Russia's Alya Mustafina has picked up another gold at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
The sport’s rising star won the all-around event in the Netherlands to add to her success in the team event.
The 16-year-old led from the start, with the best result in the vault, and stayed in control throughout, courtesy of top-three finishes on the uneven bars, balance beam and floor.
China's Jiang Yuan claimed silver, with American Rebecca Bross settling for bonze.
Mustafina is now a double World Champion, but is gunning for more glory. Another four medals are up for grabs in the apparatus finals this weekend.

PR101. I do not want to be impolite and I know that there is stupidities as you noticed all over the World; mostly, in the supposed to be developed nations. It seems to me that it will be better not to mention them. In sports, it is more interesting to write or speak about performances, talents and good behavior. Exceptionally, it is interesting to learn that a great sportive and a decent person like Maria Sharapova became engaged to a nice guy...Sincerely...JCM
Meslin no my friend there is nothing innocent about names.. did you forget what is happening in the U.S at the moment-- thousands of young Muslim engineers are changing their names in order to apply good paying jobs or Jews in WWII some who had to change their names in order to "pass" as not Jews to save their lives? No there is nothing priviate about our names-- names carry symbolic meanings.. Europe has declared war on Muslims-- Russia has not...
Yes, the wonderful champion, Aliya Mustafina, is Tatar and Muslim.
