British Boys Take European Championship Great Britain’s junior male gymnasts have once again proved their dominance of European gymnastics by claiming their fourth straight European team title. Brinn Bevan, Nile Wilson, Giarnni-Regini Moran and Joe Fraser put in outstanding performances to score 254.094 for gold ahead of Russia in silver scoring 252.395. The success continues a trend starting back in 2008 when the likes of Olympians Sam Oldham, Dan Purvis and Dan Keatings helped GBR to their first junior title which was again matched in 2010 and 2012. Each of the British boys contributed great routines, small mistakes on pommel horse, the only errors in a fantastic competition. Competing alongside the Russians the British boys always led and despite the late falls they easily took the gold. It was Nile Wilson, the 2012 European junior all-around silver medal winner, who led the way performing superbly on all six apparatus to score 85.565 points for the team, the highest all-around score of the event qualifying him confidently through to Friday’s final. Brinn Bevan will join Nile in the all-around final after also completing a fault free competition for GBR scoring 83.856 for third. Nile described the boys' pride afterwards saying: “This is my second European junior team title and its very special. To continue the gold medal tradition in this event had its pressure but we all stood up to the challenge and we are very proud to have kept on that run for our country. We have worked very, very hard for this and it showed today as all the boys put in the performances. It was a bit nervy at the end but once the scores were confirmed there was just massive relief, we are all very, very happy.” To reinforce the team's superb showing there are also 11 apparatus finals for the team to look forward to on Sunday as gymnasts qualified in the top eight on each of the six men’s apparatus. Nile topped both the parallel bars and high bar standings and will also compete in the rings and pommel final, Brinn Bevan will compete on rings and parallel bars. Giarnni-Regini Moran topped the vault rankings and will also compete alongside Jay Thompson in the floor final, Jay also competing for high bar and vault honours. Competition reports Starting on rings the boys looked strong and ready for the title fight. All the boys hit their routines nicely with especially good dismounts, Jay Thompson scoring 13.966, Joe Fraser 13.666 with Brinn Bevan 14.200 and Nile Wilson 14.200 executing highly difficult routines. On vault the team all demonstrated high skills and good control of their landings. Jay Thompson and Giarnni-Regini Moran both performed two passes as they aimed for vault finals, the first of which went towards the team total. Jay scored 14.600 for his first and 14.366 in his second vault for a 14.483 average and Giarnni 14.900 and 14.633 for an average of 14.766. Brinn Bevan (14.366) and Nile Wilson (14.533) continued their strong all-around performances while also contributing great scores for the team. On parallel bars Nile Wilson stole the show, the most difficult routine and the highest scoring for a massive 15.066 points. Joe Fraser scored 14, Giarnni 14.133 and Brinn Bevan 14.533 continuing Britain’s clean competition at the half way mark. Again on high bar, it was Nile who led the way for the team and proved his high skill level with a routine packed with difficulty, he punched the air on landing to score 14.033. Jay Thompson (13.666) and Brinn Bevan (13.566) weren’t far off Nile's standard, executing beautifully composed performances with Giarnni-Regini Moran also competing cleanly to score 13.266. Giarnni was outstanding on the floor, his complex twisting tumbles standing out and impressing the judges to score 14.366. Jay Thompson was also in great form for 14.333 with Nile scoring 14.133 and Brinn 13.858 to continue their formidable competitions. On to the final apparatus, the pommel horse and the British boys knew that a good, solid performance would be enough for the title. Brinn Bevan and Nile Wilson again led the way contributing high scores for the team of 13.333 and 13.600. Jay Thompson and Joe Fraser did count falls on their pommel routines but both were well composed to jump back on and complete for respectable scores of 12.800 and 12.933. The championships continue Thursday 22nd as Britain’s senior men’s team – Daniel Purvis, Kristian Thomas, Max Whitlock, Daniel Keatings and Sam Oldham compete in their qualification. .

  • Britain's Nile Wilson Is the 2014 European Junior All-Around
    Britain’s Nile Wilson is the 2014 European junior all-around gymnastics champion with teammate Brinn Bevan taking the bronze medal. Nile controlled the event in Sofia while Brinn tussled for the podium places with Russia’s Starikov going right to the final routine; Nile scored 84.646 with Brinn scoring 82.932 and Starikov 83.540 Competing across all six men’s apparatus the all-around champion truly defines the most complete gymnast. Nile was outstanding throughout, great difficulty levels and range of skills across all pieces with top scoring high bar, vault, pommel and floor performances the standout routines as he follows his 2012 European all-around silver to become the champion. Brinn was also exceptional, as he produced the top rings and second best high bar and pommel routines of the day. The medals continue a fine week that has already seen the junior team crowned champions for the fourth successive championships with more medal opportunities in apparatus finals on Sunday. Nile said after: “It’s the best feeling in the world, coming in to this I had a lot of pressure which may be showed in the first few routines but I put my head together gritted my teeth and went for it. I was saying to myself have a big heart, focus and let’s nail these routines. It’s just brilliant I couldn’t be happier or more proud to stand with the gold medal and hear our national anthem.” Brinn said “I’m well happy, there were a few mistakes and I could have been better but I still have the bronze medal which is fantastic.

  • Amy Tinkler and Daniel Purvis Have Been Crowned Senior All-Around
    Amy Tinkler and Daniel Purvis have been crowned senior all-around men’s and women’s British Champions at the Echo Area, Liverpool in a thrilling day of world class gymnastics action. In the men’s event, Daniel Purvis, who last won the British all-around title back in 2012, took the top spot in convincing style. The experienced gymnast put in clean performances across all six pieces of apparatus to take the title with 88.500. He said after ““I’m really, really happy to be the champion again. When you get older and see these incredible young gymnasts coming through you begin to doubt yourself so to again be British Champion is really satisfying. The energy I got from the home crowd was unbelievable, really out there with any competition I’ve ever done it definitely helped me to the title.” It was Dan’s teammate and fellow Scot, Frank Baines who took the silver medal. After a few nervy competitions of late, the 2012 Junior European Champion proved here he has what it takes to challenge the best. He finished with 86.350. Completing the podium was Sam Oldham of Loughborough Students and James Hall of Pegasus who tied for the bronze medal. James Hall has improved immensely in the past year and this position proves the hard work is paying off. Sam Oldham had to count a few major errors but looked good back on all six pieces of apparatus and will be sure to build on this experience. In 5th place was City of Birmingham’s Dominick Cunningham (85.500) and 6th South Essex’s Brinn Bevan (83.950).
