Team GB win silver and bronze in pommel horse

Great Britain have claimed silver and bronze in the men's pommel horse but were agonisingly close to a gold medal.

Louis Smith tied with winner Krisztian Berki's score of 16.066 with the last routine of the competition, but was forced to settle for second place due to the Hungarian's superior execution mark.

Max Whitlock produced a superb performance to claim a surprise bronze, scoring 15.600 with a great showing.

The double-medal winning event rounds off a superb Olympics for Team GB in the gymnastics arena, with a bronze medal in the men's team event.
