especially when one leg is held up in the splits. She decided not to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
risk the double pike back off the beam. Just floated the straight | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
somersault down, but this will be quite a low score. As far as home | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
nation hope continues, we have Claudia Fragapane aim and Elizabeth | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
eddo from Wales. Georgina Hockenhull from Wales, still to come here. She | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
would have been so focused coming in here. Rebecca Downie with a score of | :00:38. | :00:51. | |
nine point 833 but she leaves Glasgow with a gold medal on the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
bars and gold in the team final and the belly valued member of the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
England team. -- and a very valued member. Lauren Mitchell for | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
Australia knows the door is open. Lovely original mount. Sharply into | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
the front somersault. Commonwealth champion on the beam four years ago. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Very experienced. One flip, two flip... It was just too low to be | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
able to hold. these Championship but that | :01:31. | :01:45. | |
somersault was quite low. Very nice rhythm. This is a move she | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
has made her own. Very difficult spin beautiful poise. Very difficult | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
and she performed it so well. Free walk over. And leap series, the | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
change leg and calf. Gymnasts have to include some sideways movement. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Nice and dramatic. Now big focus here for dismount. She | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
struggled a bit in qualification. One flip, two flip, needs go high. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Double tuck, that was better. It was a deep landing but she held it. It | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
is all happening here in this beam final! We did say those who stay on | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
could medal, and that could well be the story here. Well, to be honest, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
there was a very ambitious accuse row series and as Chris said, she | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
was low. On that salto. -- acroseries. Knees buckled. No a | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
chaps to straighten that one hundred up. What a pity. Her arms are | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
usually straight in her flips and she is fast. But she did so well. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Mitch. She did. This is very impressive. I would call it a | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Cossack, is that right? Yes it is a Cossack turn, but I suspect in the | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
code of points this double is named after her as the first gymnast, when | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
a gymnast performs it for the first time, if it has ever been done it | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
has to be submitted to the judging Pam. The people in charge of the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
judging -- panel and they will tell you what they are going toye/Ward | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
it. O going to award it. -- going to award it. In a quiet | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
moment you want to try a sipping system Cossack turn, just on the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
carpet. I tell you what it is hard. There is not much room in here, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Mitch. It is hard to keep that leg up. | :03:58. | :04:15. | |
So the two very experienced favourites really, well probably | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
three favour, Ellie black have both had an error. Robin judging. One of | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
the top British judges. I bet at this stage, Rebecca is | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
wishing she did a more complicated dismount. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Hopefully, there wouldn't have been any chance of her achieving a medal | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
with three falls. Think that is one of the problems with the code and | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
they try to address it. It is not just a question of difficulty, it is | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
not good for the sport if you can fall and get a medal. 13 scored for | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Lauren Mitchell. She was the second highest qualifiers. But Chris, your | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
gymnast Georgina Hockenhull scored 13.733 in qualification. | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
Marry Anne Monckton from Australia. The Australia beam champion. -- | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Mary-Ann. And very interesting forward roll mount. All these | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
gymnasts can see the door whited open. They will want do their best. | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
Very smooth cartwheel lay out somersault. Very good control on the | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
spin, with the leg held high. Smooth. The two leaps that are | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
catching a lot of gymnasts out. But she held her nerve, just a little | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
wobble. And another one on the free walk | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
over, which surprises me. She jumped. Head back moves fluently | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
back along the beam. Ooh, how well did she do there, her | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
foot was right off on the change leg ring. A pause after before the side | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
somersault. Another wobble, which she is fighting all the way. | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
Really given a gritty performance here. It's a gritty dismount. Here | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
we go, double pike, she does a very good dismount. She fought her way | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
through that, she was staying on if it was the last thing she did. Let | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
me tell you, all the spectators here, in the arena, are with the | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
gymnast, with every single move, and they gasp, they gasp with every tiny | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
wobble. She did a great job, that was determination, very light in | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
this combination. Very light. And really well done, she was a bit off | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
line, there wasn't she? Very determined gymnast. -- She wasn't | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
going to part company with that beam. This a very impressive | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
dismount. Nice and high, the chest is up. The | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
double pike. Lovely timing. Which is why she was able to control the | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
landing. She gets her shoulders up P A bit | :07:46. | :08:01. | |
slow to get the shoulders up but a great way to finish. There has been | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
a Saiki start to the beam final. The score to beat is 13. Two Australians | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
in this final. It is quite an, a difficult format. She goes ahead of | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
team-mate Lauren Mitchell and scores 13.666. That score is certainly | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
beatable It It a big store, the six start is impressive. | :08:26. | :08:39. | |
Nisha Patel-Nasri -- Onyshko. She she would tie for gold if she was to | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
score the same again here. This is a good opener, the lay out. | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
Oh, the lay out somersault, it is becoming catching, isn't it. Only | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
one gymnast so far has managed to stay for the whole routine! | :08:58. | :09:09. | |
Smooth free walk over. Links the two jump nicely. And that is a difficult | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
jump. The full turn. The gym Nas have to include difficult jumps as | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
well as acro bah sick stills. -- acrobatic skills She chose to | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
lift the leg high, which is extra marks. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
That leap with the head back. Steadies the free cartwheel. These | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
gymnasts have all these marks up, to get their difficulty, she, she has | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
been impressive, but that series of the changed leg leap into the | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
standing lay out, she paused between them. But this dismount risky and | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
secure, worth a lot, one flip, two flip, up into the double tuck. Very | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
well done, the dismount, they are doing well. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
It seems to be case for some of them, as soon as they get that | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
wobble out of the way they go through their routine. It islike | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
like they are waiting for that first moment, that first shaky... Well | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
they do so many routine, they do lots and lots of beam routine, to | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
stick, some days they will go in the gym and have to do a routine with no | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
warm up, my word she was miles off wasn't she. She did well to give any | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
sort of result from that. Left foot was off the beam. Just that littles | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
he's take, I thought that was quite a good performance, once she had the | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
fall, she settled down a little bit. But I was saying this is quite | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
difficult. There is no warm up in here for the gymnast, they have had | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
to have been warming up in the back gym and come in and perform cold, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
and not many of these gymnast also have dope that before. It is only -- | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
done that before, only Lauren and Becky will have done, the more | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
experienced gymnasts will have done. Very positive in the dismount. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
Obviously, a good beam worker normally. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Yes. Lauren Mitchell has put in an inquiry. She has got a score of 13 | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
at the moment. Not sure what that will be on. Difficulty. That is the | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
only thing they, if they don't agree. If they thought she was | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
probably expecting to get a six difficulty, she only got 5.9. She | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
will want to know what they haven't counted, what they haven't given. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
Onyshko for now is in third place with a score of 12.666. The next | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
gymnast there in this beam final, Claudia Fragapane, she has taken | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
gold in every final that she has been in so far. How will she contend | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
with the tension in this battle the beam. Well, in the all round | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
competition she had a little attack of the nerves and fell. But I am | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
sure she has learned from that. Links the two jumps well. And the | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
turning jump. The full turn. She locks full of determination. This is | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
acrobatic veries she came to grief on before. Smooth today. She just | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
het Taited a bit. She looks smooth but learned from yesterday. "I am | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
not coming off twice." Free walk over. The jump takes the head back, | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
that is what the judges have to decide. Did she touch the head. That | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
is what will affect the start value. But now, the super difficult skill. | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
The tuck back with full twist. Just watch. Feet down, really strong. | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
Tension in the middle. That is how you keep yourself on the beam, keep | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
the muscles tight in the middle of your body. Free cartwheel, just the | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
little bit of hesitation. Now we have seen her perform this dismount | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
really well this series of competition, one flip, two flip, | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
double pike. Really welling well done Claudia. Claudia Fragapane, she | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
stays on. She manages to execute all of the difficulty, there is dad! Mum | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
and dad there. She did really well. What a lot she has learned through | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
this Championships. Two days ago she didn't manage to put the nevers as | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
bay. Today she showed what she is going to be. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
She did fight. She really did fight. -- nevers at bay. | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
So crucial and Christine, you thought this was safe. Look at the | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
way she gathered. Got the centre of gravity back over her feet. She was | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
not going to part company. This, incredible stuff. | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
Little tiny gymnast, very fast with her movements. Full twisting back | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
somersault is really quite incredible to achieve. We have to | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
remind everybody this is her first year in senior competition, how she | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
has managed to cope with that, she has obviously watched all the | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
gymnasts go before, and look at the reaction, mum can't look! This the | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
big dismount. She hasn't -- hadn't competed this dismount, not in major | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
competition, she look like she has done it all her life. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
And that is not a very long life at 16. | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
What a future she has got. First up, first up on their feet. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
And I am sure they think what we are, another gold, in the gym bag. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Well, I think it will be the top score so far and everyone else has | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
to do better to beat him. I think she's just seen the pictures of | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
to do better to beat him. I think she's just seen the pictures her mum | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
and dad there. Nice to see Rebecca Downie passing | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
on her congratulationses too. Well, there you are Lauren Mitchell's | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
inquiry has been rejected. That difficulty score, so you will | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
have to settle with a score of 13. Lauren Mitchell in second place. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Monckton leads this competition with a score of 13.666. Will Claudia | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
Fragapane beat it? She will not. Well. A score of 13.133. Surprise | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
Chris. It was wobbly, that start value was well done, she posted 5.7 | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
in qualification. The next gymnast from Wales Elizabeth Beddoe, 19 | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
yeergz old. -- years old | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Smoothly through the two leaps. Layout somersault, good strong | :16:32. | :17:04. | |
tension on landing. Well, she's focussed so far. | :17:05. | :17:49. | |
Well done Lizzie, that really was a smooth performance. Very smooth. | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
Hey, listen, the medals at the moment, 13 is the score. Could get | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
close. She could. She could, indeed. National coach for Wales | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
congratulates her. That was as good a performance as she could give. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
That's what you ask from your Clean and gymnasts. In control. She | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
squared up, hip and shoulder, to make sure of the landing there. | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
There was a touch of elegance, more than just a touch, I think. Yeah, | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
she's a very elegant gymnast, stylish. A different style to some | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
of the others, she hasn't got the huge power of some of them. A | :18:42. | :18:51. | |
gymnast with a very nice touch. Very confident, set, into the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
one-and-a-half twists. Stretching hard through the hips and toes. Well | :18:56. | :19:08. | |
done Lizzie Beddoe. Not such a difficult dismount than some, just a | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
C. That affects her difficulty score a little. Better to be secure. | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
Just a reminder, a score of 13 needed to get up into the top three. | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
An anxious wait. An anxious wait for Georgina Hockenhull. Hopefully | :19:35. | :19:47. | |
