Britain’s best crowned in apparatus and masters finals

Gabby Jupp (GBR)

* British Gymnastics --: The final day of the 2013 Men’s and Women’s British Championships saw the women battle it out in their respective age groups to be crowned individual apparatus champions, and the men battle to be event Masters.
Men's all-around winner was Max Whitlock. In the Senior women’s competition, 2013 all-around champion, Gabby Jupp continued to shine taking two more gold medals on both the floor and beam. She also took silver on the bars behind established gymnast, 2008 Olympian Becky Downie from Notts. Niamh Rippin also from Notts took the final title on the vault for the second year in a row.
The men’s Masters finals took place alongside the women’s apparatus finals. The men use their results from the all-around to crown apparatus champions within the age groups but the masters are where any of the gymnasts who competed in the Under 16, Under 18 or Senior categories are ranked together to find the top 8 gymnasts from across the board.
The final eight for each piece then battle it out to be crowned the master of that apparatus.

Dan Keatings stole the show taking two gold medals on both the P bars and Pommel horse, edging out Olympic bronze medallist on this piece of apparatus, Max Whitlock. This didn’t make it a bad day for Max though as he won the High Bar title. Bury’s Theo Seager also stood out winning both the Rings and Vault Masters with Huntingdon’s Sam Oldham victorious on the Floor.
