It was a special night for Welsh gymnast Joe Cemlyn-Jones. Not only did his three-month old daughter Hallie watch him compete for the first time, but it turned out to be the last time also as Cemlyn-Jones announced his retirement.

"Genuinely, before each routine I had to stop myself from tearing up a bit, because it wasn't just my little one in the crowd for the very first time, my own daughter," Cemlyn-Jones told BBC Sport Wales.

"It's actually my last ever competition. So it was my last time putting my hand up in front of the judges.

"It's been something special. It's been really emotional. I wanted to go in with a smile, I wanted to end with a smile, and that's what I've done, so I'm happy."
