Nineteen-year-old Gabriel Langton, a late call-up for the Games, needed lengthy treatment after falling head first from the horizontal bar. His team-mates went on to win silver in the artistic gymnastics men's team final at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Other gymnasts said the incident showed how dangerous the sport can be, but Langton is reportedly doing okay.
