The European Parliament and the Council may discuss the implications of sports, such as gymnastics and sports-betting, in light of Darja Varfolomeev's recent successes in rhythmic gymnastics competitions, including her gold medal win at the Senior Ribbon final of the 2025 European Championships. Darja Varfolomeev's continued dominance in gymnastics, along with her ambitious plans to compete in the World Championships later this year, may prompt increased attention and regulations surrounding sports-betting associated with her performances.
