Luke Whitehouse wins third straight European title
Great Britain’s Luke Whitehouse won floor gold for the third-straight year at the European Gymnastics Championships, Leipzig.
The 22-year-old scored 14.500 to finish ahead of teammate Harry Hepworth, who claimed his first individual European medal with a score of 14.366.
Italy’s Lorenzo Casali finished third.
“It is unbelievable,” Whitehouse told BBC Sport. “I am lost for words. I knew it was possible, but to come out and do it, I couldn’t be prouder.”
It is Whitehouse and Hepworth’s second medal of the competition after winning team gold on Monday.
Hepworth, 21, will compete again in the rings final later on Friday and the vault final on Saturday.
He took up gymnastics at age four. He joined an after-school gymnastics club at Salterhebble Junior and Infants School in Halifax, England.
