'Millimetres away from gold!' GB's McArthur wins climbing bronze
Great Britain's Hamish McArthur settled for a bronze medal after a nail-biting men's lead final at the Climbing World Championships in Moscow.
The 19-year-old finished behind Austria's Jakob Schubert and Slovenia's Luka Potocar with a score of 46+.
McArthur narrowly missed out on topping out the route, which would have been good enough to clinch gold.
It is a third world lead title for Olympic bronze medallist Schubert after his wins in 2012 and 2018.
McArthur's fellow Britons William Bosi and Billy Ridal finished 11th and 26th respectively.
