This is the sixth medal at the European Championships for the Israeli, after winning gold in a major competition in 2020 and bronze in hoop and clubs exercises in 2017.
The Israeli is trying to get up to speed ahead of the Olympics, after winning two gold and one bronze medal at the World Cup held in Sofia almost two-and-a-half months ago.
Ashram has won 11 major medals so far in her glittering career.
“I feel great, I feel like I have improved,” she said after the competition, adding that there would be “other competitions by then, but we are getting ready for the Olympic Games.”
