At the Grass Roots organised event, hosted by TV presenters Michael Underwood and Gabby Logan, the winners of each skill category were presented with medals.

The UK picked up a total of 13 medals – five of them gold.

More than 150,000 visitors were expected to attend the four-day event, but the final figure was nearer 200,000.
