Sports Mole chats to Team GB pair Hannah Baughn and Ryan Bartlett after their bronze-medal success in the acrobatic gymnastics at the European Games.

Hannah Baughn and Ryan Bartlett became Team GB's first European Games gymnastics medallists on Friday when they claimed bronze in the acrobatic mixed pair all-around final.

The duo secured a podium finish in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku as Russia and Belgium took gold and silver respectively.

Baughn and Bartlett have the chance to bring home more medals on Sunday when they take part in the balance and dynamic finals.

Sports Mole caught up with the pair soon after their historic all-around triumph to get their reaction.

Starting with you Hannah, how are you feeling right now?

Baughn: "Oh, I'm feeling great! I love this medal! I can't wait to hang it up."

Were you expecting to finish on the podium when you made your way to the arena this morning?

Baughn: "We knew that we could do it, we just had to get out there on the floor, make sure we went clean and do our moves just like our coaches taught us. We're really happy."

You were made to wait quite a while before you did your routine. Did that affect you mentally?

Baughn: "It is quite nerve-wracking because you've got everyone wanting you to do so well and obviously we want to do so well. There's a lot of stuff that goes through your head - the routine, the moves - but as soon as you step onto the floor it feels normal."

Ryan, what does this medal mean to you?

Bartlett: "Yeah, it feels really good. It's kind of sinking in now that we've got one. It feels really heavy around my neck. We can definitely feel that we've got it!"

Were you expecting this type of success in the competition when you woke up this morning?

Bartlett: "[Winning] always goes through my head, but whatever happens on the day can happen."

Baughn: "Yeah, you don't really want to think too much about it in case it doesn't happen."

Bartlett: "When we were sitting there waiting for the last couple of routines I was starting to feel a bit sick, but we're happy now."

You've got the balance and dynamic finals coming up this weekend. What are you going to do in terms of preparation?

Bartlett: "We'll just carry on doing what we normally do, but we'll start to feel a bit more confident about ourselves now we've got this medal, getting our names out there and doing what we do."
