Last updated 3rd Aug 2022
It's been a flipping golden success for Team England's gymnasts at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Both male and female events have seen medal success with the English gymnasts finding themselves on the podium.
First set of medals came from the team event with both male and female categories winning gold, including Sutton Coldfield's Alice Kinsella, and Birmingham local, Joe Fraser.
Then stand-out star, Jake Jarman, began winning his own collection of medals leaving the competition with four golds, from the floor, vault, team and all-round events.
Brummie, Joe Fraser, got a gold on the Pommel Horse, missed out on a medal in the Rings, but pulled it back on the final day with a gold on the Parallel Bars.
Sadly, Joe fell off the High Bar leaving him out the medals.
Carrying on the golden glory, Courtney Tulloch defended his title on the Rings securing the gold.
Giarnni Regini-Moran secured a bronze on the Floor, silver on the Vault and silver again on the Parallel Bars.
Finally in the male events, James Hall picked up the silver medal in the all-round.
Onto the women, Georgia-Mae Fenton defended her Uneven Bars title, but missed a medal chance on the beam finishing fifth.
Alice Kinsella just missed out on a medal on the all-round final and beam placing fourth, but pulled it back on the Floor to claim the gold medal.
Odine Achampong got the silver medal for her Floor routine.
The next step for these gymnasts is the European Championships in two weeks and then the Olympics in Paris just two years away.
