The first day of Finals have been contested at the 2015 Osijek Challenge Cup competition in Croatia. Puerto Rico's Paula Andrea Mejias Rodriguez narrowly won the Vault Final over Hungary's Boglarka Devai whilst Franchesca Anttonella Santi Munos of Chile finished in third. Great Britain's Ruby Harrold dominated on the Uneven Bars with Finland's Annika Urvikko and Brazil's Thauany Lee de Araujo finishing in second and third respectively. Israel's Artem Dolgopyat earned the top mark on the Floor Exercise with Slovenia's Ziga Silc and Mexico's Daniel Corral Barron rounding out the top three. Showcasing the most difficult routine in the field - Great Britain's Louis Smith dominated in the Pommel Horse final taking the honors over Robert Seligman of Croatia and Andrii Sienichkin of Ukraine. While on the Parallel Bars, Ukraine's Oleg Verniaiev overcame a disappointing Qualification to take the title with Turkey's Ferhat Arican and Hidetaka Miyachi finishing second and third respectively.

The 2015 Osijek World Challenge Cup is set to take place from the 17th to the 20th of September at the Hall "Gradski VRT" in Osijek, Croatia. The Qualifications to Event Finals will take place over the two days of the 17th and 18th with the Finals taking place on the 19th and 20th. The Nominative Registrations have been released and I personally am really excited for this competition!

N.B: Mexico is sending DeLuna, Corral Barron, and Cervantes Quezada. Panama is sending Amado Medrano and Brostella Arias.
