Commonwealth gymnastics halted by horror fall for England's Langton

The men's final of the team gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games on Friday was temporarily halted after England's Gabriel Langton landed awkwardly off the high bar.

Langton, 19, was carefully attended to by nine medical staff and helped onto a stretcher.

Despite landing on his neck, Langton was able to move his arms in acknowledgement of the crowd's applause as he was carried away from the arena.

The competition was coming to a tense conclusion but was held up for 20 minutes and the gymnasts were then offered the chance to go through another warm-up.

England had been sitting in silver medal position behind Canada and narrowly in front of Australia and Scotland in the battle for the podium with one apparatus to go.
