Ruby Harrold believes the team will be top shape when Rio rolls around

After the women's team claimed bronze on Tuesday and the men followed with a stunning silver on Wednesday, Harrold and Amy Tinkler took to the arena in Glasgow looking for individual honours.

It was a testing night for the pair with Tinkler falling early on the uneven bars and beam and neither able to trouble to the top of the leaderboard.

In the end Harrold scored 54.699 for 22nd with Tinkler once place behind after racking up 54.098 – gold and silver going to American duo Simone Biles and Gabrielle Douglas respectively and bronze to Romania's Larisa Iordache.

However Harrold – who was a reserve for London 2012 – insists the experiences in Glasgow will be invaluable for the country's hopes in Brazil next summer.

“To be honest I’m quite disappointed with my performance after being on such a high for the last few days,” said the 19-year-old.

“The main aim for this competition was to qualify for the Olympics and we did that on the first day, then to walk away with a bronze medal on team final was completely unexpected."

“Coming into today was always going to be a big challenge for me to get focused and get my head down to concentrate."

“This is all money in the bank for the Olympics next year, I’m sure the experience will count for a lot then."

“Having the bronze is such a big confidence builder, but hopefully despite the high from this the girls will get their heads down once again to get ready for Rio.”

For Tinkler the damage was done early with the falls on bars and beam, but she did manage to find some rhythm with solid work on the floor and vault.

And she says to compete in an individual final at a World Championships is something that can only help her fledgling career.

“But it's my first championships where I have had to do three days of competition so it is just about getting experience for the future,” said Tinkler – who turned 16 on Tuesday.

“It is definitely about experience, that's my first all-around final in any championships so to come out there and give it everything gives me so much valuable experience."

“It was a bit difficult to refocus after the bronze because it was such a high but I guess that's something we will have to learn to do for the next championships."

“It's boosted all of our confidences getting that bronze medal because we know we can do that now and I think we will go back and work hard to get those upgrades in and get our routines tighter for the future.”