Elizabeth Beddoe will have settled the beam down for Georgina. 13. 366, | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Elizabeth Beddoe from Wales goes into second position. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
Two gymnasts are left to go. Classic example there if you do what | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
you do, do it well, don't worry about the difficulty, it pays off. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Georgina Hockenhull, 17 years old. The penultimate gymnast in the beam | :20:12. | :20:12. | |
final. Wow, Georgia! Fantastic performance. | :20:13. | :21:33. | |
Whatever the score is, that was a great performance. Well, Wales are | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
guaranteed a medal in this women's beam final, because Elizabeth Beddoe | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
is in second place at the moment. There are her coaches congratulating | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
her. One of her coaches, the other one is sitting next to me. I don't | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
know whose heart is beating harder, mine probably! Chris, you must be | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
delighted and so proud of her. That was such a classy performance. She | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
is classy on beam. You know, she's never worked in this format before, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
never come out to the big arena with no warm-up. I just wasn't sure quite | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
how it would affect her. Shh... She was light -- She was light, elegant, | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
in control - I'll say it for you - she really was, on top of this | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
performance, and lovely to see. It Tyny adjustment there -- tiny | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
adjustment there, but she looks so good on this apparatus. Hasn't got | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
the hugest start value as some of the gymnasts, but the dismount was | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
good. Very good work. Wouldn't it be great, hey? Superb. Well they know | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
what they want to happen. So, she needs 13. 133 to knock Fragapane out | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
of the medals at this stage. However, we've still got a very | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
experienced gymnast to come. She's gone into second! Georgina | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Hockenhull currently in Silver Medal position. That means a medal, | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
doesn't it? Definitely. Brilliant stuff. | :23:19. | :23:30. | |
Ellie Black rounds off the women's beam final. She has got the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
difficulty and potentially the execution. She has indeed. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
Difficulty score of 6. 4 in qualification. | :23:39. | :24:07. | |
She fought tlard because she was a little underrotated. | :24:08. | :24:59. | |
That was a very difficult, well performed She didn't routine. Have | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
much fun in the women's all-around competition. She took silver on | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
vault yesterday. Surely, surely she's medaled here in the women's | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
beam final. Very, very determined. Very determined performance. Two | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
days in a row, she fell from beam. And third time she was determined | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
not to let that happen. But, Christine, congratulations, because | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
Georgina Hockenhull guaranteed a medal Thank you very much. I'm | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
delighted. So you should be. She's prrched well in this -- performed | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
well in this company. This is very impressive. | :25:49. | :26:00. | |
Solid on the acro. Just for good measure, she puts in a full turn. | :26:01. | :26:21. | |
That is very, very impressive work. Two-and-a-half twists to wrap up a | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
competent and classy performance. Mary Anne Monckton leads this final | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
with a score of 13. 666. That is the score to beat. I'd be very surprise | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
today she can't -- surprised if she can't beat that. Though the judgeds | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
have been -- judges have been quite tight this competition. | :26:51. | :27:01. | |
Anxious wait for Mary Anne Monckton. Surely she's done enough? Mind you, | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
you would have thought that Claudia Fragapane had done enough to medal, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
she's now in fourth. She must have not counted her leap series, the | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
first two leaps she did, there was the slightest hesitation. If you | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
don't get that counted, it's 0. 5 up, that's the different between 5. | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
2 and 5. 7. Ellie Black, look at that! She's the Commonwealth beam | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
champion with Mary Anne Monckton in silver. But Wales' Georgina | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
Hockenhull takes bronze in the beam final. | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
Well, what a score indeed. But there is the bronze medallist from Wales. | :27:52. | :28:06. | |
All those hours in the gym, the pair of you have put in, they've paid | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
off. Absolutely. And she's had problems on beam with confidence, | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
but once she found the key to herself really she's very skilful. | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
She's a very consistent gymnast. She always does it the same every time, | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
which is the key to being good on beam. Anybody that just watched that | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
performance, wouldn't have thought she had any problems with | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
confidence, to come out into an arena like this, with all eyes on | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
her and produce and perform in the way she did. There is Ellie Black, | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
the winner. Becky Downie finishes eighth. Georgina Hockenhull, from | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
Wales, another bronze medal for Wales. | :28:53. | :29:02. | |
Come on, Chris, talk us through this. I think this is the free | :29:03. | :29:10. | |
walkover. She does it really well. She can see the beam, for a long | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
time, leans the head back, the legs are dead straight, as the foot goes | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
down she is able to make the jump. That led her to a bronze medal. Mary | :29:20. | :29:30. | |
Anne Monckton. Beautiful dismount takes her into silver. There is your | :29:31. | :29:42. | |
Commonwealth champion on beam, Ellie Black. | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
STUDIO: What a great performance. Wales have another bronze medal, | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
Georgina Hockenhull, many congratulations. I will update you | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
at what's happening in the other semifinal. Australia had made it | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
through to the final by beating South Africa by 7-1. England looking | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
to book a place in the final. Currently 0-0 against new zeal. | :30:06. | :30:10. | |
Watch that match on BBC Three. That's all from me on BBC One. It is | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
now time for Hazel irvain. -- irvin, congratulations to Lizzie Beddoe, | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
she was so excited about the Games and she put in a wrchl performance. | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
Fantastic for Wales again, two bronze medals and you leave the | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
studio a happy man. I do, indeed. There's been much to smile about for | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
the home nations, it's been raining Gold Medals for Scotland and for | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
England. We've been dusting down the record books this afternoon in | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
anticipation of more, perhaps. Due know that the most -- did you know | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
that the most decorated English athlete any time in a sing am Games | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
has won four gold medals. It's happened three times. Max Whitlock | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
and Claudia Fragapane have a chance to equal that today. There could be | :30:58. | :31:07. | |
more gold acoming. Max has won more final remaining in the means | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
parallel bars and so does little Miss Dynamo, Claudia has the floor | :31:13. | :31:16. | |
and she is the top qualifier in that. | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
Amazingly 250 home nation's boxers are guaranteed medals in the ring, | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
that I could upgrade that to silver, in all 13 weight divisions and we | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
meet the man who sparked a one man sporting revolution in a tiny | :31:33. | :31:39. | |
nation. So we have a lot to enjoy. We will keep a close eye on vents in | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
the Hydro, but we are keeping tabs on the proproof the boxers in the | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
SECC this afternoon. The numbers are bewildering, when you look at this. | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
There is one home nation's fighter and sometimes up to three in all of | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
the semifinals. Going in all of the 13 weight divisions today. I made a | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
tally of it. Nine for Northern Ireland. Seven from England. Five | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
from Wales, and four Scots. It is going well. I think that will be the | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
understatement of cafe day. We will catch up with a MEP's light | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
welterweight division. It is the first of the semifinals. It is an | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
England-Scotland affair. We have Sam Maxwell, the 25-year-old from | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
Liverpool. He takes on, someone he knows rather well. Josh Taylor, the | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
20-year-old from Preston Pans in East Lothian. It was Josh who pipped | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
Sam for the place at the London Olympics two years ago. Josh's | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
nickname is Pebbles, just to remind him he is not Rocky yet. Something | :32:43. | :32:44. | |
has to give here. The man voted best official in | :32:45. | :32:57. | |
London 2012 a couple of years ago Mickey Gallagher brings together a | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
Scotsman and an Englishman, that itself really is something to | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
savour. It is hard to tell which of these two boxers has been the better | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
all the way through, this would have made a wonderful final. It is the | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
third time for both of them. And the man in blue, Josh Taylor, silver | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
medallist four years ago in the lower division and Olympian a couple | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
of years ago. Has won all his three contest, likewise Sam Maxwell the | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
25-year-old from Liverpool. Won all three, first by stoppage, next to | :33:32. | :33:38. | |
unanimous decision all victories have been unanimous decision to The | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
Scotsman. Interesting contrast in style, The Scotsman Josh Taylor, | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
maybe the taller of the two. The southpaw style and Maxwell has boxed | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
wonderfully well to get to this, but this is a big step up for Maxwell. | :33:50. | :33:56. | |
It is, someone asked me about this contest and I described it as a bout | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
like physical chess. It will be. They know each other inside out. | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
They spar each other every day at Team GB in Sheffield. It literally | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
is whoever makes the wrong moves here, will get punished. That is | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
somehow close it is. There is nothing in the spar, in Sheffield, | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
they are very very evenly matched. And it is who can make you the one | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
to make mistake, go back and punish him. It is going to be very close | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
throughout this. Josh Taylor lost four years ago in | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
the 52 kg final. I should say 60 kg final in deli -- Delhi to Thomas | :34:37. | :34:43. | |
Stoker. He won't want to make the same mistake. This is a cagey | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
contest. Maxwell is not a particularly flamboyant boxer. | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
Taylor has produced solid punches to put his opponent on the floor and | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
hasn't had the chance do that here. Good footwork by the Scot. | :34:59. | :35:06. | |
Think Maxwell started this contest better ethough, Jim. Pushing Taylor | :35:07. | :35:12. | |
back. Taylor produces a shot like that. | :35:13. | :35:19. | |
Like I said, it is anyones. Maxwell comes straight back, as if to say | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
"OK, you caught me, have some of this." Maxwell tornado to be a | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
straighter puncher but Taylor has the power and has a great right | :35:30. | :35:36. | |
hook. He is delivering that shot. Is it a plus or minus knowing each | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
other so well, having worked together for the goodbye squad? | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
Think it is -- GB squad. It is both to be honest. That is not an answer. | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
It is, though, yeah. What a good opening round, nobody | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
really wanted to be guilty of making an error to allow the opponent any | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
chance of an opening. Sam Maxwell will be pleased about that. Taylor | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
eventually decides to sit down. Not a lot in the round. I thought | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
Maxwell started the round better, with that right hand. Held centre | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
very well. There is that right hook, though. That I spoke about. From | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
Taylor. A lot of power in that shot. Nothing in it at all. Maxwell will | :36:22. | :36:28. | |
look to land mid-long range straight shots and Taylor on the inside. | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
Let's have a look. 2-1 to Taylor. Very close. Could have been the | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
other way It was either way. I have a feeling this will go to the | :36:38. | :36:40. | |
wire. Josh Taylor the southpaw from | :36:41. | :37:06. | |
Scotland in blue in this 64 kg lightweight. | :37:07. | :37:18. | |
There was nothing wrong with that left hand. Was the most stiff can't | :37:19. | :37:26. | |
punch of the contest so far. To remind Sam Maxwell how dangerous he | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
is. Maxwell a bit quicker with that shot, that right hand and Taylor | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
having to work signed. Did he hurt Taylor with that? . The problem is | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
with Maxwell he has lovely straight hands, and, he hit the target but | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
holds his feet now and again, he is not then blocking what is coming | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
back from Taylor. Good strike work from Maxwell but holds his feet | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
fractionally too long. That allowed Taylor to come back with that left | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
hand over the top. Taylor got him about 15 seconds ago with a very | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
good obvious left hand. Taylor just moving away, inviting Maxwell to | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
come forward. A bit of work on the second round by The Scotsman, must | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
have known it was close, at the end of the enoing three minute, Maxwell | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
has a wee bit to do. He has to pick up the pace an he is coming forward. | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
That might suit the counter punching southpaw from Scotland. With Maxwell | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
trying to land that right hand. He drops his left coming forward. That | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
is the problem, that is why he is walking on to the right. Watch, his | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
left hand comes low, if he leans forward. Look how low that left | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
happened is. That is why he gets caught with the right hook because | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
he is leaning forward after he has landed that right. A much, much | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
livelier round this first and the second. Taylor slipped to the | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
orthodox stance, now he is back to the more familiar southpaw, trying | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
to bamboozle his man. God footwork by the Scot. Taylor not getting a | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
glove on him. Maxwell locking to box on the counter. He has to watch he | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
doesn't walk on the a right hook, trying to land that right hand, | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
there it is there, got to watch that right hook counter from his | :39:09. | :39:15. | |
