4 gold medals for Aleksandra Soldatova at Tashkent World Cup

Gymnasts representing the Russian Federation swept the individual titles at the Tashkent World Cup last weekend, with Aleksandra Soldatova winning the all-around gold and three apparatus titles. Newcomer Anastasia Guyenkova won the gold with ribbon and collected a further silver and 2 bronze medals, including for her all-around performance where she came third behind Bulgaria’s Boryana Kaleyn. Vlada Nikolchenko (UKR) and Neviana Vladinova (BUL) are looking promising with the Europeans just three weeks away. And … a historic moment for Slovenia as Ekaterina Vedeneeva clinched the country’s first ever World Cup medal, a bronze with ribbon!

In the group competition, Russia scored a huge 50.300 for the all-around victory. 6 points ahead of Uzbekistan and Ukraine in third position. Russia also won gold with 3 hoops and 2 pairs of clubs. The ladies from Ukraine did manage to upset the Russian party in Tashkent by winning the gold for their 5 balls routine beating Israel and Russia.
