The British men defeated France while the French women topped Germany at a dual meet held Thursday in Arques, France.

Two-time national champion Daniel Purvis led Great Britain to a close victory over the French, 354.75-353.05. The British had the top team total on four of the six events, ceding pommel horse and still rings to their hosts.

Purvis scored 90.95 to win the all-around title, more than 2 points ahead of France's Arnaud Willig (88.85). World all-around medalist Daniel Keatings (Great Britain) was third with 88.70.

France's Pierre-Yves Bény, fifth on still rings at the 2004 Olympics, tore his left biceps on rings. Willig is set to replace Bény on the French team to the upcoming world championships.

In the women's competition, France comfortably topped Germany, 223.40-217.20. The Germans outscored their hosts on uneven bars and floor exercise, but fell apart on beam.

Germany's Nadine Jarosch won the all-around title (55.80) in a tight individual contest, edging French gymnasts Marine Brevet (55.55) and Aurélie Maluessena (55.10).
