After Way and McKenna competed two clean, consistent passes, it all came down to the final pass by Williamson who needed to perform a clean pass with a twisting somersault to take the gold.

With everything at stake, Williamson, of Birkenhead Trampoline Club, kept a cool head and stuck her landing, clinching the team world champion title for GB.
