Dina Averina put on a masterclass at the FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup event in Moscow on Sunday as Russia swept the board with all six gold medals.

Following the multiple world champion's success in Saturday's individual all-round competition, Averina won all four of the individual disciplines in hoop, ball, club and ribbon.

Her compatriot Lala Kramarenko had to settle for the silver medal in all four events, while Ekaterina Vedeneeva of Slovenia picked up three bronzes.

The other went to Latvia's Jelizaveta Polstjanaja in the individual hoop class.

Russia also won the team events - their quintet of Anastasia Biznyuk, Anastasia Maksimova, Angelina Shkatova, Anastasia Tatareva and Alisa Tishchenko proved too good for the rest in the 5 Balls and the 3 Hoops / 2 Pairs of Clubs competitions.
