Russia won the senior men's team competition at the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, August 9-12. The format for the team finals was 3-up-3-count. Going into the last rotation, Russia had a 1-point lead over Great Britain. Unfortunately for Great Britain, its hopes for gold vanished when both Dom Cunningham and James Hall fell. "I feel happy because we have become European champions three times in a row," said Russia's Nikolai Kuksenkov.
Senior Men's Team: 1. Russia 257.260; 2. GBR 253.362; 3. France 246.928; 4. Germany 243.629; 5. Switzerland 243.462; 6. Spain 239.461; 7. Turkey 239.361; 8. Italy 222.327.
