Gravesend’s Georgia-Mae Fenton is celebrating after winning the first European individual medal of her career at the European Championships in Rimini.

Fenton, a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist, has enjoyed plenty of team success on the European and world stage, and was part of the squad who ended their campaign in Italy with silver. She has now added Euro bronze in the uneven bars to her list of honours.

Her medal follows team silver for Maidstone’s James Hall in the men’s event and was sealed in dramatic fashion, too, holding her nerve as the last competitor in the Final and scoring 13.900 behind home duo Alice D'Amato, who won gold, and Elisa Iorio.

“I feel so, so happy,” Fenton said. “To go through the routine, show some consistency and get a medal for myself, it feels very special.

“Going last up is always a bit nervy so I’m proud to have kept it together, I tried to stay calm, and I did that. To win my first major individual medal feels like a really big boost, I’m starting to really believe in myself and my gymnastics, which feels great.

“To be standing on the medal podium on my own when I’ve stood there so many times with the team felt pretty surreal - I’m very proud.”

Fenton was then part of the squad who closed the championships with team silver, scoring 162.162 points behind Italy and ahead of France.

She settled any nerves, opening the vault with 13.666 and contributed 13.766 on the uneven bars and 11.9 on the beam - despite an early fall.
