Three golds, three silvers on a day to remember for Canada's Artistic Gymnasts
Chants of 'No Scotland, No Party' again rang out at the Glasgow International Arena on Monday after newly crowned All-Around champion Reuben Ward and close pal Cameron Lynn (both SCO) claimed silver and bronze respectively in the Men's Pommel Horse.
But it was Canada who had the most to celebrate with three gold medals and three silvers including a one-two in the Men's Rings, Felix Dolci edging out lifelong friend William Emard to claim his first individual Commonwealth title after three second places.

“Nothing against silver, but I feel like gold definitely suits me better, and that's always what I strive for when I compete,” Dolci said.
“Of course, it's very ambitious, but that's how I obtain my best performance and my best gymnastics. So I was super glad.”
James Hardy (AUS) claimed bronze, his second of the day after finishing third in a Floor competition won by England's Luke Whitehouse. Rene Cournoyer (CAN) was third.
"It's absolutely unbelievable," Hardy said.
"I looked up to the Commonwealth Games medallists from 2010 when I was a kid, and now to be one of those medallists is overwhelming."
“I don't think I've fully processed everything yet. It'll probably take me a couple of days, so it's hard to put into words."
Jordan Carroll (CAN) posted a personal best of 15.000 to win Pommel Horse gold ahead of Ward and Lynn after a high-scoring final. Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan (NIR) finished sixth on his return to international competition.
“Breaking the 15 mark has been a goal ever since I started specialising in Pommel Horse,” 20-year-old Carroll said.
“I did the routine of my life, I'm happy with the result, and I'm feeling great. Coming into the final, it's a huge pressure moment. You can either rise to the occasion and really show people what you can do, or you can get a little nervous. I like showing people what I can do.”
Canada's other gold came in the Women’s Vault, as 16-year-old Lia-Monica Fontaine completed the medal set at her debut Games with finals on Balance Beam and Floor still to come. Another pair of friends, Abigails Martin (ENG) and Roper (WAL), finished second and third respectively.
“It was an individual celebration, but it was also a joint celebration,” Martin said. “We were holding hands right until the final score.”
Roper then cheered twin sister Emily to bronze on the Uneven Bars, behind champion Kate McDonald (AUS) and Ellie Black (CAN).
