Another fine effort by Ethan Dick

Another fine effort by Ethan Dick

Teenage gymnast Ethan Dick continued his fine showing at the Commonwealth Games when he finished fifth in the men’s floor routine today.

The 17-year-old’s score of 13.500 was still some way behind Cypriot winner Marios Georgiou, who recorded 13.966. But considering this is Dick’s first senior competition, he performed with distinction.

Dick was a member of the New Zealand team that finished sixth and came 11th in the individual all-around competition.

Dick’s countryman Devy Dyson, 24, finished sixth in the men’s rings today with 13.533 points. The event was won by Englishman Courtney Tulloch, with 14.833.
