Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan finished sixth in the men's pommel horse final at the Commonwealth Games, scoring 13.000. His routine "didn't go to plan," marking his first missed medal at the Games after previous golds and silvers.

McClenaghan, who qualified third, experienced a significant drop in his difficulty and execution scores. He nearly fell from the apparatus, citing a missed first skill that disrupted his performance. Canada's Jordan Carroll won gold with 15.00, followed by Scotland's Reuben Ward with silver (14.966) and Cameron Lynn with bronze (13.833).

This result ends McClenaghan's streak of five major championship wins. Despite the disappointment, he remains focused on future competitions, including the European and World Championships, with the ultimate goal of defending his Olympic title in Los Angeles in 2024.
