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. The defending champions finished with 154.300 points, just enough to overtake Wales, while Australia dominated to win gold ahead of Canada.
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.
