Abi Martin delivered a clutch performance to secure Commonwealth bronze for England in the women’s artistic gymnastics team final, edging Wales by less than a point in Glasgow.

How England Secured the Bronze Medal
England made a strong start on vault through Shantae-Eve Amankwaah, Ruby Stacey, Alia Leat, and Martin. However, the uneven bars proved costly—Stacey fell during her routine, and her score did not count, leaving England trailing Australia at the halfway stage. Heading into the final floor rotation, England trailed Canada by just 0.350 points for silver but also faced the threat of Wales, who had set an impressive total earlier.

Australia’s Dominant Gold Medal Run
Australia set the tone from the opening rotation, with Kate McDonald posting the highest uneven bars score of the day at 14.200. The silver medallists from Birmingham 2022 established an early lead they never relinquished, finishing five points clear of Wales’ earlier total to reclaim Commonwealth gold.
