Greece’s “Lord of the Rings” Petrounias did it again at European Championships!

The fourth consecutive gold medal!

Newsroom August 12 08:21

 

Greece has scooped another medal at the European Championships with a stunning performance by gymnast Lefteris Petrounias, Greece’s own “lord of the rings”.

He claimed a fourth consecutive gold in Glasgow on the still rings with an impressive final display on Sunday, racking up 15,466 points.

The 27-year-old current Olympic champion has now equaled the record of Italian gymnast Yuri Keki who took gold at four successive European championships (1990, 1992, 1994, 1996).
