Kovacs was a close winner of the gold medal after two strong efforts in the vault, winning her first European title with a score of 14.050.

Iordache and Ukraine's Anastasia Motak were close behind with totals of 13.875 and 13.850 to win the silver and bronze medals respectively.

Kovacs made it two for two with victory in the uneven bars half an hour later, with a total of 13.850 ahead of her team-mate Zoja Szekely.

Slovakia's Barbora Mokosova claimed the bronze medal, edging out Iordache who finished fourth.

However in her comeback competition, the Romanian won the gold medal in the beam final with a score of 14.000 with a high execution score helping her to win the title ahead of her compatriot Silviana Sfrifingu.

Motak won her second bronze of the evening in the beam too, winning a tiebreaker against team-mate Anastasia Bachynska for the final medal.

Iordache's second gold came later in the floor event after an inquiry into her score saw it raised by four tenths to 13.450, enough to claim the win in that discipline.

Göksu Üçtaş Şanlı in Turkey had to settle for silver instead, which was her nation's first-ever medal in the women's event.

Lihie Raz of Israel won the bronze medal, securing her spot for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the process.

Iordache made her return to competitive gymnastics for the first time in three years due to injuries.

Her three medals now make her the second-most decorated woman at the European Championships with 16 medals, with only Russian Svetlana Khorkina winning more, with 20.

In the junior finals earlier in the day, Romania's Ana Barbosu completed a dominant medal haul across the board in all four individual events.

The first of these was in the vault, where she scored 13.975, finishing ahead of Bulgaria's Valentina Georgieva who displayed a solid challenge; and the distant Daria Lyska of Ukraine who won the bronze.

There was no close challenge on the uneven bars for Barbosu, winning by over a point to silver medallist Sara Sulekic of Croatia with a score of 13.450.

Turkey's Derin Tanriyasukur took bronze in the same competition.

Despite finishing with the same score as Hungary's Greta Mayer in the beam, Barbosu was again confirmed the European champion due to having a higher execution score. 

Both gymnasts were comfortably ahead of a second Romanian, Andreea Preda with the top two scoring 13.100 to Preda's 12.700.

Barbosu was again joined by Mayer on the podium after the Romanian won the floor event too with a total of 13.250.

Her Romanian team-mate Maria Ceplinschi was second, marginally ahead of Mayer, who was the only other junior gymnast aside from Barbosu to make the podium more than once on the day.
