The 2020 Tokyo Olympics featured the best athletes in the world of gymnastics, including the rhythmic discipline.
Currently, the rankings have Linoy Ashram (Israel) as the top overall rhythmic gymnast in the world, but she is not competing at this world championship. She is followed by Alina Harnasko and Anastasiia Salos of Belarus, then Dina and Arina Averina of Russia.
In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Bulgaria took home gold in the team all-around rhythmic event, with the Russian Olympic Committee and Italy taking silver and bronze, respectively.
Ashram won the individual gold, the only medal Israel received in this event overall. Dina Averina won the silver and Harnasko won the bronze, with Arina Averina coming up just short in fourth place.
As the events have started this week, Dina Averina has already taken home two titles, bringing her two steps closer to history. She is now tied with Evgeniya Kanaeva (Russia) for the most individual apparatus golds at a World Championship and with 15 golds overall, she is within two of the record of 17, set back in 2011.
Can Averina become the most decorated rhythmic gymnast of all-time this week at the FIG World Championships? She is on the cusp, but her sister may be her biggest competition.
Regional restrictions may apply.
