:00:45. > :00:54.Here comes Kelly Holmes, the crowd Great Britain get the Gold Medal!
:00:54. > :01:03.Yes, Kelly Holmes for Britain. What a performance. You are brilliant.
:01:03. > :01:13.Great Britain takes gold! What a great start for the us. They're
:01:13. > :01:23.confidence is almost frightening. What a cracking vault. It was way
:01:23. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:33.up in the rafters. That was terrific. Unbelievable. That was
:01:33. > :01:41.real powerful jam Naas ticks. -- gymnastics. She is the best we have
:01:41. > :01:48.ever seen. They have grabbed this competition by the scruff of the
:01:49. > :01:55.neck. It's job done, isn't it? The US are the world champions. Welcome
:01:55. > :01:59.to the second day of the world gymnastics championships. Yesterday
:01:59. > :02:07.it was the women's final. Our British women made history and
:02:07. > :02:12.their fifth place was the highest ever at a World Championships.
:02:12. > :02:18.Today it is the turn of the men, but can the Japanese team keep
:02:18. > :02:25.their heads, and have the British lost theirs? They didn't make the
:02:25. > :02:30.top eight. But they did start well and according to rings, vault and
:02:30. > :02:37.bar legal bars, qualifying for the Olympics was looking odds on. But
:02:37. > :02:42.hang on as one gymnast said to the other, it was time for the high bar.
:02:43. > :02:49.What did the high bar do do to you? To me, he was first up and he
:02:49. > :02:59.missed one of his moves. So I mean that was a shock. And then Dan
:02:59. > :03:01.
:03:01. > :03:08.I managed to go clean. But Chris and Sam didn't manage to pull off
:03:08. > :03:13.the routines. They are big routines, it does happen. I sensed thing were
:03:13. > :03:18.weiry. I said, come on guys, we have worked too hard. Let's not
:03:18. > :03:25.give up until it's over. And you guys were on the floor and did the
:03:25. > :03:31.best. It was quite... Good to see that no one had given up. It seems
:03:31. > :03:38.that your problems don't lie with lack of moves or ability. So what
:03:38. > :03:43.do you put the problem down to? Everyone's had a talk and no one's
:03:43. > :03:49.sure, everyone was fit and ready. Maybe it is just that we qualified
:03:49. > :03:56.fourth last year and maybe people expected too much. Did you think
:03:57. > :04:03.that you expected too much? I think everyone thought we would go
:04:03. > :04:09.through. You don't expect failure. But it can happen. I had to wait to
:04:09. > :04:14.do mine. I spent the time getting everyone going and I had to get
:04:14. > :04:18.into the zone and you know there was a few wobbles on the pommel
:04:18. > :04:23.horse and I needed to get through mine, not just for me, but for the
:04:23. > :04:31.team and I got the job done. did. And got the second highest
:04:31. > :04:36.score. I'm happy, just because of the pressure I was feeling. I
:04:36. > :04:41.landed and the relief... You know I gave Britain its fighting chance to
:04:41. > :04:47.cling on to eighth place and gave myself a chance of qualifying for
:04:47. > :04:50.the finals. You have this test after Christmas, you won't have a
:04:50. > :04:54.relaxing Christmas? No everyone was looking forward to a rest and
:04:54. > :04:58.putting on a bit of weight, Christmas pudding and that! But it
:04:59. > :05:03.will be hard going. But we are looking at the top 12 teams in the
:05:03. > :05:09.world that will make the Olympics, you're in tenth and the chances are
:05:09. > :05:14.you will do well. We came tenth with the worst competition we could
:05:14. > :05:19.have done. The fact that we can only build on this and get better.
:05:19. > :05:23.We should qualify. I don't want to say we're, because anything can
:05:23. > :05:28.happen but we have got the strongest team we have had and the
:05:29. > :05:32.boys are good. So it is all about going to that testament in January,
:05:32. > :05:38.sacrificing our Christmas puddings and you know proving that we can do
:05:38. > :05:43.it and we do want to qualify for the Olympics. The eight teams here
:05:43. > :05:49.have qualified for Olympics. We will see them in London. Joining me
:05:50. > :05:54.as always is Mitch Fenner and Christine Stiller. We are prepared
:05:54. > :06:01.to be entertained. Mitch who are you looking forward to see
:06:01. > :06:05.something It has to be Japan. Back to the days of 60s and 70s when
:06:05. > :06:10.they dominated. The atmosphere in qualification was amazing. They
:06:10. > :06:14.were working as a team. It is going to be a hot final. And Japan I
:06:14. > :06:22.think are going to take it. What about America?? The women that,
:06:22. > :06:27.seemed to have the kark is the trick oofs bullet train ariefrg. --
:06:27. > :06:32.characteristics of a bullet train arriving. You but sometimes they
:06:32. > :06:37.have been short of finesse. This team are well trained and they
:06:37. > :06:41.performed well in qualification. They beat off the challenge of the
:06:41. > :06:46.Olympic champions, China, so it will be a hot contest. This
:06:46. > :06:54.competition will be a real belter. This is thousand men's team final
:06:54. > :07:04.will play out. Three gymnasts up and all scores count. They rotate
:07:04. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:29.through six pieces of apparatus and Uchimura gets Japan's bid under way.
