Jessica Gadirova was in dreamland as she took vault silver on a brilliant day for Britain at the European Artistics Gymnastics Championships.
The 16-year-old from Aylesbury backed up all-around bronze with a second medal in as many days as a breakout senior debut continued in Basel, Switzerland.
Gadirova’s ability to generate height and maintain technique on the vault was rewarded with an average of 14.466 that propelled her onto the podium and past all-comers but Swiss Giulia Steingruber.
“To have the opportunity to compete in another final and then to win another medal, it feels amazing,” said Gadirova.
“I know from my training I could do the two vaults, so it was a matter of staying calm and doing what I usually do.
