Gymmin' Miel!

Russian Valentin Starikov has taken out the Floor Exercise title on the final over Great Britain's Brinn Bevan. Bevan scored the same mark as Tomas Kuzmickas of Lithuania but due to Bevan's higher execution mark relegated Kuzmickas to the bronze. Great Britain's Nile Wilson was the winner on the Pommel Horse over Greece's Antonios Tantalidis and Starikov. Bevan scored the same total of Starikov but had a lower execution saw which saw him miss out on a medal. Wilson also won the Still Rings title, with France's Paul Degouy in second and Russian Ivan Stretovich in third. Again it was the tie-breaking rule that decided who was second and third. Russia's Kirill Potapov was the Vault Champion with compatriot Starikov finishing in second place over Belarus' Viktar Hrankouski. Stretovich earned the honors on the Parallel Bars over Brinn Bevan and Turkey's Ahmet Onder, whilst on the Horizontal Bar, Italy's Carlo Macchini was triumphant. Starikov earned second place with Croatia's Tin Srbic in third. 

On the Women's side of the competition, Great Britain's Elissa Downie won the Vault title with Romanian Laura Jurca finishing in second. Fellow British gymnast Tyesha Mattis finished in third. Italy's Martina Rizzelli won the Uneven Bars title with Frenchwoman Louise Vanhille in second and Tea Ugrin of Italy in third. Maria Bondareva of Russia won the Balance Beam title over Dutch starlet Eythora Thorsdottir. France's Claire Martin and Romanian Andreea Iridon both earned the bronze medal having identical D and E scores. Russian Maria Kharenkova won the Floor Exercise over Kim Janas.
