Nathan Bailey secured Great Britain's first men's trampoline place at the Olympics since Athens 2004

Nathan Bailey produced a fine performance at the Rio test event to secure Great Britain a male trampoline place at the 2016 Olympics.

Bailey, from Bournemouth, scored 104.695 points for his two routines.

The 22-year-old said: "It's been my aim for the last four years and qualifying the spot for Team GB just means the world to me. Hopefully I can secure the spot in my name [at the GB trials]."

Britain already has two female trampoline places at Rio.

It will be the first time Great Britain is represented by a male trampolinist at the Olympics since Gary Smith competed at the 2004 Games in Athens.
