Elīna Vihrova

She is the 2019 Latvian national champion and the 2020 Szombathely Challenge Cup balance beam silver medalist, and has competed at two World Championships (2018, 2019).

She then competed at the Voronin Cup, where she placed fifth in the all-around, but won the bronze medal due to the two-per-country rule; the four gymnasts ahead of her – Elena Eremina, Elizaveta Kochetkova, Viktoria Trykina, and Varvara Zubova – all represented Russia.

Vihrova rebounded at the VTB Cup in October, winning the title over Ukrainians Tetiana Mokliak and Daria Murzhak.

In September, she competed at the 2019 Szombathely Challenge Cup, finishing fifth on vault and fourth on beam, narrowly missing a medal by 0.100 points.

Vihrova again competed as a guest for the Spanish League, contributing the highest floor score of the day for her host club, as well as vault and bars.

Vihrova chose Penn State over five other universities and was influenced by her attendance at the nearby Woodward Gymnastics Camp over the past six summers.

[8] In December, at the rescheduled 2020 European Championships, featuring a depleted field due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, Vihrova qualified to three event finals after falling on floor in qualifications.
