Jake Jarman (born 3 December 2001) is a British artistic gymnast from Peterborough, competing internationally for Great Britain, and for England at the Commonwealth Games. In his first major senior championships, the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Jarman won the gold medal in the team all-around, individual all-around, floor exercise and vault, the first English male gymnast to win four gold medals at a single Games. A few weeks later in Munich, representing Great Britain, Jarman became European champion in the team and vault events, becoming the first British male to win European gold on vault. In 2023, Jarman added vault gold at the 2023 World Championships, the first Briton to win world gold on the apparatus, the fourth male British world champion (after Max Whitlock, Joe Fraser and Giarnni Regini-Moran), and sixth British world champion (after Whitlock, Fraser, Regini-Moran, Jessica Gadirova and Beth Tweddle).
In 2024 Jarman won his second European vault title, before winning the bronze medal in the 2024 men's Olympic floor exercise, his first Olympic medal.
Jarman was born on 3 December 2001 in Peterborough, England, [1] to a British father and a Filipino mother from Cebu. [2] In an interview with the Philippine Star , Jarman revealed that he lived in the Philippines for two years between the ages of three and five and still communicates with his Filipino relatives. [2]
In 2018, Jarman competed in the junior division of the European Championships, where he helped the British team take the silver medal behind Russia, and also picked up an individual silver on vault. [3]
In 2021, at the age of 19, Jarman finished tenth in the all-around at the European Championships, [4] and was selected as a reserve for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. [1] The following year became his breakthrough year, taking the British senior titles in floor and vault. Selected to represent England at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Jarman won gold in four events; the team competition, [5] [6] the individual all-around, with England teammate James Hall in second place, [7] [8] the floor final with teammate Giarnni Regini-Moran in bronze, [9] and the vault final with Regini-Moran in silver. [10]
Jarman then competed for Great Britain at the 2022 European Championships, where he helped Great Britain win the team final for the first time in a decade, and only the second time ever. [11] Additionally, he finished 8th in the individual all-around and qualified for the floor final, but initially missed the vault final on the two-per-nation rule despite qualifying in fifth. [12] On individual finals day Jarman won bronze on floor before the withdrawal of teammate Giarnni Regini-Moran from the vault final to concentrate on parallel bars allowed Jarman to take part in that final. Taking advantage, Jarman won gold in the vault final, edging out Armenian rival Artur Davtyan on tie-break. [13]
During the 2023 World Challenge Cup Series, Jarman became the first gymnast to perform a 3.5 twisting double layout salto on floor exercise, getting the skill named after him in the Code of Points. [14] He then was part of the British team that represented Great Britain at the 2023 World Championships, where the British team placed fourth, and individually, Jarman made the all-around final and won the gold medal in the vault final.
At the 2024 European Championships Jarman helped Great Britain finish second as a team behind Ukraine. Individually he won his second gold medal on vault. In June of that year Jarman was selected to represent Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Joe Fraser, Harry Hepworth, Luke Whitehouse, and Max Whitlock. [15] Paris was Jarman's Olympic debut and with his teammates, finished fourth at the team all-around. [16] He qualified for the finals of the floor exercise with the highest score of 14.966 and ultimately won bronze medal with a score of 14.933, his career-first Olympic medal and Team GB's first Paris medal in artistic gymnastics. [17] [16] Jarman finished his 2024 Olympics stint with a fourth place in vault. [18]
During the Paris Olympics, it was reported in Philippine news media that the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) is recruiting Jarman to potentially represent the country at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, with GAP president Cynthia Carrion stating that "[Jarman] wants to play for the Philippines".
