The face of British gymnastics has been changed forever according to Nile Wilson, after an historic week in Glasgow that saw the country claim five medals.

Wilson, Ellie Downie and Claudia Fragapane brought the curtain down on an incredible ten days in which Max Whitlock was crowned pommel world champion while both the men's and women's teams won medals for the first time.

There was no more silverware to add to the impressive haul during the final day of action, with Wilson finishing eighth on the parallel bars with a score of 15.233 – gold going to China's Hao You.

But there wasn't the slightest hint of disappointment from Wilson who says watching Whitlock's gold-medal winning performance has made him more determined than ever to tick 'world champion' off his bucket list.

“It's incredible to be in the team with world champions and Olympic medalists. It gives you inspiration and we are pushing behind them,” said Wilson.

“I've got youth on Max and Louis [Smith] and I am going to work the hardest I possibly can to catch them up, and to be a world champion on day is on my life list."

“So I am going to do everything that I possibly can to get there, and proving that I can come top eight in the parallel bars at 19 is a massive stepping stone."

“Out there today I just loved every second of it, the home crowd support getting behind us like that was amazing and not many people get to experience that feeling."

“Gymnastics is gymnastics and is so unpredictable, and this week has just been absolutely incredible to win the medals as teams – that will change British gymnastics forever.”

In the penultimate event of the competition Fragapane and Downie took to the floor with the former incurring a penalty to leave her seventh with 14.466.

Downie followed her teammate and produced the third highest execution score – a superb 8.733 – to finish sixth and she is determined to add to her 6.000 difficulty rating in pursuit of a medal at Rio.

“I think that couldn’t have gone much better,” she said. “It was my first world floor final and I did I think the best routine I could have done as I nailed all my landings."

“So I couldn’t be much happier. All the hard work I’ve been putting in is paying off and it shows out there."

“This week has been really beneficial for me. My bar performances were a little disappointing on both days, but all the other successes that I’ve had have made up for that and I need to go away and work hard and make my upgrades for next year."

“I’m definitely going to try and improve across all the apparatus. You have to sit down with your coach and see what is realistic, but we have a good relationship so it will be a fun process.”
