Team GB's youngest athlete Amy Tinkler has won bronze in the women's gymnastics floor exercise final.

Tinkler, 16, broke down in tears after securing third place with a score of 14.933.

Crowds clapped along to the upbeat music accompanying Tinkler's performance, which began with a clean start and continued with an elegant and sleek routine.

Commentators described her as a "very powerful" and "expressive" gymnast who "wowed the crowd more than anyone else".

Tinkler won gold in the 2015 British Championships - a feat she repeated in 2016.
