GB's Bryony Page crowned European trampoline champion

Great Britain's Bryony Page wins European trampoline gold on the final day of the continental championships in Rimini, as Kirsty Way finishes first in double mini.

Great Britain's Bryony Page was crowned European trampoline champion on the final day of the Championships in Rimini on Sunday.

The reigning world champion starred with a total of 55.410 to take the title, over one whole mark clear of silver medallist Luba Golovina of Georgia.

Speaking to British Gymnastics after finishing atop the podium, Tokyo bronze medallist Page said: "It feels amazing. I've dreamt about this for a while and have been looking forward to the competition.

"I had a bit of a blip on day two of training, so to get back up there, compete in the prelims, to win the synchro title yesterday and then this today. This was the last day of competition and it was a little bit tiring but I tried to find some strength. It's just really exciting."

🔟 medals for GBR to conclude remarkable 2022 Trampoline, Tumbling & DMT European Championships.

Page was not the only British athlete to win an individual gold medal on Sunday, as Kirsty Way once again won the European title in the women's double mini competition after triumphing in the same competition in 2018.

The 23-year-old edged out Lina Sjoeberg of Sweden by 0.200 to scoop the gold medal and was in disbelief after the event, adding: "I can't believe it. I've been European champion before, but I wasn't coming into this competition expecting to do it again. I had no expectations. I wanted to come here and have fun and I've come away with a gold medal and I don't believe it!"

Elsewhere, reigning tumbling world champion Megan Kealy took the silver medal in her competition, with compatriot Megan Surman in third place. The men's tumbling saw Jaydon Paddock finish fourth as 2013 world champion Kristof Willerton failed to advance to the second final, placing fifth.

Finally, Lewis Gosling took home the silver medal in the men's double mini competition, adding to the four team medals that GB scooped at senior level on Friday.
