Israel’s national rhythmic gymnastics team resumed its impressive run this season by grabbing another gold medal on Sunday, taking home the title in the ribbons final at the Thiais Grand Prix in France.
After starting the gymnastics season right last month by taking home two bronze in the Moscow Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix 2016, the Israeli rhythmic gymnastics team comprised of Alona Koshevatskiy, Karina Lykhvar, Yuval Filo, Ekaterina Levina and Ida Mayrin showed their dominance at the Thiais Grand Prix by finishing with a score of 17.9 in the ribbons event final, successfully surpassing Belarus and Ukraine.
The Israel national gymnastics team finished fifth overall in the all-around competition. The Israeli women successfully grabbed their spot at the Summer Olympics last December after finishing seventh in the individual all-around final of the 2015 World Championships held in Stuttgart, Germany.
Medals are only awarded in the all-around event at the Games.
The national team will participate in the Israel Gymnastics Championships, which will take place at the Malha Arena in Jerusalem. The 32nd European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships will take place in Holon in June (17th to 19th of June, 2016).
The 2016 edition of the Israel Gymnastics Championships will be the second time that the event will take place in the city of Jerusalem.
