Scotland?s Daniel Keatings did enough to book his place in the all-around final at the World Artistic Gymnastic Championships at the O2 Arena but crashed out of the pommel horse event.

The 19-year-old Kettering-born ace, who represented Scotland at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, advanced to the all-around final ranked fourth ? behind Japan's Kohei Uchimura, Russia's Maxim Devyatovskiy and American Timothy O'Neill.

A slip during the dismount in the pommel horse exercise, in which he claimed bronze at the European Championships earlier this year, curtailed his progress in that event but Keatings insists the priority was the all-around competition.

"Overall I'm pleased, it went good," said Keatings.

"I had a couple of unfortunate errors, which can be sorted out in the next day or two.

"The first half of pommel went really clean but in the dismount my hand slipped. It's one of my highest scoring apparatus, so that's upsetting.

"But the important thing was to qualify for the all-around.

"I'm going to go into Thursday feeling positive. I'm going to do the best I can and hopefully go clean on the six routines. I'm hoping I've got my mistakes out of the way now."