opponent. Clever by Josh Taylor in blue. | :39:16. | :39:23. | |
A least a third of this round and Sam Maxwell comes storming back at | :39:24. | :39:32. | |
him. Taylor the favourite to take gold in | :39:33. | :39:34. | |
this division by some distance. Maxwell making the mistake of | :39:35. | :39:47. | |
dropping his hands. His guard is a bit leaky at close quarters. | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
Two of the three judges gave it to Taylor at the end of the first. I | :39:53. | :40:02. | |
think all three will say it o -- see it The Scotsman way. It was a lot | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
more intensity, a lot more commitment The eye-catching shots | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
probably come from Taylor. Just gets caught there. Plenty of volume from | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
Maxwell, but it is just on the signed, when he is in close quarter, | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
his guard is a bit low. That allowed Taylor to come back, but good | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
sustained pressure from Maxwell. That wasn't too bad. Let us lock. | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
They have gone for Taylor. All three have given to Josh Taylor, so the | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
Scot very much in driving seat, in front of us there. His home crowd. | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
Not quite his home crowd. He was born in Edinburgh, lives in Preston | :40:41. | :40:43. | |
Pans. To get to his first Commonwealth | :40:44. | :41:00. | |
Games boxing final at the age of 21. The Englishman is going to have to | :41:01. | :41:02. | |
produce the three minutes of his career so far, he is trailing on the | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
judges' cards to the favour flit this decision the Olympian for two | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
years ago, albeit at a lighter weight, Josh Taylor who in the | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
second round picked up the pace an used his style, just to ease ahead, | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
Maxwell, I think, is going to give them everything, as you would | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
expect. They know each other so well. You can they is is a plus, you | :41:26. | :41:32. | |
can say it is a minus. Here comes Maxwelling locking for | :41:33. | :41:35. | |
the big right hand. As Richie said in the second round when he throws | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
that right, he dropped his left an he has got caught. Mickey Gallagher | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
telling both of them to behave themselves, don't hit round the back | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
of the head. Maxwell has to go on the front foot | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
now. He will to he is behind. So he is going for it. | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
That is a good right hand. What a great shot. And Taylor's gloves | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
which art part and Maxwell got in. Travelled about seven or eight | :42:04. | :42:05. | |
inches and caught the Scots map flush. Can Maxwell do more of | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
that?tive already, gets himself off the rope r there is is a bit of | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
grappling going on there, the referee lets them get on with it. | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
This is a better round from Maxwell. He is on the front foot. He looks | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
some lit and he has caught Taylor again on the chin and Taylor is not | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
looking all that assured when he has been pushed backward. I can't | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
believe he is tiring, these fellas are fit as racing snakes. | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
We need to see more work from Taylor, Maxwell, this is a better | :42:41. | :42:47. | |
round. Can Taylor respond? Reich tactics from Maxwell -- like tactics | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
from Maxwell. On that front foot. Going forward. Heads clashed there. | :42:52. | :42:57. | |
That is nasty. Now Josh Taylor needs a very big last 50 seconds or so, | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
just to secure this victory, that was a good short right hand. Maxwell | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
delayed a bit. Taylor got him with a left again, so that flurry of | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
Maxwell's may just have eased him ahead but Taylor is determined not | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
to concede this last round. This is the crucial round. Coming into that | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
crucial period. Good right hand from the Englishman, comes storming | :43:19. | :43:21. | |
forward. Maxwell gets him again, this time with a left. Taylor | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
holding. Maxwell holding on the blind side of the referee. Mickey | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
Gallagher lets them get on with it again. Is there one more telling | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
punch here? Up to now you would say Maxwell for me has won this last | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
round, Jim on that front foot. We have only seen a few accident shots | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
from Taylor. That was a better one from him. He knows that may have | :43:43. | :43:45. | |
been the clincher, we will have to see how the throw judges see it, | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
another little short right happened from the Scot. And he finishes in | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
his own corner and Taylor holds up his hands and he gives him a hug. | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
They are great buddy, they train together, spar together, they knock | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
seven bells out of each other. Maxwell shakes his head. Josh taste | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
Thor the English corner and they both say thank do you Irish referee. | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
What a contest, what a last round. Maxwell had his moments, thought he | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
was nicking it. Taylor came back, that could be a very close last | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
round. It was indeed. May have gone two to one. I thought Maxwell had | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
the better of this round. Last 30, 40 second, Taylor turned on a bit, | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
and that helped his cause there. Bringing Maxwell top a lovely shot. | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
He thinks he has got it. The winner by unanimous decision and | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
through the final, in the blue corner. Taylor has got it. Taylor | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
has got it. She ecstatic about that. He was put under fierce pressure in | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
that last round and two of the judges gave it to the Englishman, | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
one gave it to Taylor, but they decisive round was the second round | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
when Taylor won it across the board. The saltires fly. | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
They do indeed. Josh tailor who won a silver in Delhi has a chance to | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
upgrade tomorrow. He will be finding Jonas of Namibia. If you want to | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
soak up the punches all day, you can, because all the boxing | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
semifinals are on the Red Button, all day as long as you can take it. | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
We are heading over to the hydro because this is the fifth and final | :45:29. | :45:34. | |
day of the artistic gymnastic, there has been dizzying success for the | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
Home Nations, in fact Scotland and England have claimed eight of the 11 | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
titles so far. Next up, is one of the most technical events of them | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
all. It's the men's parallel bar, they are walking out. So let us join | :45:48. | :45:57. | |
Matt and Beth. There is Frank Baines banes. He's settled down in the | :45:58. | :46:08. | |
second vault. He's got the three finals today, he's got the nerves | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
out of the way. He can focus. There's two Scottish gymnasts and | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
two English gymnasts here. We can't discount Dan Purvis. He has the | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
highest difficulty score and that has been key. It has. With | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
difficulty comes the risk, but Daniel is use d to performing at | :46:27. | :46:34. | |
major championships. Max Whitlock, as I'm sure you recognise him now, | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
one of the gymnasts that has been on the rostrum more than most, three | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
golds and a silver to his name. He's about to be introduced here in the | :46:44. | :46:51. | |
Hydro. He likes to get his preparation absolutely right. There | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
he is. Looking relieved, I think today. He was a little bit tired | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
yesterday. This is the last day of competition. As it is for Niall | :47:00. | :47:12. | |
Wilson. Zachary Clay. Luke Wadsworth from Australia, quite impressive in | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
the all-around competition. Frank Baines looking to make a mark in | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
this parallel bars final. This lad got a silver on rings yesterday | :47:23. | :47:31. | |
Kevin Lytwyn. Tsukahara will be next to be introduced. And rounding | :47:32. | :47:39. | |
things off here in the Hydro, the man who took bronze on rings | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
yesterday, what can he do here? So, it's going to be a real fight, this | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
one, Beth? It is. I think it's one of those finals and it's open to | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
anyone. Frank has a great technical routine. He was the highest | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
qualifier. He was. But he's had a slow competition. So, hopefully, | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
fingers crossed he can pull it out on this one. He was junior European | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
champion a couple of years. He aI major injury last year. Absolutely | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
obsessed on the execution side of things. That's what was his problem | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
on the first vault Here, it really relies on the long body swing, which | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
he's got. Beautiful flow. He has excellent execution and he's a | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
classy gymnast to watch. The first guy up, I think we all know his | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
name, without even mentioning it now. His execution is perfect. It's | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
fair to say, they don't come much classier than Max Whitlock. He said | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
in his chat with Ore yesterday he was feeling it a little bit. | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
Obviously, they've had a lot to cope with with the schedule. It's been a | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
tough schedule. For the likes of Max, he's done every single day. | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
Even now, just an arm bend or slight leg bend that is the difference | :48:56. | :48:58. | |
between the Gold Medal and not picking up a medal. Today, it's | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
almost like, after today we're finished. Give it your all. No doubt | :49:05. | :49:11. | |
he will. This is his last final. The first gymnast to go, of the top | :49:12. | :49:18. | |
eight qualifiers is Max Whitlock. Three golds and a silver to his name | :49:19. | :49:25. | |
here at these Commonwealth Games. Now back to Mitch and Christine. | :49:26. | :50:01. | |
Oh, just a little jump back, but Max Whitlock, very, very, very fine bid | :50:02. | :50:35. | |
there for yesterday another medal. What a Gauntlettlet to have laid | :50:36. | :50:42. | |
down from Max Whitlock. Follow that if you can, gents! Most of these | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
gymnasts have a similar start value. Only Dan Purvis with the high start | :50:48. | :50:51. | |
value. It's going to be down to execution. Who performs the most | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
faultlessly. And really, he hasn't given very much away here. No, | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
lovely technique. Very sure and confident performance. This was | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
lovely, look how high the hips were in the front uprise. Plenty of | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
clearance in the straddle one and a quarter. Lovely eek neeck. -- | :51:13. | :51:19. | |
technique. Good extension. I think having watched Max here, he has | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
improved his amplitude in his work a lot. His execution scores rim | :51:25. | :51:32. | |
proving. He's always had lots of -- Scores are improving. Sometimes it's | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
been a bit untidy. He's still not got the greatest extension through | :51:37. | :51:39. | |
his feet, but he's picked up a lot there. | :51:40. | :51:49. | |
8. 966 for execution! That is a big score to beat. | :51:50. | :51:56. | |
A score ever 15, would get you into a world finals, that shows the class | :51:57. | :51:57. | |
of that performance. The Yorkshireman is chalked up and | :51:58. | :52:25. | |
ready to go. Niall Wilson -- Nile Wilson, junior | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
European champion. The technique they acquire and is insisted upon in | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
the junior ranks, stands them in good stead for senior. Look at that | :52:36. | :52:44. | |
. With that stuck dismount, I think he | :52:45. | :53:19. | |
might just have done it! Chris said earlier, it's about difficulty, but | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
really execution will decide What a it. Display of parallel bar work we | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
are being treated to here! It doesn't come much better than this. | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
Absolutely superb. He's a star. He's loved these championships Nile. He's | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
a real find. You never sure how juniors will make the next step and | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
he's really shown he can make it. The older lads will be looking over | :53:48. | :53:49. | |
their shoulder. That was brilliant. To work to one rail so clean and | :53:50. | :54:01. | |
show it under control. That is a brilliant skill. | :54:02. | :54:07. | |
Look at that! Keeps the shoulders down until the somersault is | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
guaranteed. What a prospect for the future. | :54:19. | :54:29. | |
You've said it Matt, his focus for one so young. I can't actually | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
believe it. To come straight from the junior | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
ranks, what, a couple of months ago and here he is, in front of - he | :54:38. | :54:45. | |
probably will not compete in front of a more packed house even at the | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
Olympics. Everybody is just looking at the gymnasts and he is relishing | :54:50. | :54:54. | |
it. He's gone into the lead! I've seen | :54:55. | :55:04. | |
medals at World Championships won with a lower score than that. What a | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
performance. Absolutely, what an addition to the team because P bars | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
hasn't been the best piece for the senior men over the last few years. | :55:13. | :55:22. | |
Well Zachary Clay, good luck following that, my friend. | :55:23. | :55:39. | |
Once you bend your arms, the swing goes out of control. | :55:40. | :56:05. | |
That was just too early. He didn't get the lift above the bar. You | :56:06. | :56:18. | |
rarely see that sort of wild fall on parallel bars. The centre of gravity | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
never got above the bar, not a chance. Slipped along it. It's a | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
difficult skill at the best of time. You have to keep the swing. | :56:28. | :56:45. | |
Just a pace forward, but he had a rough time TV there. Time of it | :56:46. | :56:54. | |
there. Absolute respect for getting back up and continuing with the | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
routine. He must have been shaken. You would have thought so. Because | :57:00. | :57:04. | |
really P bars, they clatter themselves on the bars. You rarely | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
see a wild fall like that. There's a lot of force underneath those bars | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
as you swing down and through. I remember back in the day, we used to | :57:14. | :57:20. | |
put form on the uprights because you would often run into them -- put | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
foam on the uprights because you would often run into them. That | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
could have been dangerous. That's going back a bit, foam on the | :57:32. | :57:36. | |
uprights? Oh, yeah. Is that not done any more? Maybe he needs to | :57:37. | :57:43. | |
introduce a bit of foam in his uprights. He did the Dalton very | :57:44. | :57:53. | |
well. This guy can swing. Nice dismount but all to no avail. Too | :57:54. | :57:55. | |
much went wrong. He made a final. There's the current leader Nile | :57:56. | :58:15. | |
Wilson. High bar still to come for him today. | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
First of the two Australian gymnasts in this parallel bar final is Luke | :58:21. | :58:21. | |
Wadsworth. He finished ninth in the all-around | :58:22. | :58:31. | |
competition. A real liked gymnast, isn't he, Mitch? He's quite suited, | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
in relation to his body he has long They use levers. D to say you need | :58:37. | :58:40. | |
that proportion, which he has. You need soft and Supple shoulders. I | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
think he fills the bill. Oh, he missed that. | :58:44. | :58:57. | |
It's difficult to time that one. A kip forward. He struggled through | :58:58. | :59:47. | |
and he got through. I think the first two gymnasts from England, I | :59:48. | :59:51. | |
think they rattled everybody, because I mean, how do you follow | :59:52. | :59:54. | |