:07:29. > :07:33.
:07:33. > :07:38.All round world champion. Here he goes. A half twist and a half turn.
:07:38. > :07:43.A nice steady start. A little puff of the cheeks. Keeping it under
:07:43. > :07:51.control. A nice double twist. Maybe a bit deep on the landing there.
:07:51. > :07:57.Good steady start is what they need. A double pike with half turn from
:07:57. > :08:04.the Arabian approach. A touch of class there. Two and a half twist.
:08:04. > :08:14.He is, he seems to have more air time than anybody else. Incredible
:08:14. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:26.young gymnast. Lovely extension on that simple roll even. One and a
:08:26. > :08:36.half twist in one three. It sounds complicated and it is. And he made
:08:36. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:45.it look so easy. Triple twist, he goes all the way around. A little
:08:45. > :08:50.hop back, but a great start. finishes the twist, sees the floor,
:08:51. > :08:57.rolls straight out. He turns so quickly. Look how he wroops that
:08:57. > :09:02.double twist in. He sets the somersault up and he is as good on
:09:02. > :09:09.the hands as he is in the air, twisting, snaps from the floor,
:09:09. > :09:13.lifts high. Wraps in, feet locked together and this is a triple twist
:09:13. > :09:23.where many of the gymnasts lose their leg form. He meets the floor
:09:23. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:36.exactly. Marius Daniel Berbecar of Romania. Second of the Romanian
:09:36. > :09:42.vaulters at 26. A dynamic approach and he just didn't make the correct
:09:42. > :09:46.contact on the top. The block, his hands just slid along the top of
:09:46. > :09:53.the table. And very good job that he realised it was going wrong and
:09:53. > :10:03.didn't go in for the second somersault. 15.466 for Kohei
:10:03. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:15.Uchimura. What a start for Japan. Yan Mingyong, the second Chinese
:10:15. > :10:21.pommel horse routine. The first one scored 14. Classic extension at the
:10:21. > :10:26.front of the swing. Lovely body at the back. And that is a Chinese
:10:26. > :10:36.made move as well. On the handle, how long will he stay there? Very
:10:36. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:43.quick and easy. Not too complicated. Step down. This is a triple Russian.
:10:43. > :10:51.Building very nicely, not the most difficult, but this is good clean
:10:51. > :10:57.pommel swinging. A treble backwards. And here comes the dismount
:10:57. > :11:02.sequence, but that was bent arm and a bit laboured, the judges will be
:11:02. > :11:06.sharp on that. Just happy to get through that, it wasn't their best
:11:06. > :11:12.piece in qualification. It was their joint worst in qualification.
:11:12. > :11:18.High fives all around. Well, they were very iffy in qualification,
:11:18. > :11:28.the Chinese team. On most pieces of apparatus. And he has been brought
:11:28. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:35.into steady the ship I think. 14.766 for the 26-year-old. Marius
:11:35. > :11:45.Daniel Berbecar scores zero. If you continue land on your feet, feet
:11:45. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :12:01.first, then it is a zero, whatever you do. Teng Teng O'-- Teng Haibin
:12:01. > :12:06.looking for a big score. This wonderful style shows you why he
:12:06. > :12:13.has scored so well. He caught his feet on the end there. Lifts well
:12:13. > :12:18.and high. Above the pommel horse. After -- you have to travel, work
:12:18. > :12:23.on the handle, do double leg work and single leg work. And he just
:12:23. > :12:30.looks so confident here. Here is the single leg work. He breaks into
:12:30. > :12:35.it. A beautiful lift through hips at the front of the swing. And must
:12:35. > :12:40.have a difficult dismount. Pirouettes well. A very classy
:12:40. > :12:50.performance. He was Olympic champion, back in Athens. So things
:12:50. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :12:58.so far so good for Japan. Yamamuro hopes to keep things moving. He
:12:58. > :13:04.actually beat Kohei Uchimura when he was 17, but that was the last
:13:04. > :13:11.time. Now 22. Something to tell his grand children! One and a half
:13:11. > :13:16.twists, nicely done. And this guy is a ring specialist, you would
:13:16. > :13:24.never believe it. He is hopping along the floor beautifully. A
:13:24. > :13:32.double Arabian. And all the preparation coming through. Oh two
:13:33. > :13:38.and a half twist and just bounced it back a little. Two and a half
:13:38. > :13:48.twist and almost as if, well let's just calm down. And he did that
:13:48. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:56.beautifully. Rock solid. Hugely powerful. And a little look to the
:13:56. > :14:04.side just to see if the audience are appreciating what they're
:14:04. > :14:08.seeing. Here we go go. Relaxing of the shoulders. He is into the final
:14:08. > :14:14.tumble, double tuck, landed slightly low. But fla is for a
:14:14. > :14:18.third man up, they have been consistent. And so calm as well.
