In the men’s duo, Miguel Lopes and Gonçalo Parreira grabbed gold in the dynamic routine and two bronzes in balance and all-around. Beatriz Carneiro and Inês Faria secured silver in the women’s balance, while Lara Fernandes and Guilherme Henriques added a bronze in the mixed dynamic event.
With a medal tally of four golds, one silver, and three bronzes, Portugal topped the podium, edging out Israel and Ukraine for the European crown.