They were that? So good, weren't they? When you think what is this - | :59:55. | :00:00. | |
fifth day of competition, they should be weakening a bit, but they | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
looked so on it. I think you're right, Matt, because this, you know, | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
we've seen him do this fine in the last three competitions. You know it | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
is a little bit to do with how well conditioned you are and the | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
repetitions. If you've done the numbers, if you have done those | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
routines over and over, the elements perfectly over and over, you can | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
with stand the pressure. If you haven't, it's very tough, five days | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
of competition. You're found out. That's a great shot. Lovely | :00:35. | :00:51. | |
technique. Open the shoulders and then snap forward. He did it well. | :00:52. | :01:05. | |
He got better once he got some rhythm under his belt. Matt called | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
it right. He is seated for parallel bars. Formally that do a better job | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
than this. -- normally When there is one day of | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
competition. If you haven't been getting through your routine, that | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
bit of adrenaline will get you through. But now, if you are having | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
to work on adrenaline it is not going to work. | :01:28. | :01:39. | |
Well, today was not my day, he says. Certainly Wilson's day. If you lock | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
a his build, he is massively strong in comparison to the two gymnasts he | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
is sitting beside. Well. Witness the skill and quality of the parallel | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
bar work from the home nation, if I tell you that this lad here, Fraynes | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
from Scotland came second at the British Championships from this | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
Pete. -- Frank Baines. Get yourself excited for his | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
performance. Judging deliberating the score. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
On difficulty and maybe the connections. It is 12.4. | :02:25. | :02:40. | |
For Luke Wadsworth. Frank Baines has a real chance to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
get up into the top three. This is one of his favourite pieces of | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
apparatus. Second at British Championships, this year. Frank | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Baines for Scotland, goes for a medal. | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
That is a lovely smooth start. They open that shoulder angle very | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
strongly. Accurately. That time he hit the one | :03:10. | :03:21. | |
rail. And again. Very good technique. Good in the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Healy. Slight fumble earlier orange but now she back in control of | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
handstands, there is a double pike, which is absolutely nailed. Just a | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
few flutters in the opening skills, but great stuff. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Absolute quality and a treat to watch. He is the gymnast's gymnast, | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
his skills are perfect. He is what every coach wants to be Abe to coach | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
and what every gymnast wants to look line. When you are perfect like that | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
it is a mentality to be perfect all time. But that routine he managed | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
it. You see one of the flutters at | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
start. He recovered to the one rail. Now a 6.2 difficulty scoring | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
qualification, they are just look like discussion as they came off, as | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
though maybe you think he left something out. Look at those feet. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
Locked together. Beautifully tight. Really never loses than theion. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Never loses the extension through the angles. And a fabulous double | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
pike to wrap it up. Just like you say, text book. His toes have turned | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
up now, just ready for landing The height he got there, the time he got | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
level with the bars Just to split hair, it is a shame at start there | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
were a couple of flutters. Baines is in third at the moment. 14.866 with | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
three to go. He locked as though he felt that was | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
fair score. -- looked. | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
We saw Kevin Lytwyn's huge strength combinations yesterday in the rings | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
final. He had some beautiful swing as well, and the floor to his work. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
And he will be looking to exactly that here, in the parallel bar | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
final. A bit of a struggle but he made the | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
handstand shape. Nice and high. The tip up. Grol "yes". ". | :05:50. | :06:01. | |
That skill is 30-year-olds old and it is still a challenge. The double | :06:02. | :06:21. | |
pike. He meant business. He did and he forced his way through that, and | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
it was a very different approach, by the Canadian there. He did very | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
well. Gold in the last final. Not quite the pure body line but really | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
good fighter. The difficult routine as well. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
He is a big old boy, isn't he. Strong. | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
He can swing, that was super high. In fact it has changed a bit. It was | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
just about hand sense -- handstands, now it is handstands and Svens is | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
adds you need to be able to show that perfect shape while you are on | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
top of the bar. -- and swings. He had to pull back a | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
bit. Just the shuffle of the hands, just | :07:15. | :07:27. | |
off there. That is why it was so high. You saw | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
the hips in, the shoulders ex tended and he got the reaction of the pike, | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
which really did loft him up. Good stuff. Kevin Lytwyn, a score of | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
14.033, he is in fourth. So Nile Wilson leads with Max Whitlock, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Silver Medal position at the moment. 15.066. And in third at the moment | :07:56. | :08:07. | |
Frank Baines from Scotland 14.866. Tsukahara from Australia. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
37-year-old. The penultimate gymnast to go. | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
37-year-old. The penultimate gymnast to In this final. And then Scotsman | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Daniel purr solicitor will round off the final. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Broad of shoulder. Narrow hip. -- Daniel Purvis. A fabulous | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
undersomersault. He missed that and Chris was saying about handstand f | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
you don't hit it you could lose the value of the elm, so that could make | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
a huge difference. The double tuck with kick out. His | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
upper arms hit his body was straight, which is very very good. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
There you go. There is the Healy. Full turn from the forward swing. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Tiny bit short on both those elements. One foot at a time. You | :08:57. | :09:08. | |
can see, the class of this map, lovely double pike. Few errors in | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
terms of lovely double pike. Few errors in | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
terms handstands but he is such a beautiful performer to watch. Again, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
another one that got better as the radio tone went on, the first few | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
bits were not so well performed. Once he got into the radio tone, | :09:25. | :09:39. | |
that is a lovely double somersault. See him waiting for the slight | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
bounce. Steadies it before he does next element. | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
There it is. The full push turn on one arm. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Knees tightened together. Have to open out at exactly the right | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
moment. You can see he needs those upper arm supports, to make sure he | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
doesn't wear his skin away. Another very stylish gymnast. Times | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
that so well. He is enjoying a new lease of life | :10:15. | :10:40. | |
is Tsukahara. Yes, now, really laxed flow. When you are so experienced | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
you have been there, done it done three Olympics you go out and do you | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
can. He has been a value member of the Australian team Very. I would | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
think she is a good role model for the gymnasts to follow. Daniel | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Purvis, the last gymnast to go for Scotland, Scotland guaranteed a | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
medal. 14.Is 33. Tsukahara -- 14.133. Tsukahara is in fourth. So, | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
what can Dan Purvis do here? We know he has the difficulty. He got a | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
bronze on rings yesterday. In qualification he put up a 6.5 | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
difficulty. Lovely, through it. Salto to | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
handstand. A bit deep early, but he managed it | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
well. Locking out nicely for handstand. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
Double tuck. He is goes well. That difficulty will stand him in good | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
stead. If he can keep the rhythm going. Nice giant. | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
Straddle. Still the swing is pure. Healy, I tell you this is a very | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
very strong bid for a medal. Oh! That is God. Just a little skip | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
back. Well done Dan Purvis. What a super performance. That is so good | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
the score to beat 14.866 that would knock his compatriot out of third | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
place. If he is going for gold. I am so delighted the see Dan Purvis | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
really perform well on P bar, he has been in and out this season, but he | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
has improved, as this Championships has gone along. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Again, he is a hugely stylish gymnast. Legs locked together. | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
Wonderful handstand shapes. Straight arms in his swings. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
So close. Come on Mitch. arms in his swings. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
reckon? Get off the fence! I have never been on the fence in my life. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
I think he is going to get into, he could take Whitlock. It will be very | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
close. He could. He had a 6.5 in qualification for his difficulty | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
score, and Wilson has 6.4. So if they reckon he performed it better | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
than Wilson he is there. I don't think he had the style edge | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
of Wilson, but who care, it was a great performance an for him, it is | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
a medal for sure Well, he has done it. Good call Chris. Daniel Purvis, | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
15.533. Brilliant stuff. Well deserved. | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
And Scotland are going crazy. Nile Wilson, showing maturity there, the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
way he came up to congratulate him. They are ecstatic, what Dan Purvis, | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
a gold, and they are saving every second. Frank Baines is sharing the | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
joy. How fantastic and Dan sort of said to the youngsters there, this | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
isn't your spot yet, mate. I'm going to come out, I am going to show you | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
I am still here. That was fabulous. Well it's the closest I have seen | :14:28. | :14:43. | |
Dan Purvis come to tears. He did it. Max Whitlock takes the bronze, but | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
the day on parallel bars belongs to Dan Purvis and there could not, | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Christine, have been a more popular medal. No, really delighted. Daniel | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
Purvis and Daniel Keatings winning a gold apiece, making it a special | :15:04. | :15:16. | |
Championships for Scotland. Well, delight from the Scottish crowd, | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
after a brilliant performance from Dan Purvis to take gold on | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
channelling apparatus. How delightful to see Daniel Purvis's | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
face there when that gold medal was shown, first place. I don't think he | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
thought he had done enough. I thought he was going to sneak into | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
second, but the reaction on his face, it was almost like, oh my God | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
I have done it. But he, it has been a tough couple of years for him, and | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
do you know, another medal for Scotland. We are going to hear the | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Flower of Scotland and the Hydro will go mad. For Whitlock to lay | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
down the gauntlet in the way he did and for Nile Wilson... I think all | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
our home nation and for Nile Wilson... I think all | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
our home gymnasts are on fire. They are pushing each other, they are | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
stay saying than on that is not your spot for I can want to go one | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
better. That can only be a good thing for British gymnastics. There | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
is confirmation Daniel Purvis is Commonwealth champion on parallel | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
bars. This is the point, 15s is world | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
final. So to have three score there's. Exactly Nile being a junior | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
and he's coming into it, he's not fazed one bit. He went out there as | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
if to say, oh, I'm just training. That was it. Off he That is went. A | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
message to the critics who think that maybe the Commonwealth Games | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
isn't that much of a challenge, but that, I mean... The challenge is | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
between our home nation gymnasts. The Scottish and English, they're | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
constantly pushing each other. It's going to really help our team | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
performance come this year's World It says Championships. A lot for | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
Frank Baines to produce the It says Championships. A lot for | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
Frank Baines to produce routine he did and came fourth. Exactly. I was | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
so pleased for him. He's had a few mistakes through this championships, | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
but the fact he manage aid clean routine, yes, it didn't bring him | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
home a medal, but still bar to go This is yet. The thing, if you think | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
that was exciting, goodness me, we still have the women's floor to come | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
and also the high bar as well. The Proclaimers echo around this arena | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
for Dan Purvis, who has just taken gold in the parallel bars final. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Join us shortly for the women's floor and the men's high bar. We | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
can't wait. Fantastic scenes once again. You wait 12 years for a | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
second Scottish gold and two come along in two days! Sensational | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
stuff. As the guys were pointing out, it is world class gymnastics | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
that you are seeing, brilliant to watch, again, this afternoon. Now | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
there's plenty on the go all around the Commonwealth venues. The boxing | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
has stopped for the moment. The evening session will begin again at | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
6. 30pm. This is BBC Three. It's the second semifinal of the women's | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
hockey. New Zealand facing England. England one up in what is a key | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
