Great Britain repeats as men's team champions at European Gymnastics Championships in Zagreb
The British men's squad clinched the team title at the European Gymnastics Championships in Zagreb, edging out the Russian WG2 side with a total of 246.728 points.
In Zagreb, the British men's gymnastics team reclaimed the European team title, posting 246.728 points to stay ahead of the Russian World Gymnastics Group 2. The five-man lineup—Courtney Tulloch, Joe Fraser, Harry Hepworth, Jonas Rushward and Sol Scott—recovered from a third-place qualifying round to dominate early apparatuses and maintain the advantage at the midway point. Errors on parallel bars and high bar narrowed the margin, but a strong floor routine by Hepworth sealed the win.
Fraser, who captured gold on high bar and bronze on parallel bars, emphasized the squad's perseverance and consistency. The triumph also secures Britain's entry to the World Championships in Rotterdam, the initial qualifying event for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Earlier in the week, the nation also defended its junior team title at the European level.
