England gymnast Whitehouse earns third medal in Glasgow

England gymnast Luke Whitehouse earned his third medal of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with silver on the vault.

The 24-year-old had already picked up a gold on floor and silver in the team event.

He performed two clean, well-controlled vaults to earn his place on the podium with a score of 13.749, but was pipped to gold by Canada's Felix Dolci who later also won the horizontal bar title for his fourth gold of the Games.

"I did think I'd just got it [the gold medal] but another silver to add to my collection, over the moon," Whitehouse told BBC Sport.

There were also medals for England in the women's floor event as Abi Martin and Shantae-Eve Amankwaah won silver and bronze respectively behind Wales' Ruby Evans.

"It's amazing for British gymnastics that we had three of us on the podium – we put so much effort into our landings together and everything in general, so for it to be an all home nations podium shows just how hard we do work and how much we all put in," Martin said.

"It's a big thing for British gymnastics."
