Bryony Page has won individual gold at the last two World Championships, as well as silver at the Rio Olympics and bronze at Tokyo 2020

Olympic silver medallist Bryony Page defended her European women's trampoline title in Portugal.

The reigning world champion added to her medal haul a day after winning gold in the women's synchronised event.

Page, 33, scored 55.630 to claim victory on the final day of the European Championships in Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline and Tumbling.

Kristof Willerton, 30, also boosted Britain's medal tally in Guimaraes with bronze in the men's tumbling.

But the day belonged to Page, who repeated her success at the last European Championships in Italy two years ago, when she also won individual and synchronised titles.

"It was really important to me to put out the routines that I wanted to do [at the summer's Olympics in Paris]," said Page. "I hoped for the best outcome, so I'm really happy with the result in the synchro yesterday and the individual competition today."

Reigning British champion Izzy Songhurst, who partnered Page to gold in the synchronised event, finished seventh.

The British team also picked up a host of medals in junior events.

Sebastian Bandeira Freire won gold in the boys' tumbling, edging team-mate Otis Mason into second place, while defending champion Alicia Field took silver in the girls' competition.

James Keenan won the boys' European title in double mini-trampoline (DMT) as team-mate Declan Carter took bronze.

Paige Russell won DMT silver, just ahead of fellow Briton Jessica Vickery in third.
