Summary
21-year-old Reuben Ward captured Scotland's third gold of day three, sealing the Glasgow 2026 men's all-around title before a home crowd at Emirates Arena.
Ward climbed from seventh after floor to the lead on pommel, held it through rings and a three-twist vault, then preserved a 0.550 edge after an appeal added 0.100 on parallel bars.
A clean horizontal bar finish clinched the title, prompting coach Jake Seager to celebrate before the result was official as Ward called it a "full-circle moment" after watching Dan Keatings win in Glasgow 12 years ago.
The victory followed Scotland's fourth-place team finish on Friday, and Ward still has floor and pommel finals on Monday, where he is again a medal contender.
