Yes. That is her chance at the moment. Gilmore is playing far

better, and she is just, as I say, Michelle Chan will have to wait for

that window of opportunity, and hope she can stay in the game long tough

-- enough for Gilmore to get nervous. That has landed in. To do

that, play the forehand side rather than the backhand side, because

Gilmore has more options from that backhand side than her forehand

side. Providing she plays the normal round the head shot. Yes. Yes.

A little nod from Michelle Chan to her coaches, but... She missed it

Gilmore deep backhand side, and you're shaking your head, more on

the. Obviously, every player is having good and bad shots in this.

That shot, actually landing in one of my favourite positions, and I

would have pumped that clear down the line,

would have pumped that clear down the really flat from the backhand

side and down the line to that forehand side, but you know,

everyone is having their own favourite shots and that was just

one of mine. Backhand serve again. This time low.

Good reply. Yes. Five. Seven. It sounds strange what

I am going to say now, but I think even though that Gilmore lost this

rally, it was still a good change. That was a good change from Chan.

Oh my goodness. Trying to play that with a round the head action, surely

he should have played a backhand. Yes.

-- she should have played a backhand. He has to be ready now.

Oh, my goodness! From that situation, two shots are

coming, either the drive down the line, which we saw or the drop shot.

That is the two shots that will come.

It is looking good from Kirstie, you can follow the conclusion of this

match on the website. The reason we are leaving the

Emirates arena is because we heading to the Hydro, a packed crowd across

the river yesterday, the world class athlete showing just why they are

the best on the planet and what a day it was.

There you go. That is so impressive. Another gold for Max Whitlock.

And it is England Claudia Fragapane, she could get gold.

Daniel Keatings is in with a chance for a medal.

There is your golden boy! Scotland's Daniel Keatings!

Max Whitlock with the silver, and Louis Smith with a bronze.

Becky Downie. This is the impressive bit. Speeding up into the full

twist. Rebecca Downie is Commonwealth

champion! There you go, Daniel Purvis.

Very nice. He takes the bronze medal.

There is a row -- there is a roar as the finalists have entered. In this

final, there is one Englishman and two Scotsman. From England, it is

Kristian Thomas. There he is. He took in France paddle in the World

Championships in 2003. Scott Morgan, the Canadian, being introduced will

stop another gymnast from Scotland, Adam Cox, listen to the roar from

the home crowd! Ashish Kumar is the next gymnast

being induced. It is the young lad from Scotland

next, Frank Baines. Kent Peterson from Australia.

And Jaffray rounds off the finalists.

Sitting beside me is Beth Tweddle. It is a big day for both of those

lads, Kristian and Frank. They have been quiet on the

individual medal fronts. They will want to go out and prove

themselves as individuals. Frank has three finals, Kristian has

two. Before we get down there, the gymnasts will be doing two vaults.

gymnasts will be doing They both need to have different

entries and the scores will be averaged. The difficulty especially

with Kristian Thomas is unbelievable. He performs under

pressure. All eyes are on the gymnasts in the

arena, nothing else is going on apart from these individual finals.

It really is nerve wracking. The first gymnast is Wah Toon Hoe.

This is the first of his two vaults. Let us join your commentators.

He qualified in fourth place. A double twist. 5.2 difficulty. Very

nice opener. That will give him a good platform for his second

attempt. A good first vaults, not the most

difficult, scored out of 5.2. A bit of a deduction on legs apart. He

snaps them together to make the two twists. A big step on landing. The

execution scores, and of ten. I think the judges will be able to

take a little bit off there. One vaults in the locker. Mentioning

earlier, it is important they have a decent second vaults, a reliable

second vaults, that is always the challenge.

Actually, he landed quite well, just putting his arms out to stabilise.

He stepped back and brought the foot back in, 0.1. Good in terms of

direction. You will see a difficulty score. We

already know that will be 5.2. Then an execution score which will

be the one added, to make the difference.

His second vaults, same difficulty, 5.2.

I'd take a guess he will be going forward, obviously. It is a 5.2.

