Schmölzer surprises with 3rd place in the vault competition
Austria's talented gymnast Paul Schmölzer celebrated a great World Cup premiere on Sunday!
The 20-year-old from Upper Austria was delighted with third place in the vault competition in Varna, Bulgaria. "I am overwhelmed. First World Cup and a medal straight away - that's really unbelievable. I still can't believe it, it's just wow," said a delighted Schmölzer. He came 15th on this apparatus at the European Championships a month ago.
In Varna, he only qualified for the final of the top 8 by a wafer-thin margin in eighth place (tied on points with the ninth-placed Kazakh). However, Schmölzer improved a lot in the final. With 13.75 points, he was only behind Ukraine's Nazar Tschepurnji (14.383), who came third in the 2023 World Championships, and France's Nicolas Diez (14.100).
