Joe Fraser and Ondine Achampong have been crowned the senior all-around champions at the British Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Liverpool.

Saturday's finals saw Fraser become the men's title holder for the third time, scoring 84.900 after six pieces of apparatus to add to his triumphs from the 2017 and 2022 Championships.

The 25-year-old - a former world champion on the parallel bars - was not involved in the 2023 competition due to a shoulder injury, but he now feels back to his best on the competition floor.

"It definitely feels like I'm back. The past two years (with injuries) has been a massive battle, people don't always see how tough it can be but I knew one day I'd be back," Fraser told the British Gymnastics website. "There were definitely nerves today and it wasn't perfect but to be lifting this trophy again feels very special."

Jake Jarman took home the silver medal in the men's all-around competition with a total score of 84.350, while rings specialist Courtney Tulloch nabbed the final spot on the podium with 80.150 - last year's champion Adam Tobin (78.150) placed fifth.

Three-time Olympic champion Max Whitlock only competed in the pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar events and qualified for Sunday's apparatus finals in all of them, hitting 15.500 on the pommel horse for the highest score of the day.

Meanwhile, Achampong blew the competition out of the water to become all-around women's champion for the second time, having taken her inaugural British title in the 2021 tournament.

The 20-year-old was forced to settle for silver behind Jessica Gadirova and Alice Kinsella in the past two years, but a total of 55.950 saw her comfortably regain her national crown.

"I'm so proud. I feel like I've massively gained in confidence this Olympic cycle and feel like a different gymnast both in the way I train and the way I compete. To win the British title is a massive achievement and to do it in Olympic year feels especially good," Achampong said.

Neither Jessica Gadirova nor her twin sister Jennifer Gadirova competed in this year's Championships due to injury, with the former suffering a torn ACL at last year's World Championships, while the latter is on the way back from ankle surgery.

Wales' Ruby Evans took the silver medal, finishing almost three marks worse off than Achampong with 53.200, while Abigail Martin's total of 52.450 was good enough for third place.

Rebecca Downie also qualified for the uneven bars final with a competition-high 14.350, but 2023 all-around winner Kinsella pulled out with an injury on the day. body check tags ::