That is his Commonwealth Games over. He was seventh on the floor,

he has put in a very good bid for medal here.

A lovely, clean gymnast. His first was a bit ragged.

That one wasn't. It was but the direction was good. The height was

good. This was even better. One wasn't. It was but the direction was

good. The height was good. This was even better the landing, a tiny

deviation from that red line down the middle. His legs a bit apart on

the flight. But it is harder for the judges to spot when you are doing a

forward vaults. -- vault. He came into the final as the fourth

highest qualifier. You never know what is going to happen with the

landings. That is right. Two good, steady

vaults even with not the highest difficulty, could be better than

chancing your arm. Very nice in the air.

chancing your arm. average score that counts. It is the

one at the top. Very good execution. Over 9.0. Keep your eye on that

execution score. So, for England, Kristian Thomas. So

off in Great Britain have relied on his expertise. But, today, it is all

about him as an individual gymnast. A score of 6.0 on the difficulty

school board -- score. Such an impressive vaulter. A double

pike. Boat! He has overcooked it. You cannot hold onto that pike for

too long because you will get an excess of rotation which is what

happened. Huge disappointment, you can see it

written all over his face. He has another vaults but it is the average

of both which count. I was surprised, he blocked it and

went up really well. He held on a little too long to the

pipe. A fantastically difficult Vokes. His hips were behind his

feet. He did not have a chance -- vault.

He was dead centre as well. He held onto the pike for a little too long.

You could argue Riu -- you could argue he had so much height, that is

the reason why he over rotated. Yes. He probably felt, I don't

believe I can beat this high, perfect technique. But, by the time

he came round about now, he needs to be letting go of the legs... Not

now, the first somersault, but about now. He waited until the feat almost

landed before he let go. He obviously did not feel he was as

high as he was. Kristian Thomas, his score. So,

still a huge score. The Scottish team watching.

This one is slightly easier, 5.6, but still incredibly difficult.

This one is slightly easier, 5.6, will want to show everybody what he

can do here. He has doubled backwards,

doubles forward. That is more like doubles forward. That is more like

it, just the pace. It is not easy to time the double front.

He did that really well. disappointed after the first.

Sometimes that might affect disappointed after the first.

second but he didn't let it. He could still get a medal here.

Yes, immense difficulty. That is one of the advantages. He could still be

in with a chance. He gets the hand in really quickly,

in with a chance. punches up, spins around twice,

makes the landing. He will have wanted to play a little bit safe. It

is easier to step forwards than back. His effectiveness of the top

of the platform is wonderful. It is interesting the order you put

those in, why would he go for the double pike backwards first?

Because that is the one he competes with in competition. The double pike

back. And this is his second. He would have done the one he is most

confident with, first. Enormous height. To kill that

rotation. You were quite right, a medal is

definitely still on the cards because that second will stand him

in very good stead indeed. And the first, other than the fall,

there wasn't much to take off. It was still a good, high score.

First gymnast ago watching the board eagerly.

Kristian Thomas goes into the lead. A huge execution school, that second

attempt. -- score.

Scott Morgan here. Gold on rings, silver on floor.

What has he got to offer? Power. Bucket loads.

Look at that, he really does attack it. Very nice double twist and a

straight front. Not as high, though?

But massively long. Almost three quarters of the landing platform.

Amazing length. But there will be some deductions for height. And he

was slightly off line as well. The reason it was so long is he rolled

his shoulders before he blocked off the top. But that is a really

difficult vault. And he is a very powerful gymnast. A

perfect illustration, the shoulders in front of the hands, the

conversion upwards will be delayed. It would make this more easy to

land, without over rotating. There should be deductions for lack

of height because he almost levered it over.

Huge power, though. Massive. ", he put up a difficulty of 5.6 for

both attempts -- in the qualification, he put up a

difficulty score. Likely to put in an extra half

twist. 5.6 difficulty. Yes! That is a very strong bid.

Consistent, and he knows it. Surely that is a third medal? For sure, he

is absolutely delighted. He is very well orientated in that vault.

