European Gymnastics: Jessica Gadirova, Amelie Morgan and Joe Fraser win medals for GB

British teenager Jessica Gadirova won her second medal in two days at the European Gymnastics Championship in Switzerland.

The 16-year-old added silver in the vault to the all-around bronze she won on Friday.

There were also bronzes for her team-mate Amelie Morgan on the uneven bars and Joe Fraser on the pommel horse.

"I'm just a newcomer and the gymnasts I'm against are legends. It's amazing to compete with them," said Gadirova.

"And even more amazing to stand next to them on the podium."

Morgan, who was fourth in the all-around, was the first gymnast in the bars final and had an anxious wait before her medal was secured.

But her total of 14.100 was enough, with gold going to Russia's Angelina Melnikova (14.500) and compatriot Vladislava Urozova (14.333) taking silver

Gadirova had topped the vault qualification standings but in the final the three-time European champion Giuila Steingruber of Switzerland increased her difficulty at the last minute to take the title yet again with a score of 14.824 with Gadirova on 14.466.

Fraser was the penultimate gymnast to compete in the pommel horse final and his score of 14.066 was enough for bronze, with Armenia's Artur Davtyan taking gold (14,266) and Nikita Nagornyy of Russia silver with the same score.

Fraser's GB team-mate and City of Birmingham club-mate Joshua Nathan finished seventh, while Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan finished in fifth.
