Great Britain's men record best-ever finish at World Artistic Championships

Great Britain's male gymnasts finish fourth in Nanning for their best-ever finish at the World Artistic Championships.

Great Britain's male gymnasts today achieved their best-ever finish at the World Artistic Championships in Nanning, China.

The sextet of Max Whitlock, Kristian Thomas, Dan Keatings, Dan Purvis, Nile Wilson and Courtney Tulloch finished fourth behind China, Japan and USA.

"We put in everything and just came up a little bit short of the medals today. It's disappointing but that just shows how high our aims are," PA quotes Thomas as saying.

"We know that this is just the first step though. We have an incredible team with a great mix of experience and the young guys who have been exceptional, and it is a great base to work from on our road to the Rio Olympics."

Team GB (269.170) finished just over a point behind USA (270.369) to agonisingly miss out on the podium.
