Jarman, who was the final competitor in the final in Rotterdam, recorded a score of 14.600 to secure his fourth World Championships medal, having won vault gold in 2023 and team bronze in 2022. "I can't be annoyed although it's not the result I was aiming for," he said. "To know that I could do a bit better yet I've still walked away with a world silver gives me a lot of confidence, and there's room for improvement, so overall I'm really happy.

"We all really pushed each other and its good fun to be a part of and I'm excited for more battles in the future." Compatriot Courtney Tulloch, 31, was also the final competitor in the men's rings final, where a stumble on landing his dismount cost marks as he finished seventh with a score of 13.366.
