Russia Leading at the Halfway Point of EChAcro

From the UEG newspage:

"Russia was the only nation to win more than 1 gold. Their mixed pair Viktoria Aksenova and Alexander Dubovitskiy beat the host nation’s Daniel Blintsov and Sneschana Sinkov and Great Britain’s Finlay Cochrane and Kirsten Owen, while Russia’s women’s group beat Israel and Great Britain. The Portuguese women’s pair Rita Fereira and Joana Moreira qualified in first place to the final where they also dominated, beating Great Britain’s Olivia Proctor and Jessica Gledhill by 0.050. Russia’s Yasmina Ishankulova and Anna Itcenko were third. Great Britain’s Sam Large and Hector Kinghorn clinched the men’s pair title scoring a massive 28.200 to beat Russia’s Semen Lvov and Dmitri Golovachev and Ukraine’s Mykyta Lukakhin and Mykyta Nikitin"

Elegance. Aesthetics. Body Control. These are the pillars of acrobatic gymnastics, so who's surprised Russia is dominating? Congratulations to all the Age Group gymnasts that have participated thus far, and good luck to the junior and senior elites still to come. The Acro World Championships is in six months, giving Russia enough time to strengthen their programs and take on the top international teams of China and USA. Onward, Team Russia!
