Great Britain have dominated the Junior European Championships so far this week, following up on their win in team qualifications with the all around competition where Frank Baines took first place, followed by Nile Wilson in second. Switzerland's Eddy Yusof finished in third place.

Let's see how they perform in Sunday's event finals. Full results are given below (link to them at UEG ).
