Team GB’s Brinn Bevan has taken the pommel horse bronze medal at the European Games in Baku. Brinn, in his first year as a senior gymnast, turned 18 mid-week and celebrated in style putting in a strong and stylish routine scoring 14.200 for bronze. Having already competed in the all-around final Brinn was rightfully proud of his achievements saying: “It’s a fantastic feeling, it was a nervy final but I managed to keep it together and stay on I’m so happy. It caps of a memorable week for me, good qualification, good all- around final and my birthday as well – a really good week all together. Coming in to this I didn’t expect a medal, it’s my first senior international and I’m up against the big names in our sport so to get this bronze, I’m really chuffed with that.” Earlier in the competition Kelly Simm competed in the vault final, her first routine went well scoring 14.333 however unfortunately trying a new difficult vault for her second pass her alignment was off and she couldn't control her landing which gave her a zero score for that pass, placing her in sixth. Like Brinn, Kelly also competed in the all-around final for GBR this week and can be proud of her achievements in Baku. Georgina Hockenhull was the final TeamGB artistic gymnast to compete in the beam competition. She put in a brave performance after an early fall follwoing her first combination of skills, she did well to regroup and completed a superb routine with a perfectly stuck dismount for 11.833 and sixth place. .
