England continued their early spate of dominance in the artistic gymnastics at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham as Jake Jarman won the men's all-around title.
Fresh from helping his nation defend their gold medal in the team event, 20-year-old Jarman harnessed his youthful energy and immense skill to win the title with a total of 83.450.
Jarman fended off competition from compatriot James Hall, who pushed through the pain barrier of an ankle injury in the latter stages of the competition to win silver with 82.900.
During a floor routine packed with difficult elements, Jarman laid down an early marker with double-twisting and triple-twisting double back somersaults to score 14.000, just behind Canadian leader Felix Dolci (14.200).
Jarman lost a bit of form on the pommel horse but recovered with a stuck double-twisting double back dismount on the rings, and his vault would send shockwaves around the arena.
The youngster scored a massive 15.300 after nailing a Tsukahara with three and a half twists - taking the tiniest of steps on landing - and he followed it up with a clean parallel bars routine.
Jarman elected to perform a safe routine on his final piece of apparatus - the high bar - but with just a small hop on his full-twisting double straight, the 20-year-old did more than enough to finish atop the pile.
Meanwhile, Hall came into the 2022 Commonwealth Games after finishing as runner-up in the all-around competition on the Gold Coast four years ago, and the 26-year-old was visibly emotional after collecting the silver medal again.
Hall lodged an appeal over his rings difficulty value which was rejected by the authorities, and after a deep landing and step off the mat following his two-and-a-half twisting vault, the Englishman began limping.
Hall nevertheless went for broke in his high bar routine but was forced to take a couple of small steps on landing amid his sore ankle, and he limped off to rip-roaring cheers from the crowd.
The Pegasus gymnast's silver represented his fifth Commonwealth Games medal since 2018, and the bronze medal went to Marios Georgiou of Cyprus with 81.750.
Despite leading the way after the first rotation, Canada's Dolci ended up outside the medals in fourth place with a total of 81.550, as Scotland's Pavel Karnejenko - who led at the halfway point - finished fifth.
Crowd-pleaser Daniel Lee of Jersey finished in a respectable sixth place, and Frank Baines - who came out of retirement to compete in Birmingham - was seventh for Scotland. Wales duo Jacob Edwards and Josh Cook finished 10th and 12th respectively.