Twisting it is not easy to land. He turns on, snapped the body and wraps

in the 2.5 twists. Really strong work. A step to the side will be

in the 2.5 twists. Really strong 0.1 deduction. And a slight lack of

height. having. highest qualifier. Saw how

wide his arms were onto the platform. He is a very strong

gymnast. Uses his strength. You can see him look at the floor so he

knows where he is so he can adjust his landing. No doubt, he takes the

lead. He taken lead, 14 point 733 is the score to beat. Christian Thomas

drops into second place. Adam Cox from Scotland introduced. This is

his swansong. This will be the last time we see him. He will give it

everything. Easier in the difficult to look good in the execution.

Phillips on. But the twist in. It was one twist. Good extension

through the shoulders. That will be a deduction, ending Brenes off. He

uses a tapper and kick out technique. It will be interesting to

see what he does with the order of vaults. He may have gone to the

easier one first. It might be a technical error that they put the

wrong vaults up first. I don't know how much of it he can see! Adam Cox

with his second vault. Nothing wrong with that board system. Adam playing

South and enjoying the moment. That is it for Adam Cox 's. He will now

retire. He soaks up the feeling and what appealing to leave gymnastics

with, Chris? What are failing to do in your own home city, make the

finals and float into a perfect landing, what a way to finish. It

was a dream of a vaults. It was, not very difficult because he did not

add any twists. It is a great feeling to float through the air,

knowing you will not be scrabbling for a landing. I think when gymnasts

retire, one of the things they miss the most will be flying through the

air. I remember it well, flying through the air. Let's rechristen

this, flying Friday for all of the X gymnasts who remember that feeling.

Adam Cox 's: Congratulations on a wonderful career. Happy retirement.

We all know what this means. Scott Morgan, the current leader watches

on. Stand by your bed is everyone. Double pipe. He has got to keep the

pike otherwise it drop to 5.6. I was a little bit nervous watching this.

The all-around competition, it wasn't great. This was very nice. It

will be interesting to see what the judges said. It was a pike verb but

the second was a somersault. Here is the view. Legs straight. I don't

think they are straight enough. It should be a five .6 will stop but

full marks for determination. Fabulous flight. I think the same

happened with Fabulous flight. I think the same

gave him 5.6. Slightly lower than Christian Thomas's first vault.

He was way too early kicking that one out. Could there be a zero? You

have to get your feet down to get a score. Let's look at the replay.

Surely that would have taken the wind out of his sails? Definitely.

It will have jolted him. Good block. He brought his knees back in the

wrong direction. He probably knew he had done that. He plummeted. Baled

out early, no choice. What a shame. He is having exactly the same

conversation, he did not get his heels over. No time to put that

right now, his Commonwealth Games 2014 is over. There is your leader

at the moment, Scott Morgan. Of Kristian Thomas from England. Frank

Baines for Scotland. He is in all three finals today so a very busy

day ahead for him. But Frank Baines is certainly in he knows he could

get a medal. This is a 5.6 difficulty. An extra half twist can

do the damage. I think the problem is he tries to be too perfect. It

was so high, waited for the pure moment to wrap the

was so high, waited for the pure moment to twist in, it was too late.

He goes on, up high. Perfect technique. Sometimes you have to

compromise a bit. His feet were way down on the deck. That twist was

started very late. I am sure everyone will appreciate his

absolute style as we see the slow motion. Just unfortunately for him,

the floor was not low enough! Technically beautiful. Lovely line.

Look at that. You could almost see it in his face. When he saw the

floor he probably knew it was a little bit too high without

rotation. Still plenty of medal chances for him today. No doubt,

Chris, he will be thinking compromise in his mind here? Go for

landing on the feet! Well done! He got the roach. He really got that.

