Glasgow, July 26: English gymnast Gabriel Langton has been discharged from hospital after undergoing scans following a horrific fall during the men's team final at the Commonwealth Games, British Gymnastics confirmed.

The 19-year-old gymnast was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after landing head-first on the floor during the final rotation at The Arena. Doctors later confirmed that he had escaped any serious injury complications.

Langton suffered the injury after missing his catch on the horizontal metal bar, positioned around three metres above the ground. He fell heavily onto the mat, requiring immediate medical attention and causing a lengthy delay in the competition.

Medical staff attended to him for several minutes before he was moved onto a stretcher with his head and neck supported. He was later taken away from the arena on a trolley.
