In disbelief, the protégé of trainer Julia Raskina clapped his hands in front of his face when the second triumph within 45 minutes was perfect. The German Vice Champion Margarita Kolosov from Potsdam came in fifth with the hoop.

Varfolomeev is one of the top favorites in all finals of this year’s World Championships in Valencia. The World Championships will continue on Thursday with the ribbon and clubs decisions, and the qualification for the all-around decision on Saturday will also be completed. Varfolomeev had already secured a German quota place for the 2024 Olympics in Paris last year.