Perfect timing with his heels over his head. He got his feet down

first. That will be significant, if he can make a bigger vault like

that, it will lift his chances of pressing into the senior British

men's team. This is a big day for Frank gains. He times that very

nicely. He is such a good gymnast. He is just not quite a seasoned

competitor. He hasn't found the way to make it work. 19 years old, it is

worth noting, in a gymnast's career, you have those growing spurts,

having a smaller body is easier to rotate. Suddenly the bigger gymnast

wake up one day and they are an inch taller. It did not happen to me! It

is an interesting point, Chris? He has grown while he was injured. He

is stronger. He has got a man's body now. When he was competing as a

junior, he was very slight. Talk about rockets off the top. Frank

James, 14.0 16 puts him into fourth. He will be back on the high bars.

Scott Morgan from Canada leads this field. Kristian Thomas in second

place for England. Wah Toon Hoe hanging on in at the brands medal at

the moment. -- bronze medal. He got a silver at the championships this

year. Seventh highest qualifier. It was deep but he got it right. He is

so relieved. He did get it down but he also sat on the floor at the end

of it. If you sit down, what deduction are you talking? A

hallmark, I would think. You'll get another view in a second. He did

touch. Just scraped it. Nothing like the height Frank Baines achieved.

What he really speeds. Look how closely he gets his head into his

knees. That increases the rotation. We will probably see here... Feet

down. Difficult to tell. Yes, one marker off. But that is still a

score. They didn't take a mark of. Wah Toon Hoe in bronze medal

position will be watching this very closely. Pieterse with his second

vaults. 1.5 twists will stop a little bit off-line but that was not

in doubt. Much less dynamic as well. First was saved, and he got a

good score for it. -- safe. Half well. First was saved, and he got a

good score for it. -- safe. turns on this time. Straight body, 1.5

twists. Lack of control on the landing.

this time. Straight body, 1.5 twists. Lack of Wraps in a 1.5.

Manages to control it. Pleased with his work. His average will be quite

impressive. 14.099 for Kent Pieterse as he gives an invitation for the

next games. That guarantees Kristian Thomas a medal. At Lois a bronze

with one gymnast left to go. -- at least a bronze. -- Aizat Bin

Muhammad Jufrie will be the last to go.

The front somersault straight. And they have done well, the gymnasts

from Singapore. . Very well indeed. they have done well, the gymnasts

Both the men and the women, very much improved. This was a bit untidy

I think. Legs apart at the start. Snap

I think. deep, in the pike, when he landed.

I think. Legs were apart on that turn on.

They were together in the twist off, so the double twist. Yes,

interesting you so the double twist. Yes,

twist because of the one hand if front of the other approach, but to

my mind I have always front of the other approach, but to

that is is a handspring with one hand in front of the other.

Technically it was a double twist. Yes, I agree, Mitch, for my mind,

that is like a handspring, but, in the code, in the jumping manual, if

you make one hand in front of the other it is considered to be a turn

on, and then a double twist off. Absolutely.

14 scored then, for Aizat Bin Muhammad Jufrie's first vault. He

need an outreach of over 14.195 to get up into the medals.

So everything, then on this last vault, for Jufrie.

A 5.2 difficulty. He will be concentrating on

execution here. He has got to absolutely nail it.

Well, there you you go. That was a handspring, one-and-a-half twist.

Same vault with one hand, I am not happy, I never have been. I am

picking up on that, both vaults have to have a different entry, you are

saying one hand is a bit further in front of the other. Yes. As oppose

to making a turn on. It is a bit of a loophole in the judging manual,

this time you see he goes on both hands parallel, one-and-a-half

twists off. And it really was very similar to the first vault, but it

is allowed, and he performed it really quite, I think he performed

this vault better than the other one. He blocked well; buzz his chest

was right down on that landing. That is where the marks will be lost.

Little delay coming off. The rotation stopped. Shoulders down and

he piked his feet down, and that is, that is the big deduction, it can be

as much as half a mark for landing like that is You were saying

howening shurks how wonderful the Singapore gymnasts have been, that

puts him into sixth. His compatriot from Singapore, he will take the

bronze medal. But there is your Commonwealth

champion on vault, Scott Morgan from Canada, to match his gold on rings

and a silver he got on floor, but what a moment for Wah Toon Hoe. He

takes the bronze medal. And England's Kristian Thomas, he takes

the silver here. In the men's vault final.

