Fraser ruptured his appendix and fractured his foot in the weeks building up to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, but recovered to win individual pommel horse and parallel bars gold and help England to the team title.

He began with what proved to be the lowest score of 13.633 in the floor exercise at the Olympiahalle in the German city, but recovered with superb displays on the pommel horse and parallel bars, top scoring in both with 14.600 and 15.066 respectively.

Scores of 14.266 with the rings and 14.300 in the vault contributed to his total, and left him requiring 13.266 on the horizontal bar for the win.

Fraser's 13.700 routine helped him to finish on a winning total of 85.565.

"To be honest, it's hard to believe that four weeks ago tomorrow I fractured my foot and I was unable to do six apparatus as much as I tried to get back for the Commonwealth Games," he said afterwards.

"Actually, in hindsight I'm glad that I took myself off of that competition, because now I was able to do six apparatus.

"Maybe not quite to the best of my ability, but good enough to be European champion.

"Honestly, I'm over the world."

Turkish pair Ahmet Önder and Adem Asil took silver and bronze respectively, scoring 85.131 and 84.465.

Ondra took second with 170.8 after posting 90.1 on the lead route, while Olympic champion Alberto Ginés López of Spain climbed from fifth to third.

López scored 61.7 from the boulder element, but recovered to score 90.0 on the lead route and finish on 151.7.
