-

ELLIE DOWNIE sealed her fourth and final medal of the European Gymnastics Championsh­ips by claiming silver in the women’s floor apparatus final in Romania.

The 17-year-old from Nottingham was narrowly pipped to gold by Angelina Melnikova of Russia, with Eythora Thorsdotti­r of Holland taking bronze.

Downie was crowned all-around champion on Friday. She said: “I’ve always known I’m a good gymnast but I didn’t come here expecting to walk out with a gold, two silvers and a bronze. It blows my mind.”
