    'All our thoughts go to Gabriel and the England team'published at 22:35 BST 24 July

    Men's team final

    Canada's Felix Dolci praised the way the England team "stayed in the zone" after Gabriel Langton's awful fall.

    "It's terrible but it goes to show that gymnastics is a very very difficult and complicated sport," said Dolci after helping Canada clinch gold.

    "All our thoughts go to Gabriel and the England team. Pushing through this is definitely not easy, they stayed focussed, they stayed in the zone, a huge shout out to them because that's not an easy one.

    "For any gymnast that was on the field of play, seeing this not only is difficult, but something you never want to see."

    Men's 100m breaststroke semi-finals

    Adam Ramsay-Peaty speaking to BBC Sport after winning his 100m breaststroke semi-final: "I expected it to be a little quicker to be honest but semi-finals, you never know which way it is going to go. I hope tomorrow we can add a few more layers - that is what this whole meet is for us, adding layers each round knowing have euros (European Championship) after as well. It is going to be a good scrap tomorrow, especially down that last 25, and I do love a good scrap.

    "I am always confident. I can only do what I can do. I am not in control of what anyone else can do. If I can look after that over the next 24 hours we will see what I can get."

    Men's team final

    Gymnast Luke Whitehouse has been talking about how the England team coped after team-mate Gabriel Langton's alarming fall in the horizontal bar.

    "When something like that happens, you've just got to forget about it and reset," he said after helping England win silver.

    "For me, I just had to focus on my routine one skill at a time.

    "Gymnastics is such a dangerous sport and things like this remind us of that. It's one of those things you have to put out of your mind.

    "From what we've heard he's [Langton] doing Ok."

    Faye Rogers won Scotland's first ever Para-swimming gold medal with a swim three seconds faster than her closest competitor.

    After being told in 2021 that she would never swim again after severing the ulner nerve in his right arm, that was some way to back up the gold she won at the 2024 Paralympics.

    Next week she will become the only Para-athlete at these games to compete in a non-para even when she competes in the 200m butterfly heats.

    England's Gabriel Langton needed lengthy treatment on the mat after a sickening fall in the final rotation of the evening.

    He fell head first after missing the horizontal bar, three metres in the air, leading to a lengthy delay to the action as he was tended to by medical staff and eventually led away on a stretcher.

    The 19-year-old - who was a late call-up in the place of the injured Max Whitlock - was unable to join his teammates on the podium as they collected their silver medals.

    We'll bring you an update on Langton's condition as soon as we can.

    After having to settle for silver at the past two games, Canada came good to win their 59th gymnastics gold, now eight more than any other nation.

    They did it off the back of a real team showing, Felix Dolci leading the way with two high scores on the vault and high bars, but Rene Cournover, Jordan Carroll and William Emard also contributed huge points on the floor, pommel and rings respectively.

    England were made to pay for a poor showing on the pommel, eventually finishing 3.150 points back in silver medal position while Scotland's quest for a bronze medal was derailed by a below par showing on the rings as they finished 1.450 points behind Australia.

    Matthew Harding, a former Paralympic swimmer, has secured a silver powerlifting medal for England in the heavyweight category.

    The 27-year-old from the Wirral couldn't complete his final 202kg lift but his previous attempt at 199kg was enough to put him on the podium.

    The medal ceremony was incredibly emotional, as Harding cried as he clutched a photo of his late father.

    Harding's silver rounded out a trio of medal from England's para-powerlifters - gold from Mark Swan, bronze for Olivia Broome and now Harding's silver to collect the set.
