LAUSANNE (Reuters) - Anton Golotsutskov captured the floor exercise title with a combination of powerful tumbles and perfect landings at the men's European gymnastics championships on Sunday.

The Russian's score of 15.700 edged out Razvan Dorin Selariu of Romania by 0.050 of a point.

Golotsutskov's win handed Russia their second gold of these championships following their team success on Saturday.

Germany's Fabian Hambuechen paid the price for two untidy landings, one of which incurred a penalty for stepping outside the area. He scored 15.375 to finish third.
