Harry Hepworth, 20, was part of the Great Britain men’s artistic gymnastic team which competed at the tournament in Rimini, Italy, this past weekend.
Great Britain led heading into the final stage before being pipped to gold by Ukraine, who recorded an overall score of 255.762.
Harry, along with his teammates Courtney Tulloch, Jake Jarman, Joe Fraser and James Hall won silver with a score of 255.249.
Andrew Hepworth, Harry’s dad, told the Stray Ferret that he was delighted with his son’s performance.
He said:
“I am delighted for him. It has been a long journey and it has not been straight forward at all.
“There has been ups and downs. He has been resilient and stuck to it.”
Mr Hepworth added that Harry now has his eye on securing an Olympic spot in Paris this summer.
