Russia, Italy, Canada best at Top Gym in Belgium

Russia's Evgenia Shelgunova won the all-around at the 15th annual Top Gym meet, a competition for youngsters not eligible for the upcoming Olympic Games being held this weekend in Charleroi, Belgium. 

Shelgunova, who also competed at the 2011 Trofeo di Jeoslo, had the highest scores on balance beam (14.15) and floor (14.05) to top Italy's Alessia Leolini and Canadian sensation Shallon Olsen by more than two points in the all-around.

Olsen, who vaults a very good double-twisting Yurchenko, had the highest score of the entire meet with her 15.05 on vault. Russia's Yulia Chemareva, fourth all-around, was best on uneven bars (14.2).  

Belgium's Berangere Fransolet was the top finisher for the host country, finishing tied for seventh overall. 

Top Gym wraps up with women's event finals this afternoon.
