G. Langton, who replaced six-time Olympian Max Whitlock in the competition, fell in the middle of the routine – failing to grab the bar, he fell on his head and neck.
After the fall, the athlete lay motionless and was carried out of the arena on a stretcher with a neck brace.
Team representatives later confirmed that he was moving and communicating with doctors in the hospital.
Canada took the gold medal from England in this category for the first time since the 2010 Delhi Games.

G. Langton’s teammates later admitted that continuing the competition was emotionally difficult.
“It was really tough. We just had to get rid of those thoughts, try to push them aside and focus on the task we had to do.
I think everyone should be proud of how we continued the competition after Gabe’s fall,” said British gymnast Luke Whitehouse.
