England's Nile Wilson 'surprised' to win gymnastics all-around Commonwealth bronze

England gymnast Nile Wilson admits that he never expected to medal in the all-around final at the Commonwealth Games.

England gymnast Nile Wilson has admitted that he never expected to win an all-around medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The 18-year-old scooped bronze in this afternoon's final at the Hydro, while his England teammate Max Whitlock won gold and Scotland's Dan Keatings nabbed silver.

"This is a big surprise," Wilson told reporters. "I did not come here expecting to win an all-around medal. The team gold yesterday was just unbelievable.

"I came in today not expecting much, just focusing on my job and hoping to hit my routines and it came off, I'm just really happy to win the bronze, it's unbelievable."

Gold medallist Whitlock told Sports Mole after collecting his medal that the depth of British gymnastics is strong after three Brits made it onto the podium today.
