they were the last group to perform and the scores for their rivals already fixed, so that the gymnasts knew what they had to fight for. Also in the second final with the mixed routine they controlled their nerves and showed a steady routine that brought them 28.050 points and the second gold medal today, again ahead of Italy (27.900 points) and this time Belarus (27.150 points). On fourth place follows the group from Israel and on fifth Germany. Both groups scored 25.900, but the group with higher mark for execution, in this case Israel, gets the better rank. On places six to eight follow Japan, Azerbaijan and Spain.
* FINAL 2 ROPES - 3 RIBBONS
1. RUSSIA 28.050
2. ITALY 27.900
3. BELARUS 27.150
