Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat won the gold medal for the floor exercise at the European Championships on Sunday, securing the gold medal with a score of 15.000. Dolgopyat also won the bronze medal for vault with a score of 14.766.
Israeli gymnast Alexander Myakinin won bronze on the high bar event with a score of 14.200.
Dolgopyat was a favorite going into the competition, in part because of the absence of Russian competitor Artur Dalaloyan, who is considered his primary competition, according to Walla News.
