Russian team demonstrated brilliant performance at the recently concluded 33rd European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships 2017 in Budapest. At the final day Russian athletes received 4 Individual All-Around golds.

For the sisters Dina and Arina Averin who just turned 18, this championship was the first serious competiotion. But it didn't stop apprentices on their tracks. Moreover, Dina received the gold for hoop and ribbon exercise, and Arina won her gold for cubs and ball exersises.

The head coach of the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics Irina Vinner-Usmanova recognized sisters'efforts and said that now they might qualify for inclusion into the national team for the coming championship in Italy.

Experts have had very high expectations for Alexandra Soldatova but she had been compelled to accept the Silver.

In general, once again Russian athletes showed the best results.
