Ukraine’s 2016 Olympian Angelina Radivilova was the big winner with three medals at the second FIG World Challenge Cup for 2019, held in Osijek (CRO).
No stranger to the event – Radivilova won a bronze in one event in Osijek back in 2013 – the 28-year-old won the Balance Beam (13.333) and was second on Vault (13.833) and Floor (13.033).
In the men’s events, home favorite Robert Seligman – born in Osijek and now 33 – won his specialty, the Pommel Horse with a 14.533 score. Twice a European Championships medalist on the apparatus, he’s ready to make another run at the Olympic Games. Summaries:
