Nile Wilson Has Taken the European High Bar Title on the Final Day of the 2016 European Championships in Bern, Switzerland Nile Wilson has taken the European high bar title on the final day of the 2016 European Championships in Bern, Switzerland. With a daring and extremely difficult routine, Nile managed to hold off the competition and post a strong score of 15.300 to take the gold in his first senior Europeans. Nile’s closest competition was in fact teammate Kristian Thomas who also performed superbly to score 15.000 and make it a 1-2 for GB to take the silver medal. It is the first time a British gymnast has won the European high bar title; making these an historic championships for GB as the team goes from strength to strength in the lead up to Rio. Nile Wilson reacted after breaking history: “That feeling is just incredible; you train your whole life for moments like that standing on the top of podium singing the national anthem with a gold medal. I want to thank everyone at home for their incredible support, my club my coach and everyone at British Gymnastics and all the support team - I’m so proud to have done it for everyone. To be standing there with our team captain Kristian, someone who has helped me so much and is such a great role model makes it even more special. I felt the nerves before my routine but had to stay focussed, I knew I had it in me and I did it. We move forward to focus on Rio now – let’s do this!” Kristian Thomas spoke after: “It’s a great way to end the event personally and for GB. Nile deserves huge credit to go last out and produce a routine like that. I’ve had a brilliant week, it’s been all about consistency and proving the kind of from I’m in and to then end with a silver medal on the podium with a teammate is perfect.” GB was also represented across several other senior finals. On the pommel horse, world silver medallist Louis Smith unfortunately lost his hand placement half way through his routine and slipped, rolling backwards off the pommel. With a complex routine, he still finished strongly scoring 14.733 and placing 4th. In the floor final, Great Britain was represented by Daniel Purvis and Kristian Thomas. Kristian performed a strong routine, upping his game from qualification scoring 15.041 which gave him 6th. Dan had to count a few unstable landings in his routine, ending up with 14.633 and 8th place. Courtney Tulloch was representing GB in the rings final, Courtney held his own in a very strong final, showcasing incredible strength and scoring a 15.566 to finish in in =4th. In the vault final, Kristian Thomas performed a very strong first vault, posting a world class score of 15.533. His second vault was a slightly lower difficulty and with a pace back on landing her scored a 14.733 giving him and average Kristian 4th 15.149 average and just missing out on a medal in 4th.

  • England's Max Whitlock Continued His Dominance of the Commonwealth Games Artistic Gymnastics Competitions with a World Class D
    England’s Max Whitlock continued his dominance of the Commonwealth Games artistic gymnastics competitions with a world class display to take gold in the men’s all-around final. Max is one of Britain’s greats and this performance will no doubt have resonated around the gymnastics world. His score of 90.631 is only achievable by a select handful of gymnasts as he demonstrated his ability on all apparatus to take the Commonwealth crown. Dan Keatings of Scotland took the silver medal with another superb display of skills across the apparatus and again a performance worthy of any major championships scoring a mighty 88.298 points. England’s Nile Wilson, in his first competition as a senior gymnast was equally impressive, the 18 year old fighting of Olympian Dan Purvis to take the bronze with his outstanding routines particularly on parallel and high bars. Max described his emotions afterwards: “Since London 2012 the all-around has been the target for me and to pull it all off today has been incredible. I wasn’t paying much attention to the scores I just wanted to do my job out there. I can’t explain the feeling, it’s crazy, before the final routine (high bar) I was so nervous, so for everything to come together and to stick my final landing like I did is unreal!” Dan Keatings was delighted to have proved himself once more in the all-around competition “I haven’t competed in a major all-around event for a long time and I’m very proud to have performed so well and won this medal for Scotland.

  • Our British Men's Team of Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas, Louis Smith MBE
    Our British men’s team of Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas, Louis Smith MBE, Daniel Purvis and Courtney Tulloch have qualified 2nd into this Saturday's 2016 European Championship team final with a total score of 267.020. Finishing just 0.705 behind Russia in first with 267.725 and ahead of home country Switzerland in third with 263.662, GB looked calm and composed as they set out to make finals. With three gymnasts competing on each apparatus and all scores counting towards the team total, it was a tense competition as each country looked to make the top eight and make it into the team final. With no all-around event at these championships, individually it was all about apparatus finals with the top eight gymnasts on each piece of apparatus making it through. On the floor, Dan scored a strong 14.966 to make the final in 4th with Kristian joining him in 8th with 14.833. Over on the pommel, Louis Smith performed beautifully to top qualification and make the final with 15.833. Lord of the rings Courtney Tulloch shone on his favoured piece of apparatus scoring a world class 15.466 to make the final in 6th. On the vault, Kristian powered his way to the final in 6th with an average of 14.866. Finally on the high bar, both Kristian and Nile performed superb routines to both score 15.033 and head into the final in 1st and 2nd respectively (Kristian just edging out Nile on execution). Kristian Thomas: “We’re very satisfied with our performance as a team, a great job by everyone today.
