It's the second medal for the 23-year-old athlete from Hemel Hempstead, who - as 2015 world pommel horse champion - was expected to shine at the pommel horse event, which has yet to begin.

Earlier this week, he became Team GB's first all-round men's gymnastics medallist in 108 years, taking a bronze medal on the individual all-around.

Brazil's Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano came in second and third places in the floor exercise respectively.

Team captain Kristian Thomas came in seventh.
