World Artistic Gymnastics Championships: Jake Jarman and Luke Whitehouse claim GB one-two in floor final

Jake Jarman won gold at the the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships as Great Britain claimed a one-two finish in the men’s floor final.

Jarman, who took the bronze medal in the event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, finished top with a score of 14.866 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

His compatriot Luke Whitehouse followed closely behind to come second with 14.666 to secure his first medal at a World Championships, having won the past three European titles on floor.

Olympic champion Carlos Yulo of the Philippines rounded off the podium, taking bronze with 14.533.

The previous world floor champion, Israel’s Artem Dolgopyat, could not compete following Indonesia’s decision to not grant visas to the Israel team because of the country’s military offensive in Gaza.

European Gymnastics Championships: GB’s Whitehouse retains floor title for third successive year

Great Britain’s Luke Whitehouse won floor gold for the third-straight year at the European Gymnastics Championships, Leipzig.

The 22-year-old scored 14.500 to finish ahead of teammate Harry Hepworth, who claimed his first individual European medal with a score of 14.366.

Italy’s Lorenzo Casali finished third.

“It is unbelievable,” Whitehouse told BBC Sport. “I am lost for words. I knew it was possible, but to come out and do it, I couldn’t be prouder.”

It is Whitehouse and Hepworth’s second medal of the competition after winning team gold on Monday.

Hepworth, 21, will compete again in the rings final later on Friday and the vault final on Saturday.
