Aylesbury Gymnast Jessica Gadirova says she feels "over the moon" after becoming Britain's second ever all-around European gymnastics champion.

It's the 18-year-old's second gold of the European Championships, having won the team title.

Gadirova says it's an "incredible feeling", just over a year ahead of the Olympics.

Floor world champion Gadirova told BBC Sport that winning the European all-around title meant "so much" to her.

"The journey up here has been difficult but I'm glad I gave it my all and I pushed through it," she said.

"I just thought [going into the floor apparatus] it was the last routine I was going to do in the all-around, so give it my all and perform with my heart and just give a performance that everyone will enjoy.

"Literally... I'm so speechless about it. It is just incredible."
