Scotland's Dan Keatings put his London 2012 heartbreak behind him by winning Commonwealth gold on the pommel horse in Glasgow's SSE Hydro. The 24-year-old produced a stunning routine in front of his home crowd to score 16.058 and see off the challenge of the returning Englishman Louis Smith and triple Commonwealth gold medal winner Max Whitlock. Whitlock claimed the silver medal with a score of 15.966, while Smith took away bronze in his first major competition since the Olympics two years ago with a mark of 14.966.