match there. The black sticks hoping for a showdown once again with | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Australia in tomorrow's final. England are having their say. Don't | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
forget, also you'll see on the red button, there is the table tennis. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
It's a very busy day there of Mitched doubles and -- mixed doubles | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
and indeed singles. That's what is happening. We have seen some | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
fantastic stories and heard them as well at these Games. You know, one | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
of them was a couple of nights doing in -- ago. It involved the nation of | :18:40. | :18:51. | |
Kiribas. He's hoisted 200 kilos above his head and set off what must | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
have been the greatest celebration ever. This is the first medal ever | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
for Kiribati. It was gold. There were joyous scenes on the podium and | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
a moving moment there after, as we finally got to hear the Kiribati | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
National Anthem. Here he is, with us in the studio, a | :19:17. | :19:44. | |
sporting legend of the South Pacific. Congratulations. Can you | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
tell me what it was like two days ago, over in the armadillo for you? | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
It feel like happy. You were in paradise. Yes. Have you had messages | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
from back home? This is such an important moment for your nation, | :20:06. | :20:19. | |
what have people been saying to you? Too many messages, because I did | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
really well, for them big, for them like first gold for my First gold | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
country. In anything for your country, first medal in anything | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Yeah. It's a wonderful story. I know that four years ago in Delhi, you | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
were fourth. You were so close to the medals. Mouch work have you had | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
to do -- how much work have you had to do to make this gold happen? For | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
me, four years I've been training for this Commonwealth. I really want | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
to win gold. My dream come true. And you had to stay away from home. All | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
of Yes. That time? Yes. Why w did you train? New Caledonia. My coach, | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
I already thanked my coach. He helped me and his wife. You haven't | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
been home for four years to try and pursue this Gold Medal? Yeah. How | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
much have you missed home? Four years. A long time. Yes. A long | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
time, I've been far from home. South seas islanders are remarkably strong | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
and there is a fantastic tradition of weightlifting, both in your | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
country and also in Nauru. I know your training partner won silver. | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Yeah, I was helping him in the competition. With my trainer partner | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
together, he also win Gold Medal. How important is this medal for | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
sport in Kiribati? It's going to be my people there, they so proud. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
You're going home soon? Yes. You will get a chance to celebrate with | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
rch. -- everyone. I know singing a dancing is a big tradition. What | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
kind of songs will they be singing about you and could you play one? | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Just to let you know, this man has many strings to his bows and many | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
strings on the guitar here, because he's a brilliant musician too. | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
David, would you like to give us a blast of what they'll be singing | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
about you? OK. What's this song? Like car batty is my country. OK, | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
take it away. MUSIC | :22:33. | :23:15. | |
You've brought a tear to my eye! Thank you. David, I think you've | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
just taught me they speak gilbertese. Many, many | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
congratulations to you. Thank you so much for coming in. There you go. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
First ever medal for Kiribati. Plenty of other medals being won by | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
the home nations here. We are heading back to the Hydro now, | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
because it's the women's floor right now. | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Just before the women enter the arena to compete in the floor, it's | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
medals time. Yet again for the home nations, Max Whitlock, he takes the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
bronze in the men's parallel bars final. Nile Wilson steps up to | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
receive the silver and we'll hand over to Mitch. Nile Wilson led for | :24:07. | :24:16. | |
most of this competition. Silver his just reward for a man with a great | :24:17. | :24:29. | |
future. So mature. He will do great things for England and Great | :24:30. | :24:39. | |
Britain. Great performance. Hold onto your | :24:40. | :25:47. | |
hats Dan Purvis, Gold Medal to add to his silver: | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
So solid gold for Dan Purvis of Scotland. | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
Ladies and gentleman, the National Anthem of Scotland. | :26:01. | :26:15. | |
What a moment for Dan Purvis. And also, we've got to talk about Nile | :26:16. | :28:12. | |
Wilson as well. And Max Whitlock there. Representing their countries, | :28:13. | :28:24. | |
but normally united as one in the Great British team. What a battle on | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
these individual finals between them and this was the thing because | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
coming into these championships, it was all talk about whether it would | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
be Scotland or England and yes, the other team final, fair enough. | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
England had quite a large win over them there, with nearly ten marks. | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
But when it came down to the individuals now, I think as far as | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
gold medals are concerned, England got the floor, then ewe have Pommel | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
Horse, Scotland. Then P bars Scotland. It's all to play for on | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
high bar now. I think it's let's play fair and have two each. Oh, | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
yes. Just an absolute delight to see the home nations up there on the | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
medal Ross trum, but the -- Ross strum, the quality of the | :29:09. | :29:15. | |
performances in the final. That's been the same over the a couple of | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
finals. On the floor you had Max produced a world-class routine. Then | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
the pommel final was unbelievable. It wouldn't have looked out of place | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
on the Olympic stage. All three of them scoring over 15 in the P They | :29:31. | :29:39. | |
are bars. Wandering beside the high bar at the moment. There's another | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
final before the high bar final, that is the women's floor. So while | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
we let the lads have their photos taken and make their way down to Ore | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
who will chat with them shortly, let's look forward to the floor | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
final. Wunts again, England's Claudia Fragapane is going to be | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
going in this final. She didn't have much fun earlier on. Her routine | :30:03. | :30:15. | |
itself has great. But you have to do required elments. If there's a | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
break, they can say it's not counted. Straight away they take the | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
start value right down. That's why she missed out on a medal, even | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
though as an onlooker, we thought it was a great Wow think routine. | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
Surely that's a medal. Georgina Hockenhull, for Wales, Christine's | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
gymnast was so classy in her performance, wasn't she? She's had | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
three performances on beam and all three of them are steady and | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
controlled. You just felt for her for this competition, you wanted her | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
to do what she did in the all around and in qualification. To with stand | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
that pressure, she knew if she stayed on, she would be in the | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
table. And her team-mate is on floor as well. How will she fare? She's a | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
great floor worker. She's very artistic. She will get the crude | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
clapping along. She's very elegant to watch. Yeah, just having a look | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
behind me. The lads are making their way down now. Shortly, we will chat | :31:09. | :31:17. | |
with them. Hannah Whelan, bronze medallist in 2012, consistency is | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
the key with her. This floor routine she knows inside out. She could were | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
form it at 3am. Which is kind of is here with the schedule. As soon as | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
you see her walk onto the floor, she gets straight into character and the | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
judges love to watch She'll be it. In the mid. Field. -- in the middle | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
of the field. I think the lads are now wandering into position. We can | :31:42. | :31:51. | |
go straight down to Daniel Purvis, Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson. | :31:52. | :31:58. | |
If we thought we were in for a treat yesterday with the pommelhorse | :31:59. | :32:01. | |
final, that was something special and we have the guys with us. What | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
did I tell you yesterday? You have a clean sweep, now Commonwealth Gold | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
as well as bronze and silver. Such an enjoyable final, we had fantastic | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
routines. I had to go out and do my best and fortunately, I got the Gold | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
medals so I am pleased. The look on your face when you came off the | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
apparatus, had you done enough? I was very happy, it has been a bit of | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
a rough week, up and down. I did not want to get my hopes up and I am | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
just happy to compete, this is a massive bonus. We saw done Purvis | :32:38. | :32:46. | |
winning a medal yesterday, two in two days, what was it like to hear | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
the flower of Scotland? So happy, I was welling up. I have my family and | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
the Scottish crowd behind me, I felt so proud, it was a fantastic day. | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
I will let you go, everybody here was excited to see you so well done. | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
Max, we will talk to you in a second because this guy has a horizontalbar | :33:09. | :33:14. | |
final. You are in that position for so long, did you think you had done | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
enough? I thought I had, to be honest. My routine was -- down's | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
routine was amazing and I am happy for him and I also have a clean | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
sweep. This has been one of the best weeks of my life. I have the high | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
bar now and maybe I can get another medal. The commentary team were | :33:35. | :33:40. | |
saying three scores above 15 was world class. Well Championships in | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
October, when you deliver in the world stage? Definitely. 3.15 in the | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
parallel bars is something we have never done before. -- three | :33:51. | :33:58. | |
fifteenths. It feels so good, especially being a junior, very | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
happy. You have the high bar to do first, congratulations. | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
Max, five medals from the Commonwealth Games. Congratulations. | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
Thank you, I am so happy. I was looking forward to this final. So | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
happy to finish the competition with a bronze medal and with a good | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
routine. It was good fun. I was first up in the bars so I was | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
nervous but I got the other athletes competing which was amazing. Not for | :34:29. | :34:36. | |
the first time, but have three guys on top of the podium, three British | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
guys, it something special. It really is and it is improving | :34:41. | :34:48. | |
rapidly. I hope we can keep it up. It is quite tiring but hopefully we | :34:49. | :34:53. | |
can pick-up again and I am looking forward to it and this gives us | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
confidence towards the World Championships. You have done your | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
bit, put your feet up, well done. In the meantime, the floor finalists | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
have been lining up. We have Kirsten Beckett first, then Jessica Hogg for | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
Wales, Lauren Mitchell, Stefanie Merkle, Hannah Whelan, Claudia | :35:15. | :35:22. | |
Fragapane, Ellie Black, and Charlotte Sullivan for New Zealand. | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
First, it is the 18-year-old, Kirsten Beckett. | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
A very powerful gymnast. The last opportunity for them to impress. | :35:33. | :35:43. | |
Very nice for twisting double back but she will lose marks. In doubt of | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
the floor area. Floats on the jumps. Double Arabian, that was well | :35:46. | :35:55. | |
performed. Lovely turning week. The jumps and | :35:56. | :36:14. | |
the tumbles added to the difficulty level. Good landings ensured the | :36:15. | :36:23. | |
execution score is high. -- will ensure. | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
She can leap well, and they split. -- a split. | :36:29. | :36:38. | |
Quickly into this next tumble. Double touch. She makes the landing. | :36:39. | :36:48. | |
Great start for this final. Kirsten Beckett. | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
Indeed, a great start. She has been consistent all the way through. That | :36:53. | :37:03. | |
was more like it. Save your best till last. She struggled on the | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
individual all-around competition. Three days of the competition, some | :37:09. | :37:14. | |
of the gymnasts have struggled. Interesting technique, half turning, | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
front somersault and half turn out. -- a half turn in. She is very | :37:22. | :37:32. | |
powerful, a nice relaxed style. She is one of the gymnasts we identified | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
as, if only she could put it together. She was, and I think she | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
did put it together in the first day of competition. But you need a great | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
deal of stamina to be able to fulfil a schedule like this. That is the | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
double Arabian. She was very happy with her performance. The Arabian | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
was very secure and very competent. Yes, she married nicely but tumbling | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
with good weeks, it was not too taxing. -- jumps. There was an | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
error. Maybe a deduction. Kirsten Beckett scores 13.794 | :38:14. | :38:29. | |
execution. A little bit costly, those mistakes. -- 13 .79 four | :38:30. | :38:39. | |
execution. Jessica Hogg, from Wales. 18 years | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
old. She is a very nice floor work. -- | :38:44. | :38:52. | |
worker. Very good tumbling. Twisting double | :38:53. | :39:06. | |
back, and look at the landing. Another big tumble. Double pike, she | :39:07. | :39:36. | |
really knows how to land. Good height and split. | :39:37. | :39:44. | |
Another big tumble, so important to finish with a D difficulty. A big | :39:45. | :40:27. | |
double took. Little step, very nicely done. -- took. | :40:28. | :40:36. | |
What a performance from Jessica Hogg! The Welsh crowd are in. What a | :40:37. | :40:48. | |
moment for her. That was a really good performance, a green landing, | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
big high tumbling. And lovely moments. She sells the routine, she | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
is a performer. Some of the young gymnasts are not, that was a | :41:00. | :41:02. | |
superhigh twisting double back. She is a junior international. She | :41:03. | :41:19. | |
has had some injury so has not quite made it into the senior ranks at | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
British level. But here, for Wales, performing beautifully. She could be | :41:25. | :41:33. | |
a bit of a challenge here. These landings were so secure. She is so | :41:34. | :41:40. | |
high, so she can see the floor and she can steady herself ready to make | :41:41. | :41:42. | |
the landing. This is the final tumble. A double | :41:43. | :42:01. | |
back is a D. Most of the gymnasts here have tumbled so well in this | :42:02. | :42:03. | |
