Overview
- The 19‑year‑old England gymnast fell head‑first from the horizontal (high) bar during the men's team final on Friday, landing roughly three metres onto the mat.
- Medical teams attended immediately and treated him on the floor for about 20–30 minutes before placing him on a stretcher with head and neck support and taking him to a Glasgow hospital.
- Team England and British Gymnastics said Langton was conscious, moving and speaking with doctors, underwent multiple scans that showed no serious complications, and was discharged to return to the team hotel.
- Competition resumed after the delay and the result stood with Canada winning gold, England taking silver and Australia bronze, and Langton — who had been a late call‑up to replace Max Whitlock — absent from the podium.
- The episode underlined the physical risks of elite gymnastics, the importance of rapid on‑site medical protocols, and that Langton will remain under Team England medical supervision as he recovers.
