Eamon Montgomery added another medal to his collection as he claimed bronze in the floor event at the World Cup final event in Cairo.
Montgomery recorded a score of 14.066 in Egypt in what is the fourth and final event in the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup series following a mark of 8.166 for expression off a 5.9 routine difficulty.
The 20-year-old Antrim man, coached by Conor McGovern, came in third behind Illia Kovtun - who improved dramatically from qualifying to score 14.433 - and Aurel Benovic of Croatio [14.166].
"I was happy enough with the routine today," he said afterwards. "I can do better, I didn't have as many sticks as I should but I'll get there in time. I'll get some rest now and I'll get back in a few weeks."