:14:18. > :14:22.There is an air of calmness, confidence and beauty about it.
:14:22. > :14:31.That is the thing about their approach, they have such a relaxed
:14:31. > :14:35.approach. It belies what is going on. Like the swan. Yes, but he is
:14:35. > :14:40.more dynamic than the others. He shows more character and really
:14:40. > :14:50.gave this some power. A half turn in, double front, this is a double
:14:50. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :15:01.Arabian and he kicked it out so well. 15.233 for Teng Haibin. That
:15:01. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:20.puts China into second at the Russia second, China, Romania.
:15:20. > :15:27.Brace yourself. Jonathan Horton P Still swinging his arms since first
:15:27. > :15:37.thing this morning in the hotel lobby! This guy is the definition
:15:37. > :15:42.
:15:42. > :15:48.of power. This is their first performance this final. One-and-a-
:15:48. > :15:56.half twists. One and three-quarters rolls. Nicely done. Lots of power
:15:56. > :16:01.in the flick. Two twists and two somersaults. Two-and-a-half twists.
:16:01. > :16:11.Full twist. Just little tip forward, but kept his feet. Stuck to the
:16:11. > :16:26.
:16:26. > :16:32.carpet. Oh a bit heavy on the roll the handstand. Make absolutely sure
:16:32. > :16:40.there is no deduction there's. One- and-a-half twists, against nice
:16:40. > :16:45.nailed, glued landing. Now it is telling. Accelerate through the
:16:45. > :16:51.flick, full twisting double. Hop forward but that was a gritty
:16:51. > :16:54.performance. Look at him. And a great all rounder Jonathan Horton.
:16:54. > :17:00.Third last year, but such is the strength of their team that he
:17:00. > :17:06.isn't going to make the top 24 because two of his team-mates beat
:17:06. > :17:13.him and you are only allowed to in a final. But floor is a good piece
:17:13. > :17:19.for him. See, by having two difficult somersaults in that one
:17:19. > :17:24.run he lifts his difficulty all the we did see his bobble out, which
:17:24. > :17:29.the judges will deduct for. This, the full twist. In the double back
:17:29. > :17:33.position. Pulls the legs in tightly. As Mitch said, the chest was well
:17:34. > :17:40.done on -- down on landing. Which will lose him a few marks, but he
:17:40. > :17:50.was happy, as an opener. dismount is low and flat. But he
:17:50. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:53.did it and he didn't let the team down. Philipp Boy for Germany. Keep
:17:53. > :18:03.your eye on them throughout the competition because they could be
:18:03. > :18:07.the dark horse. Hi will need a steady performance. He has done the
:18:07. > :18:15.single leg work. Made contact a couple of times with the horse, but
:18:15. > :18:24.he is really moving now. Little flair with the arm off to the side,
:18:24. > :18:28.very difficult work. Really holding his form. Moving along the horse.
:18:28. > :18:34.He has to keep the hands parallel as he works. Has to make this
:18:34. > :18:39.dismount. Gosh, that will be quite a big de duckion, he used strength
:18:39. > :18:49.rather than swing to get up into the handstand. You could see it all.
:18:49. > :18:55.
:18:55. > :18:58.USA start with a 14.966. The first sixth so he will be seeing him in
:18:58. > :19:08.the floor final again. He was eighth the last World Championships
:19:08. > :19:21.
:19:21. > :19:27.on floor. Very nice opener. Extra Whip over. One-and-a-half twists in
:19:27. > :19:37.straight roll out, beautifully done. And this is very impressive so far.
