Belarus won a golden double in the men’s and women’s trampoline events at today’s European Championships in Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline and Tumbling in Baku. 

Belarus were comfortable winners in the women’s final even after Maria Makharynskaya’s early exit at the National Gymnastics Arena.

The 2014 European champion Hanna Hancharova showed her teammates how to control their nerves, beating a French team competing with three gymnasts by more than two points.

Portugal overtook Russia to claim the bronze medal.

In the men’s competition the teams from Russia and Belarus both excelled, delivering a thrilling final.

Eternal rivals Hancharou and Ushakov were the only gymnasts to score above 60 points, 61.530 and 60.495 respectively.

Their team-mates followed in their footsteps, not missing a single routine.

In double mini-trampoline Russia upgraded to double gold.
