Dolci claims all-around silver
Canada’s Félix Dolci was flying high today — coming within two tenths of gold. Still, the silver-medal in the men’s all-around final was impressive considering Dolci was sitting in 17th place at one point. He finished with a score of 79.450. William Emard also represented Canada in the final, finishing eighth with a score of 77.250.
Dolci delivered a huge score on the horizontal bar (14.500) in the final rotation, helping secure his silver medal finish. He also posted strong marks on vault (14.200), parallel bars (13.950) and rings (13.850). His floor exercise score of 13.450 was his highest event score, while he recorded a 9.500 on pommel horse.
Dolci adds to his medal haul after helping Canada capture gold in the team event earlier in the competition.
Scotland’s Reuben Ward made history on home soil, becoming the first Scottish gymnast to win the Commonwealth men’s all-around title. Ward claimed gold with a score of 79.650, while Australia’s Jesse Moore took bronze with 79.000.
