The Russians have it, in buckets; the gymnasts on this junior team are no different. In my opinion, this is one of the most talented junior teams the Russians have produced in recent years; I only hope that at least two of them can navigate the choppy waters to senior status, and go on to compete at the very highest level. Good luck to them all!
This is the eighth consecutive year that the Russian junior team has won at Europeans.
