The 42nd Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Frankfurt, Germany, have concluded with Darja Varfolomeev securing her third consecutive all-around world title. Despite a “shaky start” with the hoop, where she scored 28.300 points, the 19-year-old German athlete recovered through strong performances in the ball, clubs, and ribbon apparatuses to finish with a total of 119.500 points. ~~Varfolomeev~~ Varfolomeev’s clubs routine was particularly notable, earning a high score of 31.500. She finished 1.900 points ahead of Bulgaria’s Stiliana Nikolova to claim the championship, while Italy’s Sofia Raffaeli took the bronze medal. This victory marks Varfolomeev’s 12th career world championship gold medal. Other international participants included the Slovakian delegation. Individualist Tereza Šaranová, who had previously qualified for the A-group, finished 71st in the all-around qualification with a cumulative score of 65.450 points. Her highest individual apparatus score was 22.950 for clubs. The Slovakian team also included a five-member group consisting of Nina Cillingová, Natália Gašparová, Veronika Ivanová, Paula Šošková, and Timea Žiaková.
