2023 Euros - Women's All Around Final

Tonight sees the Women's All-Around final at the Antalya Sports Hall and I expect it to be hotly contested. Great Britain's Jessica Gadirova comes in as the top qualifier, with Hungarian Zsofia Kovacs and Italian Alice D'Amato rounding out the top three in qualification. First reserve Bianca Frysak comes in to replace France's Marine Boyer who is out due to medical reasons according to the French Gymnastics Federation. Wishing Marine a super speedy recovery and we hope she is well. Believing in a smoother live stream experience tonight as well. Lovely navy and silver diamante leotard for Tanya Paulsson. Black leo with white sleeves and diamantes for Morganne Osyssek-Reimer. Ohhh I love Thorsdottir's leotard!! Actually, I am yet to see a leotard I am not a fan of. D'Amato's leotard, Kovacs', Gadirova's, and Vaelen's are stunning. Not a fan of the silver and black version of the British leotard that Georgia-Mae Fenton is wearing, and whilst I love ...
