Rhys McClenaghan has become the first Irish gymnast to win a medal at the European Championships.
McClenaghan scooped the gold for his pommel horse routine over the weekend.
The 19 year old from Newtonards had already landed himself in the history books by securing a place in the final, something that has never been achieved by any other Irish gymnast before.
