Jarman's result and Olympic qualification

Another British gymnast, Jake Jarman, finished sixth with 82.865 points. According to BBC Sport, this is the best result for two British athletes in the men's all-around at a single World Championship.

Before the individual all-around, Great Britain finished fourth in the team competition. As a result, the team did not secure a place at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, but will have another opportunity to qualify at the next World Championships. Jarman will also compete in the floor exercise final on Saturday.

Fraser celebrated the bronze medal by sucking his thumb — a tribute to his pregnant girlfriend, who was watching the competition at home. According to the athlete, four weeks remain until the birth of their child.
