Scots men narrowly miss out on gymnastics medal
Scotland agonisingly missed out on a Commonwealth Games bronze medal in the artistic gymnastics men's team final, falling short of third-place Australia by 1.350 points.The Scots, inspired by 21-year-old Reuben Ward, threw everything they had at their final discipline of the six involved - the horizontal bar - but were left gutted in front of a raucous home crowd at The Arena in Glasgow."We didn't get on the podium but there was something truly special about that last rotation," a tearful Hamish Carter told BBC Scotland following his third - and potentially final - Games appearance."Whether it was a gold, fourth, or last, to share that with these guys was probably the highlight of my career, something that I'll likely never experience again."The standings were overshadowed by a sickening injury to England's Gabriel Langton in the final rotation, which delayed proceedings.Though the team event ended without a medal for Scotland, there were multiple qualifications for individual apparatus finals.Carter and Cameron Lynn qualified for the all-round individual final on Sunday, alongside Ward who also topped the qualifying standings for Monday's pommel horse showpiece - posting a sensational score of 14.550 and beating Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan from Northern Ireland.He also reached Tuesday's parallel bar final, while Lynn made the horizontal bar final on the same day.
