Harry Hepworth made history with Team GB's first ever Olympic medallist on the vault apparatus with bronze at Paris 2024.
The 20-year-old from Leeds stormed to a combined score of 14.949 across his two vaults to hold onto a medal after an agonising wait for the rest of the competition to perform.
Hepworth delivered two controlled vaults with difficulty scores of 5.600 to lay down an early marker.
His first front handspring double somersault with half a twist earned a score of 14.833, before his handspring two and a half twist shot to 15.066 to put him into the early lead.
One of the first up to vault, Hepworth was forced to wait with baited breath to see if he would take home an Olympic medal on debut, and bronze it was.
HISTORY MADE! 🇬🇧

"I can't even put it into words I'm just so thankful to everyone who has put all the support into me," he said.
"I wouldn't be here without my family and my grandma and my friends.
"I was just going in there to enjoy it and that took the pressure side away but as I presented for each routine I felt the pressure there for sure."
The Philippines Carlos Yulo won his second gold of the Games with a score of 15.116, whilst Armenia's Artur Davtyan took silver.
Team GB's Jake Jarman, who is the reigning vault world champion, finished just off the podium in fourth with a score of 14.933.
Just hours earlier, Hepworth had made history as the first-ever Briton to make a rings Olympic final, finishing seventh.