Celebration indeed, another step forward. Huge moment for Singapore.

I am sure that it is not the colour that Kristian Thomas was off but he

will be happy with a medal. And individual medal. It shows his

quality as a vaulter when you can make a mistake like that and still

take the silver medal. Well, Scott Morgan, you absolutely

see he is delighted. He is having a storming Commonwealth competition.

But for Wah Toon Hoe, they will always remember Glasgow 2014.

So a 28th gold medal for Canada, wonderful atmosphere inside the

Hydro and also, today. We will be popping back to the Hydro

in about 15 minutes time for the women's beam final. In the meantime

I'm going to bring you up to date with what has been happening at

Glasgow Green, we with what has been happening at

to the gold medal match in the women's hockey. Is there no stopping

Australia? They have made it through to the final. Beating South Africa

7-1. South Africa couldn't keep up with Australia's pace and energy.

Australia scored somel xent goals in the second half. They have scored 32

goals in five games, some excellent. Led by Adam Commons that are coach,

they are heading for the gold medal by the looks of it.

On BBC Three, in just a few mopes time, you will be able to watch New

Zealand taking on England. That is the other semifinal, Australia

waiting in the final then, will it be Danny Kerry's England, can he

lead them to the final? What a final that would be, England against

Australia in the gold medal match. So that is on BBC Three very

shortly, and the reason it is not on yet is because it is a Scotland

versus England bat in the lawn bowls, in the men's pair, and

Scotland lead 14-15 after 11 ends, so basically if you want the women's

hockey, what you need to do is go to the website.

Well, let us go to the SECC now, and in boxing, there could be a real

gold rush of medals for the Home Nations, over the weekend. What we

are going to focus on is the men's bantamweight semifinal line up. It

is box office stuff for the bout between Michael Conlan, he is taking

on the defending champion Sean McGoldrick of Wales. England's Qais

Ashfaq. We start in round two, Conlan ahead

of all three cards. First round to the taller man in

red. Michael Conlan's Northern Ireland, boxing in his second

Commonwealth Games. He lost a controversial round in Delhi to

Jason Maloney. It was ten points apiece and Maloney got the nod

because of his superior work rate. Connor looks -- Conlan looks as if

he is about to pick that up. McGoldrick has that problem of

getting inside the longer reach of the Northern Irish man, the boy from

Belfast, boxer out of the St John Boscoe Club. McGoldrick used to move

his head more. Conlon is working well with his jab. He is

concentrating on bent arm work. He has to quicken his feet up. There is

demonstrating there from Conlon he is prepared the work on the inside

as well. That will give chance there to McGoldrick, but he has to take

the opportunity tons inside. Again another single shot came in from the

Welshman in blue. Conlan, throwing more leather as they say in the pro

game. Good right hand into the ribs by Conlan. Lost in the semifinal of

the Olympics in London a couple of year ago to the eventual gold medal

winner Ramirez, one of those difficult Cuban, midway through the

second. Again, Conlan just slipping that left hand into the ribs of the

Welshman and being first after the break. He is boxing as a southpaw

now, switching back to orthodox, so he is confident, trying to confuse

McGoldrick a bit. McGoldrick, he is confident, trying to confuse

feet are too slow. He is too far out, that is his problem, his

problem is closing that gap down, without getting hit, and that is why

he needs. to work.

There has to be tactic change from both boxers. McGoldrick has to get

on the front foot but Conlan has to box at distance and protect that

eye. Look at McGoldrick, all he is focussing on is the right eye of his

opponent Conlan, who is having trouble seeing out of that eye. That

is main worry. Conlan is boxing well. They will look at it again and

this is not looking good for Michael Conlan, the number two ranked

bantamweight in the world. Ooh. He is shaking his head. He is shaking

his head. It is the blood running into the eye that is the problem. He

wipe as much of it away as possible. He stopped it. It has been stopped!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, from Michael Conlan, can you believe

