GB men win bronze in thrilling team event

GB men were in last place at the halfway stage of the final

Great Britain's men won bronze after a thrilling team final at the Gymnastics World Championships in Liverpool.

A superb effort on the high bars in the final round propelled the hosts up to a medal position.

Joe Fraser, Giarnni Regini-Moran, Jake Jarman, James Hall and Courtney Tulloch finished behind China in first and Japan who took silver.

The team ended 10.629 points off China and 1.233 points ahead of fourth-placed Italy, who had been 1.200 points ahead of GB with one rotation to go.

The bronze also confirmed GB's spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The men's team, who qualified for the final in second place, were looking to repeat the heroics of the GB women's team who took silver in the team event on Tuesday.

After three rotations, GB sat in last place but were boosted by Fraser's score of 15.000 on the parallel bars.

And on the high bar, Fraser starred again, scoring 14.000 before four-time Commonwealth champion Jarman secured an unlikely bronze for the hosts with a score of 13.100 on the final visit.

It meant GB men finished with an artistic team medal for only the second time, having won silver in Glasgow in 2015.
