Joe Fraser leads GB gymnastics team to dominant European gold

theguardian.com

Fate has maliciously lobbed one obstacle after another into the path of Joe Fraser this summer. A ruptured appendix. A broken right foot.

Excruciating pain the accompaniment to both. It is just as well the leader of the British gymnastics pack has an abundant ability to pivot and twist before landing safely, separating himself from the debris scattered behind.

The 23-year-old from Birmingham leapt magnificently on Saturday in Munich. His colleagues followed his lead. The British quintet of Jake Jarman, James Hall, Giarnni Regini-Moran, Courtney Tulloch and Fraser flew towards men’s team gold with the greatest of ease.

This title has come the UK’s way once, a few weeks before the London 2012 Olympics. Pressing repeat bodes well for Paris 2024.
