England gymnast Gabriel Langton has been discharged from hospital after a frightening accident during the Commonwealth Games, according to an update from team officials. The news follows concern over the 19-year-old after he was hurt in Friday's gymnastics final.
Langton was competing on the high bar when he fell during a rotation and landed on his head on the mat. He remained motionless after the impact, and the event was halted for around 30 minutes while he received medical attention.
The hospital discharge is an encouraging development after the dramatic scenes in the arena. The incident drew immediate attention because of the nature of the fall and the lengthy stoppage that followed.
England team chiefs have now confirmed that Langton is no longer in hospital, offering a positive health update after the Commonwealth Games scare. Further detail on his condition was not included in the available report, but his release represents a significant step after the head injury.
