Britain’s Jake Jarman claimed his first Olympic medal with bronze on the floor at Bercy Arena.The 22-year-old went into the final with the highest score in qualifying and also topped the floor standings during the men’s all-around final.But his routine was not quite as clean as that of gold medallist Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines, who scored 15.001, while Israel’s Artem Dolgopyat took silver, with Jarman just behind on 14.933.That secured Britain’s first medal of the Games in artistic gymnastics, with Bryony Page having claimed gold in the same arena in trampolining on Friday.“I’m super proud,” said Jarman. “It’s definitely a massive achievement. Floor, although I post some crazy videos, historically I’ve not done well on floor in major championships.“I’ve only got a bronze medal at a European Championships so, to be walking away with an Olympic medal, I feel like I’ve skipped a step. It’s unbelievable.”Jarman’s team-mate Luke Whitehouse, European champion in the discipline, finished down in sixth with 14.466 despite a very impressive routine after being marked down for difficulty following a low landing.Jarman will have another chance of a medal when he goes in the final on vault on Sunday, where he is world champion.