that? A terrific contest shaping up there, but it might come down to a

technical decision if it was with the head, we will have to wait and

see. If it was with the head it will the head, we will have to wait and

go to the judges' scores. Conlan was certainly leading, but if it was

done with a punch it will be a stodge and McGoldrick will go

through to the final and Conlan will have to settle for bronze. Now was

this the head? I think it was. Definitely was the head. Definitely

was the head. What we said Definitely was the head. Definitely

tournament. You have to be lucky, you have to go through five contests

without receiving a head clash, that is very very difficult indeed. Even

with Conlan's is very very difficult indeed. Even

long range, here they come together, and he is just unfortunate. If they

had head guards on that wouldn't have happened.

Well, Michael Conlan has raised his hand. Heck cobbed it was caused by

the head and therefore they are going to go to the judge -- judges'

scores. Our referee has stopped this contest in round number two, we

therefore go to the judges' score cards, the winner, by unanimous

decision, and through to the final, in the red corner, Michael Conlan.

That is a nasty looking crescent shaped cut above his eye, to have

only 24 hours to work on it. But Michael Conlan has gone through, and

having been disappointed in Delhi four years ago, he will be

disappointed with the outcome that in terms of what it meant to him.

Michael Conlan is the first Northern Irish boxer through to the finals

here in Glasgow 2014. A bit of controversy about it, there is no

question he was the wetter boxer all the way through, and Michael Conlan

knows he is badly cut and he knows a lot of skill is going to be

required. And Shaun McGoldrick who got to the final four yearses ago

and was given the gold medal will have to settle for bronze. What an

end to the contest, none sat factory you could say but Michael Conlan has

-- unsatisfactory you could say. Michael was taken away for treatment

due to that bad cut. You will notice the women fighters will still wear

head-guard in this Commonwealth Games whereas the men don't. The

boxing authority say male fighters are more likely to suffer concussion

if they wear protection, a consequence, we have seen a bit of

blood in the ring, unlike as recent Commonwealths, so to the men's

flyweight. In the first of two semifinals, Waseem of Pakistan beat

Omar. We join the second one, mechanic fan -- McFadden versus

Moloney. So moving to the third and final

round. 52 kilogram flyweight semifinal action. McFadden wearing

red. Looking to book his place in the final, he has talked of being a

man of destiny. He has used the crowd and the atmosphere in and the

energy throughout the course of this tournament. But this is a hugely

tactical and cagey encounter against the man in blue from Australia.

Everything to compete for. The prize of cause is a gold or silver medal.

Minute gone in this third and final round and the cagey pattern

continues. The referee warned him for being low. McFadden onto the

front foot. Lovely shot from McFadden. Here is where the crowd

can play a part. Beyond the halfway stage. McFadden has landed perhaps

the more eye-catching shots. Body shot success from McFadden. Very

often the boxer who leads is often the one who gets caught with the

shots. This is where he has got to go to work on the inside now. The

final 30 seconds will be crucial. His opponent steps away now and

again with a low left hand. McFadden took a quick glance to his corner.

It is going to be furious finish. Back to the ropes. Setting a trap

for Maloney again. Comes forward. McFadden feels he has done enough.

Going into the third and final round it was tied. One judge had it in

favour of McFadden. Just looking to see if there is a slight cut on his

eye. I think this might be split. Just did the better work for me. It

was nothing in it. Very close. Maloney still did not want to commit

but that made McFadden come forward. Maybe one or two getting through.

Very close indeed. I just think McFadden has got the nod. We have a

split decision. In favour of the winner, now through to the final, in

the blue corner Andrew Moloney. Andrew Moloney jumps the joy. Just

booked his place in the gold-medal bout. The fairy tale run of Reece

McFadden comes to an end at the semifinal stage but the 19-year-old

from Motherwell acknowledges the crowd because he has illuminated

this tournament with his skill, tenacity and comes away with a

Commonwealth Games bronze medal. Just 19 years of age and most

certainly a name we will see in huge international tournaments

representing Scotland and Great Britain. From Belarus... I promised

at the start we had some wonderful boxing from the SEC see. It has

proved and it looks like we will have a gold rush of medals for the

home nations. We will go back to the Hydro and Kristian Thomas and see

him getting his silver medal. Well done to Kristian Thomas. England's

only representative, led the way in qualifying and had a great chance to

win his first individual Commonwealth Games medal. Canada's

Scott Morgan winning the gold. He won silver on the floor and gold on

the rings. Many congratulations to Kristian Thomas. Canada have now won

their 28th gold medal. There are the three medal winners.

