Rhys McClenaghan has won silver on the pommel horse final today at the 2023 FIG Apparatus World Cup in Doha.
Teammates Adam Steele, Dominick Cunningham, Eamon Montgomery and Halle Hilton concluded their apparatus qualifiers Thursday with Hilton making first reserve for the beam final tomorrow afternoon.
“It was a good routine, his best one of the year, so that’s good,” said Gymnastics Ireland National Coach Luke Carson.
“At each competition he has demonstrated an improvement from the previous routine, so at this early stage in the competition season that’s excellent to see. Going into Baku we will focus on difficulty and improving execution. It was a very high standard competition, a high standard final today, so it’s excellent to be on the podium.”
“Great to see Rhys back on the podium out at the 2023 World Cup in Doha, the 2nd stop on the circuit for our guys,” added Gymnastics Ireland CEO Ciaran Gallagher. “Important points banked for Worlds qualifications again ahead of the last stop on the circuit in Baku and before European Championships in April! Great work from all our gymnasts and of course coaches, judges and athlete support team out on the circuit so far”
Next up is the last World Cup of this series where the Irish Artistic Gymnastics Team will compete from 9th to 12th March in Baku, Azerbaijan.
