Anna Pobokova (16), Dutch champion rhythmic gymnastics and 'one of European rising stars in sport' and Lisa Vos (16, Dutch vice-national champion) can qualify both during Boston Invitational for the European Championships in Kiev (Ukraine) in June 2004. The Royal Dutch Gymnastics Federation has recently made this decision. Pobokova and Vos have to reach a score of 60.500 on three of four exercises, with highest results add together.
At highest level they will compete with Anahi Sosa (Argentina) and gymnasts from the United States, Canada, Czech Republic and Romania. In 2002 Anna Pobokova competed in the European Championships in Granada (Spain) and last year in the World Championships in Hungary. For Lisa Vos it would be the first time to participate in a European Championship.
