GYMNASTICS

RHYTHMIC SEMIFINALS
Ekaterina Serebryanskaya of Ukraine was the high scorer, with
39.332 points, despite a disappointing second routine. She
dropped one of her clubs and as a result dropped to fourth
place, but she worked her way back up with the best ribbon and
rope routines of the day. Her teammate Elena Vitrichenko
finished second, with 39.266. Ianina Batyrchina of Russia
finished in third place, with a score of 39.232. Ukraine, Russia
and Belarus all placed two gymnasts in the group of 10 that
advances to today's final.
