In the final session of competition in Sofia, the senior men took to the floor one last time for their event finals. Just as Great Britain’s Nile Wilson dominated the junior event finals, Russia’s Denis Abliazin showed his dominance in the senior finals, winning all three events in which he competed (floor, rings, and vault)! Interestingly, he shared the top of the podium with teammate Aleksander Balandin after a tie for the gold medal on rings. Things brings Abliazin's final medal count to an impressive four gold medals- the most gold out of anyone at this competition.