Scott Morgan, Kristian Thomas There are the three medal winners.

right. Just incredible. It all goes well for the future. They have

organised themselves in Singapore. Rewards of a bronze medal will see

them in good stead. We are awaiting the arrival of the gymnasts for the

beam final. We have got two English gymnasts and two Welsh gymnasts

going in that particular final. Home nations doing incredibly well. There

could be a chance of another Welsh medal. Christine, your gymnasts,

Georgina Hockenhull. What a work have you been doing? The beam is her

best piece and we are delighted she has made the final. Realistically

there are perhaps three or four others with higher starter scores.

Sometimes she can get a little bit nervous? She can, she worked first

in the individual all-round. Rebecca Downie, Lauren Mitchell and Claudia

Fragapane aim have the big difficulty value. It is a piece of

apparatus you can never call. It is a story of who stays on? And also

who stays on without wobbles. Quite often to get your star value you

have two link two elements. If often to get your star value you

first one does not go well, you don't do the second. Here are the

Georgina Hockenhull from Wales and the last one to go in this final. We

watched Rebecca warming up this morning and she was looking sharp.

She is beautiful on the beam. I think if she goes without major

error she will probably is the first gymnast post is scored the others

will struggle to beat. But she is coming into the arena, you don't

warm up in the arena. Rebecca being introduced to the Hydro arena.

Maryanne Munton, the Australian beam champion. She has just watched her

compatriot take gold. Georgina Hockenhull for Wales. Ellie Black,

who has already had a silver medal in vault. Ellie Black has the most

difficult routine. If she hits everything she has the highest

difficulty score. But it is difficult and she cannot always hit

it. I think it will suit their keep being first appear, Chris? Yes, I

do. She has a plan in her mind, she just walked straight into this arena

here and we'll just go for it. Of course, she won the gold medal on

the bars yesterday. Commonwealth champion, European champion on the

bars, so she should be feeling the positive vibe. First gymnast to go

in the women's beam final. Rebecca Downie for England. Steadies her

nerve. Slow, quiet start. Just splits. She has a wonderful range of

movement. Has to focus hard on this first summer self. She didn't get

both feet on. She made the same error in qualification but got back

on and did so well and still made the final. This is a very difficult

combination. And off again. That is the trouble is, once you allow

yourself to be unsettled. It is pressure, we watched her go through

those combinations this morning. She is very skilful and very

experienced. Now she is allowing herself to be completely rattled. It

is an nerve wracking situation. You come into this cool drink, 13,000

people watching just you. Also when you have such expectation of

yourself as well, Chris? When she settles into a rhythm, she will be

better. Back spin, free walkover. Straight into a very good jump. Side

somersault. All her elements are very well performed. Second change

leg lead. -- leap. Just the dismount. Straight, back somersault.

She knows the damage was done, no point in risking injury to her sort

ankle. Now it is open. Huge disappointment for Rebecca Downie.

She knew she would lead the gymnasts to beat if she hit. That is her

Commonwealth Games over. It is, but she takes home two gold medals. She

will be sorry she did not manage that, but the peas she really

wanted, the bars she made that. Never really got hold of things

afterwards. It is a difficult combination. It does get a lot of

marks, the free cartwheel. And then you land immediately into a

somersault. That is your two flighted moves that need to be

joined. I thought she looked in line but she was a slow recovering in the

shoulders. It is always tricky, especially when one leg is held up

in the splits. She decided not to risk the double pike back off the

beam. Just floated the straight somersault down, but this will be

quite a low score. As far as home nation hope
