22/3/13: 2012 European all-around silver medallist, City of Leeds’ Nile Wilson was crowned the 2013 under 18 British Champion after some incredible performances across all six pieces of apparatus. In the under 16 category, South Essex’s Brinn Bevan stole the show, comfortably walking away with the title.

All-around

Under 18 (Junior)
Although eventually taking the title, Nile Wilson unfortunately had to count a fall on his first piece of apparatus – the p bars. He moved on confidently however with an outstanding high bar routine ending in a double twisting double straight and continued to excel, particularly on the floor where he posted a 14.800 to put himself in good stead for making the masters final on Sunday. His incredible depth of talent helped him take the title with a total score of 84.650.

2013 Australian Youth Olympic all-around silver medallist, Dominick Cunningham, started off strongly on the floor and showed great composure throughout the competition. Dom was consistent across all six apparatus and stayed inside the top group of gymnasts after each rotation as the competition progressed. He took the silver medal with a score of 83.150.

Exeter’s Jay Thompson carried a few errors but produced a confident overall performance to complete the podium. Jay was part of the 2012 gold medal winning Junior European team and this experience was evident as he fought through to score 80.900 and take the bronze medal.

Under 16 (Youth)
Brinn Bevan from South Essex was clean but slightly shaky throughout his p bars routine showing a few early nerves but he soon changed this into some incredible work. Brinn particularly excelled on rings where he outscored all of his competitors by a mark and a half to score a strong 14.450. He comfortably took the title with 83.650.

Europa’s Giarnni Regini-Moran showed some hugely difficult skills throughout the competition. His double twisting double back somersault on floor was a particular highlight. The 2013 English Champion took the silver with a score of 81.950.

Hamish Carter from the City of Birmingham completed the top three. He produced some extremely mature performances for such a young gymnast and took bronze with a total score of 78.800.

Quotes

Nile Wilson “It’s going really well for me at the moment, I made a few mistakes today but also had some outstanding routines that made up for it. I had great support from my friends and family in the arena, everyone shouting for me which really makes a difference.”

Brinn Bevan “I started up on vault really well but then had a disaster on p.bars. I’m really proud of how I came back from that and came out winning. To see that my score would have placed me second in the under-18 shows that I’m performing at a good level so im really happy.”
