It's bronze for Team GB's YOUNGEST athlete: Gymnast Amy Tinkler is just 16 years and 293 days old... and just one month ago she did her GCSEs

Amy Tinkler has won a bronze in the women's floor exercise event
She becomes the youngest British Olympic medalist in 32 years
Just last month the teenager was taking her GCSE examinations


Tinkler came behind two Americans, Simon Biles and Aly Raisman, who won gold and silver respectively.
The teenager achieved a score of 14.933 and was pipped to the second position by Raisman who received 15.500.

The artistic gymnast began training at the South Durham Gymnastics club, where her mum was a coach, from the age of two and now practises 31 hours a week.
Moments after her victory was sealed, Kelly Milnes, senior coach at the gymnastics club said: 'I am absolutely over the moon - we've all been in the gym this evening watching her.



'We are overwhelmed, excited, emotional - everything. Her routine was absolutely flawless, the best she has ever done it.'
Having just completed her GCSE exams, Tinkler recently took a short break from competitions to focus on her school work - but it clearly did not hinder her sporting prowess in the slightest.
'Amy loves what she does, she has been loving the whole experience out there, and that is a special quality in her,' said Ms Milnes. 'She never cracks under pressure.