floor. She scores 13.166. For the moment, | :42:04. | :42:19. | |
Jessica Hogg is leading this women's floor final. A bit down on | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
difficulty, 4.9. Lauren Mitchell with her second | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
final of the day. She came in sixth position in beam. She has been World | :42:33. | :42:41. | |
Champion in floor. She really will need to be at her best. She powers | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
through the tumbles. Twisting double back, she does just that. | :42:48. | :42:59. | |
Another big tumble, double Arabian. But she jumps out of floor area -- | :43:00. | :43:11. | |
the floor area, that will be costly. She has performed that so | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
successfully in beam. Very individually done. | :43:16. | :43:22. | |
They have to dance into the tumble and into the corner. Well | :43:23. | :43:38. | |
controlled, that front somersault. Big series of leaps. Straight into | :43:39. | :44:05. | |
the double pike. That is the best lending she has had. | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
Certainly having a better time of it than she had in beam before. She | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
scored 14.1 on qualifications so she is more than capable of aim medal. | :44:19. | :44:27. | |
As a World Champion. -- a medal. Her difficulty in qualification was 5.9. | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
4.9, Jessica Hogg's score. She did not perform it as well. The twisting | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
double back was good, but it was quite a big jump back. I think she | :44:40. | :44:46. | |
just kept on their heels. She does a double Arabian here. -- her heels. | :44:47. | :44:53. | |
This jump gives her a bonus. She started to try to jump but she | :44:54. | :44:58. | |
jumped out at the floor area so she loses the bonus and the 0.3 for a | :44:59. | :45:07. | |
step and 0.1 out of an area. It was 2010 that she won the Championships. | :45:08. | :45:13. | |
She has been injured since. She competed in 2012. A lot of gymnasts | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
to competed in 2012 in the Olympics took time out after, some of them | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
have come back, like Lauren, it is never so easy to get back to where | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
you are. Even Louis Smith found that. Times have moved on, as well. | :45:30. | :45:38. | |
Two years is a long time in sport. Slight rule changes. She has been | :45:39. | :45:51. | |
there and she has done it. I am sure she will go into the lead at the | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
moment. Jessica Hogg is a score of 13.166. -- has a score. It has got | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
to be 13 and higher. I think she will have maintained her | :46:02. | :46:15. | |
5.9 difficulty. So although she will have deductions, I would expect that | :46:16. | :46:24. | |
score to hold up. As you said, 13 and above, probably. | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
The whole of the women's team from Australia were a mature team. | :46:31. | :46:43. | |
It's certainly a beatable score. It is. Both the English girls will have | :46:44. | :46:52. | |
a go at that. Stephanie Merkle from Canada. | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
This is her first Commonwealth Games. | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
She qualified with the fourth highest score of 13. 6336789 | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
-- 13. 13.633. She's landing very well. Landings | :47:04. | :47:44. | |
are all important from the judging perspective. | :47:45. | :48:14. | |
She managed to keep that power all the way to the finish. She did. They | :48:15. | :48:36. | |
were good landings. Quite good leaps as well. That will be a bit of a | :48:37. | :48:43. | |
bid. Fresh, as you say, from a bit of a rest. It showed in her | :48:44. | :48:48. | |
tumbling. It did. She will have had two days without competition. | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
Whereas many of these gymnasts, this is their fifth consecutive day of | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
competition. Great full twisting double. Plenty | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
of power. Really pulling very hard through the | :49:01. | :49:17. | |
flick. Standing up as early as possible to set up the twists. | :49:18. | :49:28. | |
Very fine triple twist, sorry two-and-a-half twists, beg your | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
pardon. Lost the legs a little bit. Punches well out of it. | :49:33. | :49:42. | |
Plenty of good, fresh tumbling from her. | :49:43. | :49:55. | |
There's the triple. She's looking for a score over 13. 833 to go into | :49:56. | :50:01. | |
the lead. But it's second. Down a bit on that difficulty. It | :50:02. | :50:10. | |
was difficulty that cost her. Jessica Hogg the only gymnast with | :50:11. | :50:12. | |
an execution score in the eights. That will be costly, stepped two | :50:13. | :50:25. | |
feet out. Lovely and Supple. Performs really | :50:26. | :50:53. | |
nicely. She marries expressive dance, big | :50:54. | :51:29. | |
tumbling, double pike somersault. Hannah Whelan for England and she | :51:30. | :51:54. | |
would have been relying on the execution score. So, because she | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
doesn't have the difficulty there, with the big step out of the area, | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
that's costly for her. The other two tumbles had steps as well. The night | :52:04. | :52:10. | |
of the individual all-around she was absolutely nailed every landing, but | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
0. 1 on each makes a Lovely blend difference. Of choreography and | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
acrobatics. Nicely put together, lovely routine really, shame for the | :52:21. | :52:28. | |
little errors. That's got to be at least, if they want to be unkind, | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
five really because she wandered three steps and out of the area. | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
It's a lovely, mature performance. Really expresses the routine. She | :52:41. | :52:48. | |
goes with the music. But she hasn't got the huge tumbles. So she does | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
need to be precise. 5. 5 the difficulty. If you think Lauren | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
Mitchell was on six for difficulty. Have you to have. 5 better execution | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
score. She can do it. Again that little adjustment on the | :53:03. | :53:14. | |
double pike, still impressive, though. | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
She's encouraging her team-mate. It's fourth for Hannah Whelan. | :53:23. | :53:36. | |
Well, if there was ever a piece of apparatus for Claudia Fragapane for | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
impress on, it's this. She looks focussed and she'll need | :53:42. | :53:53. | |
to be for this first huge tumble. A double straight, she just made | :53:54. | :54:20. | |
that look so easy. Such a clever routine, it brings out | :54:21. | :54:48. | |
the best in her. She just needs to be precise. | :54:49. | :55:14. | |
She is, she's made the landing! There's the smile. Surely, it's a | :55:15. | :55:21. | |
golden floor routine for a golden girl? Super energy. Super | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
projection. Super performance. When you think that is the third time in | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
this championship she's performed that routine, the tumbles are so | :55:32. | :55:38. | |
difficult. She makes them just look easy, but they are such huge | :55:39. | :55:43. | |
tumbles. She made history by winning the all-around, the first time an | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
English gymnast has won the individual all around. Absolutely | :55:48. | :55:56. | |
brilliant. The energy. The energy she had throughout the whole | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
routine! Sparky and efficient. Look at this, not for the faint hearted, | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
full twist and a double straight. The sell tumble as well, I don't | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
know if we're going to see it, it was amazing. She sort of almost | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
saunters into it as well. It's not even like, it's her second tumble | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
and she doesn't belt flat out. She's so efficient on the take-off. Hips | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
open. The way she got her shoulders and chest up first, superben | :56:26. | :56:33. | |
technique and plonked it down. Not a flicker. Do you know, I think she | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
enjoys the routine. She looks like she enjoys the routine. That is | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
really important, if you're really going to be a great champion. I love | :56:44. | :56:53. | |
this. Yes, her coach Helen Potter, has been so clever, she's not | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
elegant, Claudia, she would never work to Swan Lake and they've chosen | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
something that's so suited to her physique and personality. What a | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
personality! All over her face, brilliant. | :57:11. | :57:19. | |
There's mum and dad. The flag wavers. Claudia is the middle | :57:20. | :57:26. | |
daughter of five girls. Claudia Fragapane 14. 541 - she's in | :57:27. | :57:44. | |
the lead! Surely, she cannot be touched. I don't think she can. I | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
think that's the Gold Medal performance. | :57:49. | :58:00. | |
Ellie Black, the penultimate gymnast. | :58:01. | :58:12. | |
She changed that to double twist rather than double pike. That was a | :58:13. | :59:04. | |
wise change, because she's fallen on the double pike on two occasions. | :59:05. | :59:26. | |
Very difficult combinations. Well she took a gold on beam about an | :59:27. | :59:39. | |
hour or so ago. Maybe just taken it out of her a little bit. Yes, I | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
mean, she's struggled to land these tumbles. The second and third | :59:44. | :59:48. | |
tumbles are massively difficult combinations, run into straight | :59:49. | :59:52. | |
front full round off flip double tuck. It's really difficult work. | :59:53. | :59:56. | |
The two-and-a-half walkout, she's the only gymnast in the world I know | :59:57. | :59:59. | |
doing the two-and-a-half into a walkout. But she just somehow hasn't | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
quite got hold of this floor. Lovely on the double straight. She might | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
have done enough to go into second position. Lauren Mitchell currently | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
holds that position with a score of 13. 833. That was the change. She | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
did double twist instead of double pike. This is the last tumble. This | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
is really a hard complex tumble to achieve. Oh, yeah, to walk out a | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
full twisting front in the straight body position and she walked out | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
well from that two-and-a-half twist as well. She's got some steps. | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
Will it be top three. Just one gymnast left. | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
It's third at the moment. 13. 666. Claudia Fragapane is leading the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
field. Seven behind her is Lauren Mitchell. ' Ellie Black. -- and | :01:22. | :01:33. | |
inferred, Ellie Black. -- in third place. From New Zealand, this is | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Charlotte Sullivan. She starts with a good double spin. | :01:37. | :01:52. | |
Leisurely into the triple twist. Well blended. -- landed. | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
More power into the double pike. Not quite so secure in the landings. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Nice leaps. Very nice. Two and half twist, she jumps out of | :02:11. | :02:28. | |
it. -- a half. Go to turning jump. -- a good. Very | :02:29. | :03:04. | |
bouncy. Precise. What were we have at the end? -- what will we have. | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
Nice double back. A good solid performance but a bit short on | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
expression if she wants to get into the top marks. She needs 13.666, or | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
better, to get into a better position. She's good 13.633 in | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
qualification. So it is a possibility. Some of the tumbling | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
was very impressive. Quick and light across the four -- floor. Was the | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
choreography up to the tumbling? We have seen some expressive floor | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
routines and it was not the most expressive. She opened with that, a | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
triple. I think it was right round. Plenty of figure. Good double pike. | :04:03. | :04:14. | |
-- plenty of energy. She will not get deductions for a lack of height. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
The impression for the judges was good in terms of tumbling, nicely | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
landing. 13.666 is the target. Can she do it? | :04:31. | :04:44. | |
13.666 will give her a bronze. No doubt about the Gold, that young | :04:45. | :04:59. | |
lady! Can she move Ellie Black out of runs with that formance? -- | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
bronze. Deliberations among the judges. She | :05:03. | :05:17. | |
is the very final gymnast of this Championships for the women. | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
13.033. Execution let her down. In celebration from Claudia Fragapane. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
-- and celebration. Another Gold from her. Great personality, she | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
loves every minute. A Star is born here. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Yes, Claudia Fragapane is definitely a name of these Games. She now has | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
the most Gold medals of a single Games for an Englishwoman in 84 | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
years! Remarkable! What a performance from her. Do return | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
shortly and joiners for the high bar final. -- and join us. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
We will not miss that, fantastic. We are going to the women's hockey, | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
England were beating New Zealand, and what a cracking match. Black | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
sticks for the silver medallists from Delhi, England took the bronze | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
medal last time, this is how it went in the closing stages. | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
New Zealand get underway in the second semifinal in Glasgow, 2014. | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
This is Webster. Excellent tackle. The captain brings the ball out of | :06:42. | :07:01. | |
defence. Now she drives forward. Mickelson. Penalty corner for New | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Zealand. She has given the penalty corner for | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
not backing off before engaging. Richardson Walsh did not back off | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
before the required time. And it goes over without anybody touching | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
it. into the circle. It is in! England | :07:25. | :07:54. | |
1-0. England have scored, with New Zealand one player on the bench. It | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
is being referred. They are looking for a foot as the | :07:59. | :08:12. | |
ball came across. I thought if it hit the glove and the hand is on the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
stick, that is part of the stick, but it has to hit a forearm. It is | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
not a fort. -- her foot. I think it is goal. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
The goal will stand. The goal does stand and it is 1-0 to England. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
Munching a bit, New Zealand. -- they are lunging. A shot at goal. Over | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
the baseline. Gilbert with the shot. Trying to get the deflection, could | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
not get the goal. Rutherford comes out and saves for | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
New Zealand. The ball is still alive. A shot at goal. Penalty | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
corner for England. 16.5 minutes left in the semifinal. England's | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
first penalty corner of the game, great skills. Lucy Ward trying to | :09:21. | :09:32. | |
get in front. The ball hits Thomson. It is Richardson-Walsh. It is in! | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Over the top, longer corner. New Zealand breathe a sigh of relief. | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
Richardson-Walsh. I think they are going for a deflection. Great play | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
by mail to send double over the line. -- Naylor. A chance of goal. | :09:53. | :10:05. | |
It is Katie Glynn that has worked so hard for New Zealand. And what a | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
ball game, best piece of place by her without doubt. And Glynn, that | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
is an unbelievable strike with her back to goal. Final play of the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
semifinal. Unless it goes to the shoot out. Poised and waiting. | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
Richardson-Walsh. It is out of the circle and it is a draw at the end | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
of regulation time. There will be a penalty shoot out. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
England, off she goes. Rutherford hovering. In it goes for England. | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
That is well played. Possibly could have been a penalty strike. Danson | :10:55. | :11:06. | |
puts it into the empty goal. New Zealand's next. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
-- New Zealand are next. She has done it. She leaves the ball behind. | :11:13. | :11:26. | |
If she puts this in England go to the final. Rutherford makes a strong | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
stand. She has missed. Hope for New Zealand yet. The drama continues. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Stacey Mickelson. A bit of deception. She looks | :11:41. | :11:52. | |
across. It is all over! It is England! They have won the penalty | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
shoot out and they head towards the goal. It has been met deeper who has | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
