Great Britain seal record eight medals at European Gymnastics Championships

GB win record eight European medals

Great Britain grabbed a record eight medals at the European Championships in Montpellier last week.

On the final day of the competition, Sam Oldham, Claudia Fragapane and Becky Downie earned silver medals on the high bar, floor and beam respectively.

Seventeen-year-old Fragapane, who won four golds at last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, came close to winning the floor event, but was pipped by Russia's Ksenia Afanasyeva in the final performance.

Prior to last weekend's success, Great Britain's previous best medal total was in 2010 when the team reached the podium seven times.
