May 4 will go down in gymnastics history as a significant day. For the first time, star athletes will compete in cross-encounters. Based on the results of the qualifying competitions among senior athletes in the all-around, 16 senior individual gymnasts have been selected to participate in the cross-encounters. In the round of 16, 8 of them will perform in the ball routine, while the remaining 8 will compete in the hoop routine. The winners will then qualify for the quarter-finals.

Now, we present to you the star line-up of gymnasts who will face off against each other. The gymnasts competing in the hoop routine are: Sofia Raffaeli vs. Anna Khutsishvili, Zohra Agamirova vs. Kristina Dragan, Daria Atamanov vs. Aleksandra Kiroy Bogatireva, and Vera Tuqolukova vs. Kristina Poqranična. The gymnasts competing in the ball routine are: Yekaterina Vedeneva vs. Panagiota Litra, Stiliana Nikolova vs. Kamilla Seyidzade, Daniyela Myunits vs. Milena Baldasari, and Boryana Kaleyn vs. Andrea Verdes.
