The blue on their laurels, with an encore of medals, on the first day of the European Artistic Gymnastics in Munich.
Asia D'Amato took the gold medal, offending her best with a simply perfect performance.
The 19 year old athlete of Genoese origin was truly unsurpassed in the general competition, scoring a total of 54,732 points and leaving behind the British Alice Kinsella, who failed to go beyond the score of 54,132.
The formidable blue day on German soil was completed by Martina Maggio, who scored 53,965 points after her performance, but she was enough to get the bronze medal around her neck.
D'Amato succeeds Vanessa Ferrari who, just 15 years ago, won the continental title.
The Ligurian scored 13,766 points in the vaulting, 13,900 in the parallels, 13,500 in the beam, 13,566 in the free body and she was therefore able to get her hands on the gold.
At the Maggio the regret for having fallen to the asymmetrical parallels remains, otherwise she could certainly have aspired to something more than a bronze medal. "I can say that certain emotions cannot really be described - the words of D'Amato, after the race, in Raisport. - I thought I could aspire to a step on the podium, but honestly I didn't even imagine winning a gold medal. I'm very happy with this success and now, in the team final, we want to confirm ourselves, aiming directly for success. At the Olympic Games in Paris, then,
we want to take what we missed in Tokyo. "" I'm happy with today's race, I made a small mistake on the parallels, but this bronze can't be explained: I'm happy.
For me it is a rematch, "added Maggio.
