Unparalleled Fraser

Joe Fraser claimed Great Britain’s second gold medal at the World Gymnastics Championships in stuttgart with victory in the men’s parallel bars final. The 20-year-old from Birmingham nailed his routine to score 15.0 then watched as a series of rivals failed to live up to his total. Fraser’s success took Britain’s total medal tally at the Championships to four after pommel gold for Max Whitlock on saturday, as well as silver and bronze for sisters Becky and ellie Downie on bars and vault respectively. Fraser (below), who became Britain’s first major medallist in the discipline, said: ‘It is unbelievable to be world champion. I’ve worked really hard on the parallel bars and I had hoped for a medal, but gold is crazy.’ Meanwhile, two more gold medals for simone Biles made the american the most decorated athlete in world championships history. Biles took gold on both beam and floor to take her career total to 25 medals, surpassing the record of Vitaly scherbo.
