The British championships concluded on Sunday with the event finals.
Ellie Downie won the vault title with two superbly performed vaults scoring 14.787, placing ahead of Claudia Fragaoane (13.787) and Abigail Solari (13.512).
The bars final showed off British potential on the event but unfortunately there were a lot of falls in this final, leaving the door open for Gabby Jupp from Sapphire, who was only competing on the bars this weekend after coming back from injury, performed an outstandingly clean routine to take the title with 14.750. Becky Downie tried to up her difficulty for the final but fell on her Hindorff right before the end of her routine, she scored a 14.425 and Ruby Harrold soldiered on to win bronze with a 14.175.
On the beam, Becky Downie confidently the title with scoring a 14.750, Claudia Fragaapne won the silver with a routine that only looks set to get better scoring 14.075 and Ruby Harrold took the bronze with 12.600 counting a fall.
Finally on floor, Amy Tinkler redeemed her self after finishing fourth in the all- around on Saturday to take the title on floor with a 14.350 ahead of Claudia Fragapane who took silver with a 14.275 and Pheobe Turner performed a superb routine to clinch bronze with a score of 13.400.
All in all, the British women have shown themselves to be strong contenders for the team title at the up and coming European championships, as well as team medalists at the Rio Olympics.
