Commenting on the results, CEO of Gymnastics Ireland, Ciaran Gallagher, said: “Congratulations to Rhys and Adam on a great performance in Doha.
“Adam pulled out a solid performance in qualifications in what was his World Cup Debut.
“Rhys was unlucky today not to finish on the podium for Pommel Horse given that he qualified in 3rd place. His 4th place finish as one of the youngest in the competition is still a huge achievement in what was a top-drawer field of competitors all with their eyes on Tokyo. Congratulations to the entire delegation.”
