Max and Reiss between them win 6 medals at the
2010
Max Whitlock and Reiss Beckford, represented Great Britain at the 29th Men's European Artistic Gymnastics Championships. In qualification for the all around Max finished 2nd and Reiss 3rd. Each country is only allowed two competitors to compete in the all around finals which meant Reiss was unable to compete as Sam Oldham also from Great Britain was in 1st position. Before any of the finals, Great Britain were competing for the team championships. Great Britain competed in subdivision 2 where they scored a total of 254.200 which was nearly ten whole marks above Germany who were sitting in 2nd position. Great Britain then had to sit and watch 3 more rotations to see if they had done enough to win gold. The final round saw Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Cyprus, but none of them could beat the the bar set by Team GB. Great Britain had won the gold with Switzerland finishing in 2nd 6 marks behind and France finished in 3rd.
The last part of the competition was the apparatus finals where Max had qualified for floor, pommel and rings and Reiss had qualified for Rings, P Bars and High bar. Max was crowned European Champion on both Pommel and Floor. Reiss also had a fantastic competition to win bronze on both High Bar and Rings.
A fantastic result for both Reiss and Max and for Great Britain.
