Greece have won their first ever gold medal at the European
Games, courtesy of Eleftherios Petrounias's success in the men's rings final.
The 24-year-old world champion managed to edge out Russian
Federation's Nikita Ignatyev, who was seeking a second gold at these inaugural
Games.
Petrounias scored 15.633 at the National Gymnastics Arena to
edge out his opponent's tally of 15.333, meaning top spot for Greece for the
first time in Baku.
Turkey's Ibrahim Colak secured bronze, meanwhile, ensuring
that there would be no medal for Azerbaijan's Oleg Stepko who had earlier taken
silver in the men's pommel horse.
