April 16, 2023 – Croatian gymnast Tin Srbić won the gold medal on the high bar in his third final at the European Championships!
Tin was the best in the last final, which closed this year’s European Championship in Antalya, Turkey.
Tin started the hunt for another big medal as the fifth runner-up. Srbić won the gold with a score of 14,233, while Italian Carlo Macchini was second with 14,200, and Ukrainian Illia Kovtun won bronze with 13,966.
Srbić has now recorded seven of the biggest gymnastics finals – the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, two European Championships, in Szczecin 2019 and Mersin 2020, and three World Championship finals – Montreal 2017, Doha 2018, and Stuttgart 2019. He only failed to make the podium once – in Doha, when he finished 4th in the world.
The great Croatian gymnast has a silver medal from the Olympic Games in Tokyo, as well as gold from the World Championships in Montreal in 2017 and silver from the World Championships two years later in Stuttgart.
This was the 34th European gymnastics final for Croatia since the country became independent. To date, Croatia has won 10 senior medals – 7 silver medals (2 Ude, 2 Srbić, Seligman, Možnik, Benović), one bronze (Seligman), and two gold, which was brought to us by today’s president of HGS Marijo Možnik and the fantastic Srbić.
