Fraser became the first British gymnast to claim gold at the World Championships on parallel bars when he finished in first place at the 2019 edition in Stuttgart, Germany.

Fraser got into gymnastics aged five, as he used to enjoy doing flips at home as a child. His mother, concerned about injury, sent Fraser to a gymnastics centre to learn how to do the skills properly.
