Israeli Gymnast Ron Fiatov Places Fourth on Parallel Bars at European Championships
Israeli gymnast Ron Fiatov secured fourth place in the parallel bars final at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships held in Zagreb, Croatia. He scored 14.300 points, narrowly missing the podium by 0.1 points due to a slightly lower difficulty rating of 5.5 compared to British gymnast Joe Fraser's 5.6, who tied with the same score. Fiatov improved significantly from his eighth-place qualification score of 13.966, achieving his best result at the championship.
Fiatov and the senior Israeli team are coached by national coach Sergei Weisburg, Andrei Gribnov, and Ilan Kurzchik, with judges Yaakov Levi and Ilan Gazit and physiotherapist Adam Badir supporting the team. In the junior category, two Israeli gymnasts reached individual finals: Aviv Gossman finished fourth in the floor exercise with 12.700 points, and Tomer Tirosh placed eighth on the pommel horse with 10.733 points. The junior team is coached by Ilan Kurzchik and Alex Miakinin, with judge Daniel Frajin and physiotherapist Liat Kogon attending.
The competition took place on August 22, 2026, showcasing strong performances from both senior and junior Israeli gymnasts at the European level.
