In the tiebreak match that followed Kateryna defeated Nadezhda in both their rapid (15'+10") games to take the title of European Individual Women's Champion 2005. Elena Dembo of Greece won the tie-break for the Bronze medal.

European women's Champion 2005: Kateryna Lahno
The new European Champion, whose name is originally Ekaterina Lagno, is 15, hails from Lvov but has spent most of her life in the industrial and chess-friendly town of Kramatorsk. Recently she moved to Donetsk, where the Ukraine company Danko is sponsoring her.
The European Championship yielded 18 passes to the Women's World Championship. Some of the top scorers had already qualified in other events, so that the first nineteen players in this event – that is everyone with eight points or more, secured a place, with three additional passes left over. That meant that all players with 7½ points, except those who were pre-qualified, had to play a tiebreak for these three places. They went to IM Almira Skripchenko and WGMs Anna Ushenina and Natasa Bojkovic.
