GB gymnasts win gold in Glasgow


Tweddle bounced back on the floor

British gymnasts Beth Tweddle and Marissa King both claimed gold in the finals of their events at the Glasgow Grand Prix.


British champion Tweddle, 22, made up for an uncharacteristic error on the asymmetric bars by winning gold on the floor from Czech Nicole Pechancova.

King added the Grand Prix vault title to her British crown.

Meanwhile, Louis Smith took silver on the pommel horse and Kristian Thomas claimed bronze in the floor exercise.

Thomas, from the Earls Gymnastics Club, produced a clean performance that included a double Arabian.
