Jamie Gibney comes fifth at World Youth Trampoline Championships

The 18-year-old was in the silver medal position after the first pass - his mark just a fraction behind the leader.

Unfortunately, his second pass was not quite as impressive and he dropped outside of the medal, but still achieved a respectable fifth place.

Mum Wendy Gibney said: "We are so proud of Jamie finishing fifth.

"He scored a personal best at an international competition today.

"To make his first world championships final and to be ranked fifth in the world is a great achievement."

Gibney remains in Tokyo until Monday where he will support the rest of the team and also plans a spot of sight-seeing.
