For the second consecutive year Russian rhythmic gymnastics starlet Evgenia Kanaeva has swept the Individual honours at the Rhythmic Gymnastic World Championships. Russia took out the team gold medal (290.275) from Belarus (272.500) and Ukraine (269.675). Kanaeva won the All Around title with a 116.650 from compatriot Daria Kondakova (116.600) and Azerbaijan's Aliya Garayeva (112.450), and in the Hoop final held on after scoring 29.300 to take the title over Kondakova (29.050) and Israel's Neta Rivkin (28.000). Kanaeva (29.600) and Kondakova (29.325) triumphed over Liubov Charkashyna of Belarus with a 28.300 with the ball. And then Kanaeva and Kondakova did it again with the clubs (29.600, 29.300 respectively) with Bulgarian Silviya Miteva taking the bronze (28.300). This podium was also repeated on the Ribbon podium (scores were 29.400, 29.250 and 28.300 respectively). The top 15 All Around scorers have earned berths to the 2012 Olympic Games, whilst those ranked 16-24 have earned invitations for their nations to compete at the 2nd Olympic qualification event in January.
