42nd Europeans of Rhythmic Gymnastics 2026

In the end, it was Germany's Darja Varfolomeev who claimed the Senior All-Around European title, ahead of local hero Stiliana Nikolova, who secured the silver medal, while Ukraine’s Taisiia Onofriichuk completed the podium with a well-deserved bronze medal.With this victory, Darja Varfolomeev further strengthens her place among the greatest names in rhythmic gymnastics. The German star is already the reigning Olympic All-Around Champion and a multiple World All-Around Champion, and she now adds the European All-Around crown to her impressive list of achievements, confirming her dominance on the international stage.
In the group apparatus finals, Spain won the all-around decision, but also swept both European titles of the last final day: In the 5 Balls final, Belarus claimed the silver medal, while Israel secured bronze. In the 3 Hoops and 2 Clubs final, Russia took silver, with Israel earning its second bronze medal of the competition in the group events.
