Three weeks before the European Championships in artistic gymnastics at the "Expo" in Tel Aviv, a list of competitors was published to compete for the most important continental title.
A total of 38 countries will compete in the championship, not including Russia and Belarus who were banned from competing after the invasion of Ukraine, with 295 gymnasts, including 198 female and 97 girls, while together with all the coaches, staff and judges 529 guests will come to Israel.
The Israeli team will include Daria Atmanov and Adi Katz in the personal senior category.
The band's gymnasts in the group senior category: Hadar Friedman, Ofir Shaham, Diana Svertsov, Shani Baknov, Rumi Paritzky, Amit Hedvat, Emily Malka, Michaela Moshe and Shani Katiev.
In the individual junior category, four gymnasts will compete who will be finally selected near the time of the competition.
The team is led by head national coach Ayelet Sussman, along with three coaches Ela Smoplov, Natasha Stepanova and Natalie Malka, assistant coaches Ida Meirin and Alona Kushvetsky and team manager Natasha Asmolov.

In the fight for the gold medal, she will try to win last year's European runner-up, Boriana Klein.
The Bulgarian, who finished fifth in the Tokyo Olympics, those games for which Linoy Ashram won the gold medal, decided to continue for another campaign, trying to get the highest on the podium in Tel Aviv.
Whoever tries to ruin it, is perhaps the hottest name in the industry today, 18-year-old Italian Sophia Raffaelli, who surprised last year with the silver medal in the hoop, but has since collected medals in the round competitions and will want to do so here as well.
Rafaeli's teammate Milena Baldasari, who was ranked sixth at the Tokyo Olympics and finished the 2018 World Championships with the silver medal in the film, will also try to screw up high.
Meanwhile, there is great interest among ticket buyers, who already in the first days, thousands of tickets were sold and the union hopes that the hall will be full on all days of the competitions.
