Who is Joe Fraser, the European Championships gymnast from Birmingham – what medals has he won, age, height

Just weeks after winning three gold medals at the Commonwealth Games, Birmingham-born gymnast Joe Fraser has been further adding his name to the history books with success at the European Championships in Munich.

Despite still recovering from an ankle fracture he suffered two weeks before the Commonwealth’s, Fraser has now added another three gold medals to his already stacked collection, making him one of the most in-form gymnasts on the planet.

Representing Great Britain, Fraser won the all-around at the European Championships, beating Turkish duo Adem Asil and Ahmet Önder to the top of the podium.

Here’s everything you need to know about Joe Fraser, including what medals he’s won, how old he is, and how tall he is.
