Colombian gymnasts Dilan Jiménez and Andrés Martínez won silver and bronze medals respectively in the Challenge Cup in Varna (Bulgaria) that concluded this Sunday.
Jiménez was named runner-up in parallel bars with a drill that yielded 14,150 points.
The gold went to the Cypriot Marios Georgiou with 14.850 and the bronze to the German Marcel Nguyen -Olympic runner-up in 2012- with 14.150.
The tiebreaker between the Colombian and the German was decided by the best performance score of the former.
Jiménez presented an original element, a double somersault exit with a full turn in a grouped position, but from the end of the bars, not from one of the sides as specialists in this device usually do. He nailed it to finish off a brilliant exercise.
In the last game of the competition, Andrés Martínez, new champion of Colombia after his return to the mat after overcoming a serious knee injury, secured the bronze on the crossbar with 13,650 points, led only by Georgiou (14,350) and the German Carlo Hoerr (13,800).
