Olympic champion Yevgenia Kanayeva mined her sixth gold medal Friday at the rhythmic world championships in Montpellier, completing a total sweep of the individual titles.

In her closest competition this week, Kanayeva narrowly defended her all-around title over Russian teammate Daria Kondakova, 116.650-116.600. Azeri gymnast Aliya Garayeva won the bronze with 112.450.

Kanayeva is now the most successful rhythmic gymnast in history, with 17 world championship gold medals, including three world all-around titles. She is the only gymnast to sweep six gold medals at a world championships, having first swept the 2009 Worlds. Next summer, she will attempt to be the first rhythmic gymnast to win two Olympic all-around titles.

"I'm very tired," said Kanayeva, a native of Omsk. "It was the fifth day, and each time I had to prove myself, always under stress, and the fatigue accumulates. Now I will rest — for one week exactly."

The top 15 gymnasts in Friday's all-around final earn berths to the 2012 Olympic Games. Gymnasts ranking 16-24 in the all-around final earned invitations for their nations to the second Olympic qualification event in January.

Competition continues Saturday in Montpellier with the group qualification.
