As far as local interest is concerned, yesterday belonged to Jersey gymnast Dan Lee.
He finished sixth in the men’s all-around event.
He got off to a positive start on the pommel horse with 12.45, gaining around half a mark on his qualification score (11.9) from the opening day. Next the 23-year-old took to the rings, where he registered 12.9.
What a performance!

On the following rotation Dan moved to the vault, and an impressive 14.15 saw him rise to sit in 6th place at the midway point, a position he would not relinquish.

His routine earnt him a 12.7 and a combined score of 79.45, well up on his qualification total.
