With one more routine to go in the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Israel’s Daria Atamanov remains in sixth place, making her a long shot for a spot on the podium.
Atamanov finishes seventh out of 10 in the clubs routine, improving from her ninth-place finish with the ball, after earlier snagging fifth overall on the hoop. Her last routine is the ribbon, which she performs to Gad Elbaz’s “Shir Lemaalot.”
Currently, Germany’s Darja Varfolomeev is leading the pack, with Bulgaria’s Boryana Kaleyn just behind.
