Langton has been released from hospital after being concussed at the Commonwealth Games Running games

British gymnast Gabriel Langton admitted after crashing head-first into the horizontal bar.

English gymnast Gabriel Langton has been released from hospital after suffering an illness to fall at the Commonwealth Games.

The 19-year-old was discharged on Saturday after several tests in hospital, Team England officials said.

Langton received extensive treatment before being carried off the stage after he lost his grip during his high bar routine and landed on his head and neck.

“He is in good spirits and is very appreciative of the many messages of support and the excellent care provided by the medical teams. He is looking forward to meeting the team again to celebrate his silver medal,” he said.

The incident cast a shadow over the rest of the tournament in Glasgow as England settled behind Canada in the restart. This is the first time that England’s boys have failed to beat the team since 2010.

Langton was absent from the medal ceremony as teammates Luke Whitehouse, Alex Yolshin-Cash, Josh Nathan and Adam Tobin took home silver medals for the team.

The teenager was drafted into the squad to replace six-time Olympic medalist Max Whitlock.
