Floor bronze medal winner Dan Purvis said “I’m delighted with the bronze. It was very tough field and the routines were a great standard. It was difficult watching the other guy’s performances and going last up but I knew if I went for my routine I was capable of getting a medal. It’s been a long time coming for me to medal on floor since my World and European bronze’s in 2010 and I’m really happy to have proved myself today.”
