Fraser reaches the all-around podium

Britain’s Joe Fraser won men’s all-around bronze at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam.[1], [2]

He reached the podium after competing across six apparatus. Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto took his fourth consecutive world all-around title, while China’s Haonan Yang won silver. Britain’s other finalist, Jake Jarman, finished sixth.[1]

The 27-year-old became the third British man to win a world all-around medal. Dan Keatings won silver in 2009 and Max Whitlock followed with silver in 2014.[1]

Bronze follows fourth place in the team final

Fraser’s medal came a day after Britain finished fourth in the men’s team competition. The team missed a medal and did not secure a place at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics through that event. It will have another qualifying opportunity at next year’s world championships. Fraser described the emotional contrast between the team disappointment and his individual result.[1]

Jarman prepares for the floor final

Jarman is scheduled to contest Saturday’s floor final and said the British team had more to offer before Los Angeles. Fraser spoke about his pregnant partner watching from home, with the birth four weeks away, and celebrated with a thumb-sucking gesture. He said he was grateful to compete among the world’s best and had enjoyed the experience.[1]
