When after the Juniors the final highlight of the 32. Gymnastics-European Championships Men's began, the hopes of the hosts were especially high, and the Silver and Bronze of the previous year on the pommel horse became this year Gold and Silver the opposite way round for Daniel KEATINGS and Louis SMITH!
<< The Hallenser Matthias FAHRIG is for the first time the floor European Champion and behind the surprise European Champion Tomi TUUHA from Finnland is also "vice" with vault.
Italy's Matteo MORANDI was successful with the rings and  YANN CUCHERAT (FRA) defended his title equally successfully on the parallel bars, like the Greek  Vlasios MARAS on the high-bar, where behind Epke ZONDERLAND (NED) the two Germans Philipp BOY and Fabian HAMBÜCHEN each got a Bronze medal...

For the first time ever the German gymnasts win the Gold medal at a Team-European Championship.
After Silver behind Russia two years ago, they won the Gold in Birmingham today with 266,150 points and a comfortable advantage over the host  Great Britain(263,025), who, in the last Team-European Championship didn't even reach the finals with the 9th place! 

France

Bronze goes sensationally to Pablo Brägger from Switzerland. It is the first all-around medal ever for the Swiss in a Junior championship.

Team-European Champion of Lausanne 2008 has cancelled, but ...?!
The well known situation due to the Islandic ash, but also due to bureaucratic European rules, has led to sensitive cancellations of entire gymnastics nations in participating in the coming European Championships Mens in the English World Championship city of 1993, in Birmingaham. So one did not expect the title holder of Lausanne 2008 - Russia to arrive, as stated by the British head of the press Vera ATKINSON, however apparently...

... and again an enthusiastic gymnastics atmosphere in Dessau
With the team of Fabian Hambüchen, Philipp Boy, Marcel Nguyen, Matthias Fahrig and Eugen Spiridonov there was a clear country win with 269,000 : 246,600 by the German gymnasts in the Anhalt-Arena to Dessau.

Infront of a thrilled audience of over 1.800 people it was a little bumpy on the first apparatus for the hosts (on the floor)  - and the Polish started pretty well on the rings, vault and bars (131,950 by half-time)  - but in the comparison of the apparatus they clearly strode infornt of the others.

Especally with the bars and a great high bar round the German men flew past the Polish guests up to an end difference of  - 22,400 points...
