What a year it has been for County Down teenager, Rhys McClenaghan…
After winning Commonwealth Games Gold on the pommel horse, he then matched that achievement just three months later in the World Cup.
Now the 19=year-old from Newtownards, has added European Championships Gold after victory in Glasgow where he notched up a personal best score of 15.300.
