The British Team took their home Grand Prix by storm with a magnificent six medals. Britain’s women took three medals, with Beth Tweddle taking two gold’s and Becky Downie producing a great routine to claim Bars silver.

Beth Tweddle had the difficult task of leading off the field in the finals of the Asymmetric Bars. She performed well, correcting the error from the day before when she fell and was more precise overall. Her score of 15.275 set a standard that could not be matched.

However, the crowd at the Kelvin Hall were delighted that her closest challenger was her compatriot Becky Downie, she secured the silver medal ahead of the Russian Ekaterina Kurbatova.

Becky Downie also put in a solid Beam performance, highlighted by an excellent double pike dismount, but with a missed leap series connection could only manage sixth place.

Beth Tweddle excelled in the floor routine and got a wonderful reception from the home crowd. Her routine featured marvellous tumbles and excellent leaps which resulted in another gold medal.
