European Gymnastics Championships: GB’s Jake Jarman and Ruby Evans win silver in first mixed team final

Great Britain’s Jake Jarman and Ruby Evans combined to win silver in the first mixed team event at the European Gymnastics Championships in Leipzig.

The 23-year-old Jarman, who won gold on Tuesday night as part of the men’s team, delivered on the high bar, while teenager Evans shone on the beam.

Jarman said: “That was great. Tactically we knew going with our strongest apparatus second gave us a good chance for a medal and the plan worked out perfectly.

“It was the perfect scenario this time round so we made the right choice and we’re both super happy to have won the silver medal.

“It was great to have men’s and women gymnastics combine. I think the competition worked really well and it’s exciting for the future.”
