A horror fall from England gymnast Gabriel Langton overshadows his team's silver medal in the team event on the opening night of action at Glasgow 2026.

Gabriel Langton contested the floor, rings and parallel bars before falling on the horizontal bar in the final rotation A sickening injury to England's Gabriel Langton overshadowed his team's silver medal in the men's team gymnastics final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The 19-year-old, from the City of Birmingham Gymnastics Club, needed lengthy treatment on the mat after a horrible fall in the final rotation of the evening at The Arena. Langton fell head first to the floor after missing his catch on the horizontal metal bar, three metres in the air, leading to a lengthy delay to the action as he was tended to by up to a dozen medical staff. He was eventually led away on a trolley after being moved on to a stretcher with his head and neck braced and left to huge applause from the packed crowd who had spent much of the previous 10 minutes in hushed silence. Langton was seen to be conscious and moving his legs and arms before leaving the arena floor, while team officials later said he was moving and speaking to doctors. In a statement, Team England said: "We are grateful to the medical teams who responded immediately to provide assistance. "He has been taken to hospital and we will share more information when it is available."
