France\u2019s Elena Colas<\/strong> and Great Britain\u2019s Evan McPhillips<\/strong> captured the all-around titles and led their countries to five golds each in the gymnastics competition at the European Youth Olympic Festival that ended Saturday in Osijek, Croatia.<\/p>\n

France earned gold in five of the six girls\u2019 finals, while Great Britain won five of the eight boys\u2019 finals and France took the mixed team final.<\/p>\n

Colas scored 53.75 to earn the girls\u2019 all-around gold over Slovakia\u2019s Lucia Piliarova<\/strong> (51.95), who claimed silver, and Romania\u2019s Alexia Blanaru<\/strong> (51.35), who took bronze.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old Colas, a native of Chambray-L\u00e8s-Tours, won all-around gold, tied for gold on uneven bars and took bronze on vault at last year\u2019s Junior European Championships in Rimini. Earlier this year she won the junior all-around title at the International Gymnix competition in Montreal and captured her second consecutive all-around gold at the French Junior Championships.<\/p>\n

By a margin of just 0.10, McPhillips won the boys\u2019 all-around (78.60), ahead of silver medalist Ivan Rigon<\/strong> of Italy (78.50) and bronze medalist Uzair Chowdhury<\/strong> of Great Britain (77.45).<\/p>\n

McPhillips, a 17-year-old native of Bolton, England, trains at City of Manchester Institute of Gymnastics. He was a member of the gold medal-winning British team at last year\u2019s Junior European Championships in Rimini. McPhillips placed second all-around in the Under 18 division at the 2024 and 2025 British Championships, and first all-around in the Under 18 division at the 2025 English Championships.<\/p>\n
