Jarman claims historic second silver at Worlds
Jake Jarman becomes the first British male gymnast to win two individual medals at the same World Gymnastics Championships as he claims silver in the vault final.
British gymnast Jake Jarman achieved a historic second silver medal at the World Gymnastics Championships, winning the vault final in Rotterdam. Jarman became the first British male gymnast to win two individual medals in the same World Championships, following his silver in the men's floor exercise. He scored 14.650 in the vault final, narrowly behind Armenia's Artur Davtyan, who took gold with a score of 14.850.
Jarman, 24, expressed his happiness and acknowledged the challenges of competing in various events alongside team goals. He noted that today's score, while not his personal best, felt like a well-managed performance overall. British teenager Abigail Martin secured fourth place in the women's floor final, mirroring the bronze medallist's score but losing to Maiana Prat of France in the tie-break. Gold was claimed by 17-year-old American Claire Pease.
