European Gymnastics Championships 1983 (men)

The 15th European Men's Gymnastics Championships in 1983 were held in Bulgaria and took place from May 28th to 29th in Varna . The dominance of the athletes from the Soviet Union in the all- around competition with the victory of 16-year-old Dmitri Bilosertschew continued on the individual devices, where they were able to win five titles. Here won Yuri Korolev on parallel bars and was able to defend his title on the ground, but he with the Bulgarian Plamen Petkov had to share. Bilosertschew, who won in jumping and on the horizontal bar, also shared the title on the rings with Petkov. The Hungarian György Guczoghy , like his compatriot Zoltán Magyar , managed to win three times in a row on the pommel horse.
