Wilson and Bevan with Gold and Bronze for British Juniors

Nile Wilson, Brinn Bevan: Gold and Bronze for the Brits

Britain’s Nile WILSON is the 2014 European junior all-around gymnastics champion with teammate Brinn BEVAN taking the bronze medal. Nile controlled the event in Sofia while Brinn tussled for the podium places with Russia’s Valentin STARIKOV going right to the final routine.
Nile scored 84.646 with Brinn scoring 82.932 and Starikov 83.540. Starikov's best result were the 14,733 on vault, the highest score at this apparatus, so he won the silvermedal in front of Bevan
Competing across all six men’s apparatus the all-around champion truly defines the most complete gymnast.

Nile WILSON was outstanding throughout, great difficulty levels and range of skills across all pieces with top scoring high bar, pommel and floor performances the standout routines as he follows his 2012 European all-around silver to become the champion. This was Nile's floor routine, honored with the highest score of 14,666 (5.5) at this apparatus in the final:

Nile said after: “It’s the best feeling in the world, coming in to this I had a lot of pressure which may be showed in the first few routines but I put my head together gritted my teeth and went for it. I was saying to myself have a big heart, focus and let’s nail these routines. It’s just brilliant I couldn’t be happier or more proud to stand with the gold medal and hear our national anthem.”

Brinn BEVAN was also exceptional, as he produced the top rings and second best high bar and pommel routines of the day.

The medals continue a fine week that has already seen the junior team crowned champions for the fourth successive championships with more medal opportunities in apparatus finals on Sunday.
Brinn said “I’m well happy, there were a few mistakes and I could have been better but I still have the bronze medal which is fantastic. I knew it would be a close call but didn’t feel any pressure. We did amazingly as a team on Wednesday and that was the main aim so today I could go out there and do it for myself.”

Sascha Coradi (SUI):
impressive increase to rank 4!

Thus almost resulted in the Swiss Sascha Coradi a medal chance (82.732) because he knew how to increase today as the only athlete from the top gymnasts and he placed himself behind the medal trio to an outstanding fourth place.
Must necessarily mention one 5th place of the Belgian Florian LANDYUT, the positively noticed in Dessau (friendly JECh test competion vs. host Germany) one week before: He jumped from number 22 to rank 5 (!!) and improved by 2.7 points because it's time (!) his floor exercise succeeded, and he was the best on vault and he also improved on parallel bars.

And that with Vigen KHACHATRYAN an Armenian with 81.664 points, the Frenchman Paul DEGOUY (81.574) displaced on the 7th place, that should also be mentioned!
