Gadirova scored a combined total of 14.000 for her routine in the women's floor final to top the podium and secure her third European floor title in a row.

She explained: "Even from being floor champion the first time was just amazing.

Alice Kinsella, who finished behind Gadirova in second place, was also surprised by her result.

She said: "I came into this final not really expecting much. I just wanted to go out there and enjoy it and get the experience.

It was a successful tournament for Great Britain who finished the Championships top of the table, with nine medals in total.
