Harry Hepworth became the first British man to win an Olympic vault medal with bronze in a high-quality final in Paris.

Hepworth’s score of 14.949 bettered that of compatriot and reigning world and European vault champion Jake Jarman (14.933), who finished fourth.

The Philippines’ Carlos Edriel Yulo secured his second gold of the Games (15.116) having topped the podium in the floor event on Saturday, while silver went to Armenia’s Artur Davtyan (14.966).

Hepworth, 20, was second to compete and was left with an agonising wait to find out if those following would jump above him on the scoreboard.

Jarman went third and clung on to the bronze-medal position until Davtyan, who vaulted last, finally pushed him off the podium.

The British pair had already made history by becoming the first GB men to qualify for an Olympic vault final, after Hepworth also became the first Briton to reach the rings final, where he finished seventh (14.800).
