There’s a real buzz here at Arena Birmingham with the success of the English and of course Australia’s Georgia Godwin today.

Godwin has a chance to add a third gold to her collection over the next two hours with the uneven bars final, alongside teammate Kate McDonald.

She’ll be back here again tomorrow on the balance beam.

Less than 24 hours after breaking through for all-around gold, Godwin triumphed over Canada’s Laurie Denommee for the vault gold on tiebreak rules, as she had the highest-scoring individual vault.

Scotland’s Shannon Archer was third on 13.083, claiming her country’s first ever Games women’s artistic gymnastics medal.

Australia’s Emily Whitehead finished in eighth position on 11.899.

Earlier, Aussie teenager Jesse Moore was left to rue a fall late in his pommel horse routine that all but cost him a medal.

He battled through a shoulder injury but was unable to complete his dismount and scored 13.366, finishing fifth. Without the fall, he likely would have claimed silver.
