Overview
- Varfolomeev secured her first European all‑around title after a tight contest, completing the win that had eluded her in previous continental championships on Saturday May 30.
- On Sunday May 31 she added apparatus golds in Ball and Band, posting 29.550 for Ball and a meet‑leading 30.000 for Band.
- The Ball title was decided on a difficulty tiebreak after Varfolomeev and Bulgaria’s Stiliana Nikolova posted identical totals of 29.550 but Varfolomeev had the higher difficulty score.
- Mistakes affected two events: Varfolomeev finished fourth in the Hoop final with 29.300 and failed to qualify for the Clubs final after two apparatus losses in qualification.
- Her coach, Julia Raskina, said Varfolomeev was not at full health and identified the World Championships in Frankfurt (12–16 August) as the team’s primary season target, with Varfolomeev positioned as a top favourite there.