provided the heroics -- it has been their goalkeeper. The match finishes | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
4-2 after the shoot out. England go through over New Zealand. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
Congratulations, you are always the target in front of the goal, you | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
must be delighted? Yes, really pleased, it is a team effort and the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
girls have to score. I just want to stop some goals, massive team effort | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
today and I am delighted. First reactions after that incredible | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
match? My nerves jangling. We always take it to the wire and I am angry | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
because it was my player I was marking his scored. I was so angry. | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
-- who scored. A lapse in concentration. We practised and we | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
trained hard and we have one of the best goalkeepers in the world and | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
the best at penalties so thank goodness for her. The atmosphere was | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
incredible, difficult to believe we were in Glasgow, you had such strong | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
support. Every game, the support has been amazing, such a great venue, | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
the noise comes onto the pitch. The Scotland game was epic, bagpipes and | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
everything, but the crowd were fantastic again today. Australia are | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
strong, three out of four titles. What is | :13:30. | :13:30. | |
strong, three out of four titles. What England's strength Mr Mark -- | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
strength? When we played them, we showed we could break them down with | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
pace in the midfield and the forwards. We will have to be very | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
brave and strong and we will have to cut through them. We need to work at | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
that and if we can do that, we will have opportunities, we just have to | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
concentrate. That is England, England against | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
Australia, in the final. In Glasgow Green. The Piper is playing so there | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
is a medal presentation and this is extremely special. Historic to | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
Claudia Fragapane, a fourth Gold. The team title, the all-around fault | :14:13. | :14:21. | |
and this evening, the floor. -- vault. Not since Joyce Canada in the | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
first Games in Hamilton, Canada, in 1930, has a woman achieved four Gold | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
medals in one Games. She is one of four people, the other three -- the | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
other two Richardson-Walsh men. -- the other two of them were men. So | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
she is quite a find at 16 years of age and she deserves another moment | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
in the limelight. Jerusalem will bring out shortly at | :14:52. | :15:05. | |
the Hydro Arena. -- will play out. The gymnasts make their way to the | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
podium. Claudia Fragapane took Gold, Lauren Mitchell from Australia | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Silver, Ellie Black from Canada runs. We never doubted it. -- the | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
bronze medal. She learned a lot at the European Championships, she made | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
it into the final and she lost a medal. She brought that experience | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
to this competition and she used it for the finals. She has learned | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
quite a bit here because she has had ups and downs. It did not go to plan | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
before. It was almost say that is wrong, I am going to take the title | :15:46. | :15:55. | |
again in the floor. Let's join Mitch and enjoy Claudia Fragapane's Gold | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
medal. Ellie Black steps forward to take | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
the bronze medal. Elegant and graceful gymnast. Capable of great | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
difficulty. The winner of the silver medal, | :16:08. | :16:46. | |
representing Australia, Lauren Mitchell! The vast experience of | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
Lauren Mitchell. She has been part of Australia's greatest moment for a | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
long time. And here she takes a silver medal. | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
What a career she has had, Lauren Mitchell. On the rostrum yet again. | :17:10. | :17:23. | |
Commonwealth champion, with a score of 14.541, representing England, | :17:24. | :17:43. | |
Claudia Fragapane! Take one pinch of sparkle, a sack full of energy and | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
what do you get? Claudia Fragapane. She was magnificent. Huge tumbling | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
ability, wonderful projection, a true floor specialist and not only | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
that, it's her fourth gold medal. She is absolutely captivating and | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
brilliant on the floor. Superb performance. 16 years old, she is | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
just fantastic. Claudia Fragapane. Gold-medallist on | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
the floor. Ladies and gentlemen, the national | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
anthem of England. Let's celebrate our Commonwealth | :18:34. | :20:03. | |
Games medallists! Fantastic performance there from Claudia | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Fragapane. What the games she has had. Fourth gold medal, brilliant, | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
brilliant, brilliant. And she doesn't half suit the gold medal! | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
Look at that smile, that is a place to look out for for the future. I | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
was having a conversation with Mitch, and he said, a few years ago, | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
he picked you out as a gymnast, in your first senior year of | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
competition. You can just tell, when you come across something that is | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
quite different and special. She is special, she is so talented and she | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
has a great work ethic. When you see her in the gym, should do something | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
and it's not quite right, she is looking at her coach, what can I do | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
to make it better? That's what you need in a gymnast. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
Let's just remind ourselves. Let's look at her routine. Put us through | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
it from grace and perspective. She is so dynamic, the way she opens | :21:07. | :21:19. | |
there, but she doesn't hesitate, build-up to the tumble, the tumbles, | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
even though so difficult, are still part of the whole routine. She | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
turns, go straight into the next humble. I like the changes they have | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
made to be judging system where you are not allowed to stand in the | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
corner, and this, head, eyes, everything, she is loving this | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
routine. She loves performing it. And I think the rest of the world | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
will be looking at this poor style, because she gets into the corner and | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
then does her dancing, even a bit of dancing. Yes, one of the big things | :21:54. | :22:05. | |
the world of gymnastics is wanted is to bring back some performance into | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
gymnastics. It has become a procession of leaps and tumbles. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
They wanted to make it a whole performance with the gymnast | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
choosing music that suits them, choosing moves that bring out the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
best in them. That is what Claudia has got here with the routine. It's | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
very unusual, very different, she's not at the routine. It's very | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
unusual, very different, she's not a genetic to her personality. You will | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
career was 11 years as a senior? It was. So she will be around for some | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
years to come. She is still a baby in gymnastics terms, she has much | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
experience to pick up, but the fact she has started her senior career | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
and picked up four golds, that will give her confidence. Even the size | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
of her, she is absolutely tiny. You could see her with Lauren Mitchell, | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
a full head above her. It is incredible, don't underestimate the | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
power of the little one! They have nicknamed her the pocket rocket. As | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
soon as you let her go, she just flies. From a difficulty | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
perspective, she is working on things we haven't even seen in the | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
gym. All credit has to go back to her home club, still hawks, Rory and | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
Helen have done an amazing job. She is talking to us. | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Quite simply, she is one of the stars of the games, and to give you | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
an idea of her size, here I am, fired the games, and to give you an | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
idea of her size, here I am, five per and that power! Congratulations. | :23:53. | :24:05. | |
It has been great being here. I'm only 16 and it's just great, coming | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
out here and getting four gold medals, amazing. I don't think you | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
will know this bid to another most decorated Englishwoman at a | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
Commonwealth Games in 84 years. How does that make you feel? Speechless! | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
That's incredible. You seemed to enjoy that. That flaw was just | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
marvellous. I thought, it was my last time competing here, just go | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
out there and enjoy it, it has been incredible. Now we have got used to | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
seeing you collect gold medals, we will start expecting it, we have the | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
World Championships coming up. I am expecting to get a floor final at | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
the worlds and then hopefully get into the top but if not, I know how | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
hard to work. It has been quite incredible watching you for the past | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
few days, congratulations again. Thank you! | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
It's one thing doing the routine in training and another delivering on | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
the competition stage. It is, I know the girls have been working and the | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
coach has had an eye on them, they have been doing a lot of practice | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
competition, they have been set challenges so they are not just | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
doing a floor routine, they have to do a floor routine with no steps. | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
They have worked on their run-up, so they are not stepping out of the | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
floor area. That was the last of the women's individual apparatus finals | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
and we are moving onto the blue ribbon event. There is Nile Wilson. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
We're pretty much set for the men's high bar final, there was then | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Keating is there. -- Daniel Keatings. This really is it. This is | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
the one final where we haven't been able to put our money on anyone. | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
John Major! He's expecting some major competition here! He's not | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
going to be disappointed. The talent out there, yet again, you have the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
home Nations boys, representing great Britain, they will be all | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
fighting for that last medal, and I think mile, -- Nile Wilson, he will | :26:26. | :26:37. | |
be wanting to win this. Daniel Keatings and Nile Wilson will be | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
competing, they had the same score here, 14.76. There is a horror, | :26:42. | :26:54. | |
being introduced. -- O Hara. Nile Wilson, what a year of senior | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
competition he is having, and relishing every moment here at the | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
Commonwealth Games. Daniel Keatings has a gold and silver already. And | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
Frank Baines, is this his time? Christian Thomas, silver on vault. | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
Nile Wilson also has the full set, let's not forget. This is all about | :27:23. | :27:36. | |
getting through the routine. You would expect... The key is, if they | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
hang on, they could medal. You will see a full twisting double | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
somersault over the bar, and they see that by literary at the last | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
second. So there is not a lot of room for error. | :27:54. | :27:54. | |
second. So there is not a lot of room Unbelievable tension here. A | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
lot at stake and I'm not just talking about the medals here. This | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
is really risky stuff. If ever there is a warning to say don't try this | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
at home... ! This would be it. Stand-by for the high bar final. | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
This lad has real fire in his belly, he came third in the Australian | :28:25. | :28:33. | |
Championships on this piece of apparatus. Prepare to be amazed. | :28:34. | :28:41. | |
The Australians have won Commonwealth gold here. Qualified in | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
eighth place. Change of shape, going over the top, | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
kicked out nicely. Tell you what, what a good start to | :28:58. | :29:13. | |
this routine! The coach, ever vigilant. | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
He really opened the hip angle just too early. What a pity. Hands on | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
hips, that tells a sad story. He was going so well. He really is a | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
gymnast that shows his emotions through the competition and that | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
bell, they have 30 seconds to get back on or else they are not allowed | :29:41. | :29:41. | |
to. A bit of a dream start for him. Good | :29:42. | :29:51. | |
releases, then it turned into a nightmare. But he is away now. Big | :29:52. | :30:02. | |
wind-up. The double double. Blended beautifully. Just shows you. If you | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
hang on, you go through, you have got a chance. He was adamant to get | :30:11. | :30:18. | |
at them proved everybody could nail a dismount and he did just that. -- | :30:19. | :30:27. | |
prove to everybody. He will be back to Australia now. The routine | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
started so well. It was a sort of relatively easy thing that he broke | :30:35. | :30:35. | |
down on. He was looking at his guards. | :30:36. | :30:51. | |
Because that was fabulous, he caught it falls Rich Tom somersault over | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
the bar. -- courted full stretch. close, that might have been when he | :30:55. | :31:22. | |
did not get around. Disappointment, but lovely work at | :31:23. | :31:36. | |
the start. Sean O'Hara from Australia scores 12.7. | :31:37. | :31:43. | |
Next ago, representing Canada, please welcome Anderson Lawrence. | :31:44. | :31:56. | |
This is the highest qualifier. Lovely, nicely done. Over the diet | :31:57. | :32:15. | |
-- over the top. Full twist. He did not get his hands up. Go for broke. | :32:16. | :32:24. | |
That will wind him, I am sure. He was a bit close. He was too late. | :32:25. | :32:33. | |
One hand and, did not get the second. -- one hand on the bar. | :32:34. | :32:43. | |
Painful. He has to get back in. He did not get his legs down enough | :32:44. | :32:50. | |
to break his fall. Maintaining the focus. Credit to him, two big | :32:51. | :33:01. | |
releases. Different twists and body positions. He is winding up again. | :33:02. | :33:13. | |
Just to show you. He tried a combination and again, he came | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
adrift. He is not holding back and he is loving it. Well done, junk | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
man! He is going to get back up. -- younger man. In the spirit of this | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
apparatus final, these lads are out to impress. He certainly did impress | :33:30. | :33:38. | |
with courage, and almost with style. That is the Gaylord. It is a | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
one-time learned, very difficult. He had a good go at it. -- long time. | :33:45. | :33:59. | |
Come on! Twist on the double. He will get a massive roar of | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
appreciation. A favourite with the crowd, maybe not the judges, Chris! | :34:04. | :34:10. | |
Who cares? He has given them plenty to deduct but it was such an | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
