Hall nevertheless went for broke in his high bar routine but was forced to take a couple of small steps on landing amid his sore ankle, and he limped off to rip-roaring cheers from the crowd. Jarman elected to perform a safe routine on his final piece of apparatus - the high bar - but with just a small hop on his full-twisting double straight, the 20-year-old did more than enough to finish atop the pile. Fresh from helping his nation defend their gold medal in the team event, 20-year-old Jarman harnessed his youthful energy and immense skill to win the title with a total of 83.450.
The hardest man in sport was a moniker that used to be bestowed on a grizzled centre half with scar tissue or a psychotic prop forward with loose morals.
Jarman finished with a score of 83.450, ahead of Hall's 82.9, with Marios Georgiou of Cyprus taking the bronze medal.

In the women's all-around final Ondine Achampong won silver with an emotional Alice Kinsella finishing fourth.
"Having Alice to do it with me today really got me through it. As soon as he said that I just knew he was going to win." Canadian bronze medallist Emma Spence finished 3.6 points clear of Kinsella, who fought right to the end with an elegant and complex floor routine. He told me before the competition that he was going to attempt the hardest possible difficulty on vault. Hall said: "As soon as I hurt my foot Jake was there to help me and I knew I could get to the end. I think I'm OK, I should be fine to compete in my other finals, and avoid being on my injured foot too much.

Although Hall was in excruciating pain and trailing by over a point, he put Jarman under pressure until the end. She was solid on vault and then she executed a spotless uneven bars routine, save for starting the routine late and incurring a 0.3 neutral deduction.
