Darja Varfolomeev of Germany competes during the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around final during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
One year after achieving an historic sweep at the world championships, Germany’s Darja Varfolomeev has been crowned Olympic all-around champion. Bulgaria’s Boryana Kaleyn finished second and Italy’s Sofia Raffaeli finished third.
After dropping her ball mid-routine during the qualifying round, Varfolomeev finished second, but during the final when medals were on the line, she performed without fault.
She had a remarkably consistent day, scoring 36.300 for her hoop routine, 36.500 for her ball routine, 36.350 for her clubs routine and 33.700 for her ribbon routine to secure the gold.
