Daniel Keatings on being crowned European Pommel horse Champion: “I feel awesome! I qualified in second place, just behind Louis. Louis made an unfortunate error, which opened the gap for me. Yesterday I fell off the pommel in team final so I tried to redeem myself today, come in and do the best pommel routine I could do, and I did it!”

On the success of the GB team “you cant sum it up in words, both seniors and juniors, we’ve broken records in the GB squad and its just awesome!”
