GB’s Jarman & Evans win silver in mixed team event

At the first European Gymnastics Championships in Leipzig, Jake Jarman and Ruby Evans of Great Britain took silver in the combined team event.

The 23-year-old Jarman, who participated in the men’s team’s gold on Tuesday night, delivered on the high bar, while the 18-year-old Evans shone on the beam.

That was fantastic, Jarman said. We had a good chance of winning a medal if we went with our strongest apparatus, and tactfully, it turned out just fine.

We made the right decision because the silver medal was the ideal situation this time round, and we’re both thrilled to have won.

Timo Eder and Karina Schoenmaier of Germany won the title on home soil, while Italy’s Lorenzo Casali and Manila Esposito took bronze.

Less than tenth of a point separated the top two teams, with Germany defeating them in the head-to-head final with a score of 25. 466.

Evans, 18, continued, “We both really enjoyed it, and Jake helped calm me.” We both deserve this medal, and I’m very proud of both of us.
