Russia continued its domination of the European Youth Olympic Festival in Tampere on Thursday by winning both all-around titles.
 All-around champion Viktoria Komova (Russia) is flanked by silver medalist Amelia Racea (Romania) and bronze medalist Celine van Gerner (Netherlands).After leading Russia to team victories earlier this week, Viktoria Komova and David Belyavsky claimed the all-around gold medals Thursday.
Komova won the women's gold medal by a 1.5-point margin of victory over Romania's Amelia Racea. Komova, 14, earned the high score of the day on vault (14.750) and scored between 14.000-14.350 on the other three events.
Racea took the high score of the meet with 14.800 on balance beam, but was unable to challenge Komova after scoring just 12.550 on uneven bars. Racea, who won the silver medal on balance beam and the bronze medal on floor exercise at the 2008 Junior European Gymnastics Championships, turns 15 on Aug. 29.
Dutch junior champion Celine van Gerner won the bronze medal, .6 behind Racea. The Dutch women won the team bronze Wednesday behind Russia and Romania.
Russia's Violetta Malikova, fourth, earned the high score of the day on floor exercise (14.050), but her mark of 12.550 on balance beam kept her off the podium. Lithuanian talent Laura Svilpaite, eighth, outscored the field on uneven bars (14.300).
The men's competition was also a 1-2 finish for Russia and Romania, with David Belyavsky defeating Andrei Muntean by another 1.5-point margin of victory. Belyavsky was the top scorer on floor exercise, pommel horse and still rings.
Muntean, whose 15.600 on vault was the highest score of the day, also led the scoring on parallel bars and high bar. Bronze medalist Igor Pakhomenko (Russia) finished .15 behind Muntean.
Competition concludes Friday with the apparatus finals. Check back with International Gymnast Magazine Online for more news and results from the Tampere.