exciting routine and that is the spirit of the high bar, it is | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
exciting. If it does not go well, you gave it your best! | :34:21. | :34:28. | |
That was late, Chris? It was, and you have such forces going through | :34:29. | :34:38. | |
your hands that you have to catch squarely to resist them. He did not | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
really get his hands over on that. We have spoken before and says you | :34:46. | :34:55. | |
have to go over the bar to hang on. Nice. Slightly late getting that | :34:56. | :35:04. | |
left hand in. It is all work to get your shoulders square. But he can do | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
the stuff, he has done it many times in training. This is the Gaylord | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
which has to be perfectly timed. It is the combination of the two and | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
that is why you get a lot of of Marx, it is very difficult. -- | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
marks. Good dismount. Good effort, my man! It just shows | :35:27. | :35:44. | |
the character and nature of the high bar. 11.86 it. -- 11 .866. That will | :35:45. | :35:57. | |
do! This young man has the full set, a Gold, a bronze, a silver. Junior | :35:58. | :36:06. | |
Europe Ian Champion, what can he do in high bar? It is Nile Wilson, for | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
England. -- European. Legs watch together. -- what it. -- | :36:09. | :36:25. | |
his legs locked together. Plenty of time to keep swing going. Lovely | :36:26. | :36:27. | |
technique. Very nice work. Time to spare. Beautiful | :36:28. | :36:35. | |
technician. This is beautiful work. And I do not | :36:36. | :36:56. | |
use that term very often. Lovely in the inverter swing. Flashes of style | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
and presentation throughout. Come on, boy! Eight double -double. The | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
tiniest of adjustments, what a performance! -- a double. He will | :37:10. | :37:17. | |
get another medal, I tell you that. Every move was never in doubt, | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
absolute perfection! Everything he did, Chris. He has been trained so | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
well. Every move is performed well and when you perform it well, the | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
next move is easy. He is a class and when you perform it well, the | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
and he has got a lot of that as well! What a debut in his senior | :37:36. | :37:51. | |
year. Quite amazing. He was well above horizontal, he was square. A | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
lot of gymnasts do this but they are scruffy and whatever. That was good | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
stuff, knees locked together. Lovely technique, I am absolutely | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
gobsmacked at how this is he is. Brilliant technique. -- how precise. | :38:07. | :38:16. | |
He has had some year. Five Gold medals at the Junior European | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
Championships. This is the one year he can be a junior or a senior. He | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
competed in the Junior Championships in May and then he was allowed to be | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
a senior, he cannot go back to the junior competitions at the end of | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
the year. Every shape you to fully done, great finish, tiny adjustment. | :38:39. | :38:46. | |
-- dutifully. He could win this on execution alone. That is without | :38:47. | :38:57. | |
question the performance to beat. His dad is delighted. Without | :38:58. | :39:04. | |
question. The whole family celebrates. Look at his face seeing | :39:05. | :39:15. | |
his family. 14.966! That is a huge score. Great work. Daniel Keatings. | :39:16. | :39:34. | |
He matched male Wilson in your round, can he match in here? -- and | :39:35. | :39:47. | |
I'll will. Pressure is on. -- Nile Wilson. Every shape is clearly made. | :39:48. | :39:59. | |
That is a shame. He was a late. The sequence is vital to that skill. It | :40:00. | :40:06. | |
is crucial. You have to go through it long enough. He was hanging on to | :40:07. | :40:13. | |
long. I think he came down heavily on not right shoulder. Do not do | :40:14. | :40:22. | |
anything to brave here. -- to brave. Just go through. | :40:23. | :40:30. | |
Thrills and spills already. In this high bar final. Daniel Keatings is | :40:31. | :40:42. | |
still swinging with impressive style. Half turn. He is still | :40:43. | :40:48. | |
looking good. Watch the pike. The arch. Twist and | :40:49. | :41:03. | |
the double straight. He is such a mature performer. Beautifully done. | :41:04. | :41:13. | |
And what a Games this has been for Daniel Keatings. Everything he has | :41:14. | :41:22. | |
deserved. A little disappointment. But he has had a great time and he | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
has proved to everybody you can focus, concentrate, he can do really | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
well. Gold in the pommelhorse, silver in the all-around, silver for | :41:34. | :41:41. | |
the team. He is injured a bit now. These British guys have got such | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
great technique. Their body lines are so good. It really has been a | :41:48. | :41:53. | |
generation that have been well trained, well coached. Look at that! | :41:54. | :42:01. | |
Into the perfect straight line. This is when he has already fallen and is | :42:02. | :42:07. | |
feeling a bit wobbly. He knows he has worked so well. One of the | :42:08. | :42:16. | |
things is because they know they work so well, they are not having to | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
include things they can only half do. Everything is quite secure | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
before it goes on. -- goes on. Such a good shape. Just like the | :42:30. | :42:37. | |
textbook, arms I -- out to study the landing. -- steady. Into silver | :42:38. | :42:51. | |
position for the moment. Nile Wilson is leading. | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
If Frank Baines can go through his routine here, he is in with a very | :42:59. | :43:07. | |
good chance of a top three finish. Could this be his chance for an | :43:08. | :43:18. | |
individual medal? He can be guaranteed to give lovely shapes, | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
confident swinging. Nice. Legs together. In the straddle position. | :43:26. | :43:34. | |
Three releases. Spot-on. Half turn, straight to handstand. Half turn. He | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
has made it. Keeping the swing. Nice and secure. Very good change. | :43:39. | :44:02. | |
Winding up. Watch the pike and the stretch. Twist in the double, and | :44:03. | :44:12. | |
the button! -- it is on the button. Well done, Frank Baines! That would | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
make the perfect finish to these championships if Frank Baines could | :44:18. | :44:24. | |
get an individual medal. I think that he will! We have seen him so | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
good. He has gone all the way round and finally, in the last individual | :44:29. | :44:34. | |
apparatus final, it is the time for Frank Baines. He literally went all | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
the way round in that high bar, every circle was well done. And | :44:40. | :44:50. | |
enjoy it, Chris. He swings out of his catches. You let go and you have | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
to swing into the next move. He is very efficient at this. He hits a | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
perfect straight line. When you are swinging, if you have great | :45:02. | :45:15. | |
shoulders, he has good shoulders. He stalled for a second. Back into that | :45:16. | :45:22. | |
swing. Heads down. Twist in the straight shape. -- head. Easy | :45:23. | :45:33. | |
landing. Delighted for him. Got yourself a medal, I am sure of it. | :45:34. | :45:44. | |
14.566! Into silver, three to go. That is your leader, Nile Wilson. | :45:45. | :45:52. | |
Kristian Thomas, for England. He is the next gymnast. He has got the | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
difficulty. He has got a silver in vault, Gold for the team. Immaculate | :46:00. | :46:09. | |
in release, again. That is so impressive! | :46:10. | :46:24. | |
actions, but he didn't. This is superb. Into the forward swing after | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
the half term. Keep the rhythm now. That's the full term. Stand this one | :46:32. | :46:44. | |
up and he is going to be in top perch. He is going to be close! Nile | :46:45. | :46:52. | |
Wilson will be looking very closely at that! This is a real battle for | :46:53. | :47:00. | |
Commonwealth champion. It certainly is. We have seen him fall to a | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
couple of times so that was fantastic, to see him go through | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
that high bar routine -- we have seen him falter. They have done what | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
they can, it's now down to the judges. Risky work, done with such | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
security. These guys are looking really good on high bar. This is | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
really impressive, technically. When you have got the lights of Frank | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
Baines and Nile Wilson coming up behind you, it keeps you on your | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
toes. That was great stuff. The full term, catch and swing. Plenty of | :47:41. | :47:49. | |
excitement, plenty of difficulty. Such height above the bar. Great | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
technique. This, the dismount, holds the shed, | :47:52. | :48:09. | |
steadies for lending. He wants to be on his feet. Will that step be the | :48:10. | :48:20. | |
crucial factor in the placings here? It's a 14.966 four Thomas! Another | :48:21. | :48:30. | |
saw before him. -- another silver for him. Same score, so it will | :48:31. | :48:38. | |
go... It will be the Peace Corps that decides it. | :48:39. | :48:53. | |
The penultimate gymnast in this final. Could he spoil the party for | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
the Home Nations? He won't risk anything to be, I am | :49:00. | :49:08. | |
sure. Very nice start. A little bit slow coming out into | :49:09. | :49:29. | |
the inverted swings. But he's such a joy to watch, he has a lovely, | :49:30. | :49:36. | |
almost laconic style. Full twisting the double straight, he is so good | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
to watch. It was secure, it was classy, he need to score of over | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
14.566 if he is going to knock Frank Baines out of the bronze medal | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
position. It was classy work, the best I've seen him do, he has been | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
up and down on the apparatus. He has warmed up. You can always rely on | :49:57. | :50:04. | |
someone from the land of the rising Sun to produce quality work in a | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
particular rhythm and pace. It's just a question of difficulty, I | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
think. I was going to say, that was a little bit untidy, we have seen | :50:17. | :50:19. | |
the other guys do that move within these together. He had a less | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
difficult routine in qualification but he might have increased it a bit | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
because I'm sure he has a huge repertoire. | :50:29. | :50:37. | |
Smooth with a full turn. His pirouettes are very good. Sometimes | :50:38. | :50:44. | |
we see turns a bit late but he is very secure on them. Up snap, | :50:45. | :50:55. | |
turned, hand on nice and early. And then the squat dislocation move. | :50:56. | :51:04. | |
All this winning on beautiful straight arms. Accelerates over. | :51:05. | :51:22. | |
Tsukahara is in fourth. So Nile Wilson, head of Thomas, Frank Baines | :51:23. | :51:29. | |
is hanging in there. One gymnast left to go. We have seen him go all | :51:30. | :51:39. | |
out in the individual finals he has been in before and he has been in | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
before it usually doesn't hold back. That is a very sprightly start. Very | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
nicely done. One and a half turns, catching just | :51:51. | :52:10. | |
a little bit late. And there is another one. | :52:11. | :52:19. | |
He could genuinely get amongst the medals. Landed, double double. Now | :52:20. | :52:27. | |
that is a medal performance, surely, surely he's going to get | :52:28. | :52:33. | |
amongst it with that! 6.5 difficulty in convocation, it's up there. | :52:34. | :52:44. | |
14.566, the school for bronze. -- the score. And Lytwtyn, he thinks he | :52:45. | :52:49. | |
has done enough. That was a good, good landing after a difficult | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
routine. The move that amazes me is the one and a half twists, he does | :52:54. | :53:01. | |
it is a move, number 25 or something, normally you see it as | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
the first move! It takes a lot of skill. Quite clean on that. It was | :53:07. | :53:14. | |
close, he did well. There was so much in this routine. He put this in | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
towards the end of the routine! He was so secure, he was happy to do it | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
after umpteen other moves. He certainly has earned the right to a | :53:29. | :53:30. | |
medal, I'm sure the judges will give him one, this is just great. I is | :53:31. | :53:36. | |
down, setting up the twist heatedly. Double double, and not too much | :53:37. | :53:44. | |
problem on landing either. Surely a medal. These finals have been a | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
fantastic level. Fiercely contested. Look at that, | :53:50. | :54:07. | |
quietly confident. Look at that, he says. He loves it. 14.866, he has | :54:08. | :54:17. | |
got himself a bronze medal and thoroughly deserved! | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
And it looks as if my old Thomas has got himself a gold medal. What a way | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
to finish. -- mile Thomas. Will they separate the first two | :54:30. | :54:47. | |
scores? If it is execution, this man could win it on execution. The might | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
just do that. Yes, that's the point, execution, | :54:51. | :55:06. | |
because basically, Kristian put a bit more difficult routine. You | :55:07. | :55:13. | |
could see at the end, Kristian had a smile on his face, he has taken away | :55:14. | :55:21. | |
a gold and two silvers, the gymnasts have walked away in one piece and we | :55:22. | :55:28. | |
wish them all the best. We do have to mention Frank Baines. We thought | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
this was his chance, just to walk away with an individual medal and | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
what it would have meant to him. It would have meant so much, to go out | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
and do the routine right at the end of the competition, he is tired, | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
that he did his best routine of the whole competition and unfortunately | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
it wasn't meant to be. But you've got to watch. Exactly, he has learnt | :55:52. | :55:58. | |
how pick themselves up after disappointment, the coaches will be | :55:59. | :56:04. | |
looking at how he reacts. He had a really nasty accident not so long | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
ago. He really did his back in. And because of high bar, he's just a | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
little bit tentative, and to go out there and produce what he did their | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
says a lot. He had so much support from the medical and also the | :56:20. | :56:25. | |
psychological side of it, it was the dismount, got lost halfway through | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
and came down on his head, it was a severe accident but all credit to | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
everyone getting him fully fit. Talked about the parallel bars final | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
is being world-class Purdue wouldn't have seen much better even at the | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
Olympics. With the high bar, you have to take that risk, sometimes it | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
doesn't pay off. You saw the Canadian falling off, he saw Dan | :56:49. | :56:51. | |
Keatings, but he walked away with a smile on his face. Just from the | :56:52. | :56:58. | |
Home Nations, what an addition it has been to the medals table. Just | :56:59. | :57:06. | |
roughly, it is 11 gold medals, seven Silver, eight bronze. What a time we | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
have had here. It has been an absolute joy. Thank | :57:10. | :57:20. | |
you so much, plenty to celebrate. We should probably show you exactly | :57:21. | :57:23. | |
what that means a gymnastics medal table. | :57:24. | :57:44. | |
Incredible stuff, the likes of Max Whitlock, Daniel Keatings and Nile | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
Wilson have been stars. Gymnastics's new star has won the | :57:49. | :58:09. | |
most gold medals pining wish women at the games in 84 years. | :58:10. | :58:20. | |
microsecond gymnastics title and their 16th cold here in Glasgow. It | :58:21. | :58:26. | |
was the second goal of the game is for Jack Laugher. And a golden | :58:27. | :58:40. | |
double, Scotland emphatically beat England 16-8. | :58:41. | :58:47. | |
Don't forget, we're hopping over to BBC Two suing because we are heading | :58:48. | :58:55. | |
for the track and field and the appearance of a certain Usain Bolt, | :58:56. | :58:58. | |
who has made a few headlines of late. Yes he is right, the weather | :58:59. | :59:04. | |
has been a bit shower array of late but it is brightening up. We're | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
going to leave you with images from the hydro where Scotland, England | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
and Wales, it has been raining medals for them, some of the stars | :59:13. | :59:17. | |
of the future have been revealed. By bye for now. | :59:18. | :59:31. | |
This is all about Claudia There is your golden boy! Scotland's Daniel | :59:32. | :59:43. | |
Keatings! Rebecca Downey is Commonwealth champion! What a super | :59:44. | :59:54. | |
performance! Scotland go crazy. Dan Purvis, gold medal. | :59:55. | :00:01. | |
It's a golden floor routine for the golden girl. | :00:02. | :00:08. | |
When wild animals get sick, it takes radical thinking, | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
extraordinary medical skills and great bravery | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
This is routine for me. The problem is to do it on a rhinoceros. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
This is real bionic stuff, it's amazing. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
This is the trickiest ultrasound I've ever seen. | :00:24. | :00:27. |
