Who became Britain's first Olympic gold medalist in artistic gymnastics?

Max Antony Whitlock (born 13 January 1993) is a British artistic gymnast. He is a five-time Olympic medalist (all around, team, floor exercise and twice on pommel horse), winning two golds and three bronzes, and a five-time world medalist on the same apparatus with one gold and four silvers. He became Britain's first ever gold medalist in artistic gymnastics when he won both the men's floor and pommel horse exercises at the 2016 Summer Olympics. With ten medals and three titles in Olympic and world championships, Whitlock is the most successful gymnast in his nation's history.

Whitlock was selected for Great Britain's 2016 Olympic gymnastic team, along with Louis Smith, Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas and Brinn Bevan. He won a bronze medal in the all-round gymnastics event, Great Britain's first in this Olympic event for 108 years. He later went on to win the gold in the individual floor exercise, becoming the first British gymnast to win an individual gold. Two hours later he won a second gold in the individual pommel horse.
