Great Britain won their first-ever senior gold medal at the European TeamGym Championships as the mixed team took the continental title in Luxembourg.

Despite the return of perennial podium finishers Denmark and Norway - back in competition after missing the COVID-disrupted 2021 edition - GB's senior mixed team posted a total score of 56.350 after their floor, tumble and trampette routines.

GB's floor score of 18.000 was only good enough for third in that category, but the team topped the rankings in tumble and trampette to win the nation's first-ever senior gold medal at the Championships.

Denmark settled for second with a total score of 55.400, while Sweden - who were gunning for a fourth-straight senior mixed title - scooped the bronze medal with 52.750.

Prior to Saturday's senior finals, GB's junior mixed team followed up their European title last year with a bronze medal in the category this time around, scoring 52.600. Sweden were only 0.500 marks ahead of the Brits in second place, while the returning Denmark scored 53.875 to take the gold medal.

The Danes completed a perfect hat-trick of junior TeamGym European titles on Friday, with the women's and men's teams also finishing atop the podium, as GB finished fourth in both sections.

Following the senior mixed team's gold medal on Saturday, GB's senior women finished sixth in their competition with a total of 48.550, as the Nordic nations outgunned them on difficulty.

After ceding their European title to Iceland last year, Sweden's senior women (55.100) returned to the summit, with Iceland (53.950) in second and Denmark (52.550) taking home the bronze.

The 14th European TeamGym Championships ended with an action-packed senior men's competition, during which Denmark sought to regain their crown after their streak of 11 consecutive titles was ended by Sweden last year.

Posting the highest scores of the competition on floor and tumble, Denmark stormed to the gold with 60.400, and Norway (58.800) won their first-ever silver medal in the senior men's competition following a string of third-placed finishes.

A spate of falls from Sweden on trampette cost them their chances of a second consecutive senior men's crown, and they were forced to settle for bronze with 58.200 on the board. GB, meanwhile, scored 54.975 to finish fifth, placing above Italy but below Iceland.
