Georgina Hockenhull slip proves costly in women's beam final

British gymnast Georgina Hockenhull manages to recover after an early slip in the women's beam final, but it is not enough to earn her a European Games medal.

Team GB's Georgina Hockenhull has finished sixth in the women's beam final at the first ever European Games.

Fresh on the back of Brinn Bevan's bronze-medal joy in the men's pommel horse event, the 18-year-old could only score 11.833 to miss out on a podium place.

Hockenhull fell after her combination early on, but managed to complete a solid routine to somewhat recover at the National Gymnastics Arena.

It was not enough, however, with Lieke Wevers of the Netherlands going on to take gold for her third medal of Baku 2015 and Romania's Andreea Iridon claiming silver.

Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber narrowly scraped bronze, meanwhile, to add to the gold medal she won in the women's vault this afternoon.

Hockenhull's Great Britain teammate Kelly Simm also finished bottom in that earlier women's vault event.
