Jake Jarman made history at the World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam, becoming the first British male gymnast to win two individual medals at a single event. He claimed silver in the vault final with a score of 14.650, finishing behind Armenia's Artur Davtyan. This achievement adds to his silver in the men's floor exercise earlier in the competition, making him Britain's most decorated athlete in the event's history with five World Championship medals overall.
At just 24 years old, Jarman reflected on adapting his routine across different apparatus while maintaining consistency. He stated he had peaked at the right time and set personal bests throughout the championships. Meanwhile, British teenager Abigail Martin finished fourth in the women's floor final.
Despite tying the bronze medallist's score of 13.466, Martin missed the tie-break due to a lower execution score. Gold in that final went to 17-year-old American Claire Pease.