:19:37. > :19:37.
:19:37. > :19:42.Two-and-a-half twists, I tell you, number two man up, he's certainly
:19:42. > :19:52.keeping the momentum as far as the USA team are concerned. Every inch
:19:52. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :20:02.of the floor, so important. Scuttling little run. Double twist
:20:02. > :20:04.
:20:04. > :20:08.the corner to get his breath back. Pull hard. Double pike to finish, a
:20:08. > :20:18.little skip forward. That was really good stuff. Look at that.
:20:18. > :20:25.
:20:25. > :20:35.That sums it up. My word. It has auld always been a tricky piece for
:20:35. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:47.the Germans.. Steven Legendre's score. 15.566. Jacob Dalton up now.
:20:47. > :20:56.Steven Legendre just bagged the highest score on floor. Let us see
:20:56. > :21:06.if they have kept the best to last. Unusual move there. Lovely height.
:21:06. > :21:11.On the one and three-quarters to roll out. Fabulous control there. I
:21:11. > :21:15.thought he hadn't got quite enough room for the second somersault but
:21:15. > :21:25.he measured it to perfection. Has to hold this. Just little bobble
:21:25. > :21:35.
:21:35. > :21:45.roll out again. Has to be a smooth roll out. Two-and-a-half, into full
:21:45. > :21:48.
:21:48. > :21:52.twisting front. He's very precise flip. Lovely triple twist. Many of
:21:52. > :21:56.the gymnasts using that as their final tumble and performing it so
:21:56. > :21:59.well. This was the American's best piece of rap us the in
:21:59. > :22:09.qualification. I think what they are doing is try to put as much gap
:22:09. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:14.between them and the Japanese from the early stages. Let us have a
:22:14. > :22:18.look at Igor Radivilov. I can see a seven difficulty so this will be a
:22:18. > :22:25.tough vault. The double front with the half turn out. He left that
:22:25. > :22:32.very late. How did he land that? Well he did and he got 16.166, the
:22:32. > :22:38.highest vault score so far. Well done that man! Jacob Dalton, 15.5.
:22:38. > :22:43.United States in behind the Ukraine at the moment. Right, so here we go.
:22:43. > :22:47.The Ukraine, US, Japan currently this third, followed up by Russia,
:22:47. > :22:54.Germany a bit down, one of their gymnasts fell off the pommel horse
:22:54. > :22:58.and a bit of ground to make up there. Russia's an on the
:22:58. > :23:08.Golotsutskov propelled his team ahead with a strong vault score.
:23:08. > :23:08.
:23:08. > :23:14.But that paleed in comparison with Coria's Hak Seon Yang. On the
:23:14. > :23:16.pommel horse the United States are used to struggling, but a series of
:23:16. > :23:22.excellent performances capped off by Alexnader Naddour kept them in
:23:22. > :23:32.the hunt for the world title. But Japan's medal hopes on home soil
:23:32. > :23:35.looked in tattered after a torrid time for Kenya Kobayashi. Japan
:23:35. > :23:41.dropped to fifth by the end of rotation with Russia leading the
:23:41. > :23:51.way on 90.356, ahead of Coria and the US, with China unexpectedly
:23:51. > :23:53.
:23:53. > :23:59.down in sixth. Russia continued to impress in rotation three, as 19 -
:23:59. > :24:06.year-old David Belyavskiy scored highly. China last kick-started
:24:06. > :24:16.their world title vault thanks to this attempt which earned 16.3. It
:24:16. > :24:21.
:24:21. > :24:29.was a similar story for Japan on rings as Koji Yamamuro scored
:24:29. > :24:35.highly. The US still in touch in sixth place on a tightly bunched
:24:35. > :24:39.leaderboard but Russia hold the lead with 137.47 ahead of China and
:24:39. > :24:42.core ya. By the end of rotation four the four strongest teams will
:24:43. > :24:52.have completed the high scoring vault. Back to Mitch, Christine and
:24:53. > :25:07.
:25:07. > :25:13.Myun Kim. -- Coria. Not the happiest of outings in qualifying.
:25:13. > :25:18.Let us see if they can put it right. Oh, they have done it again. That
:25:18. > :25:21.is exactly what the problem was. Such a difficult skill to time. You
:25:21. > :25:27.have to bounce through the shoulders at the top of the bar and
:25:27. > :25:31.he was a country mile away from it. He was commit my Lord to the
:25:31. > :25:35.landing wasn't he than the actual bar. He spotted the floor about
:25:35. > :25:43.half an hour ago! In that situation, you have got to bail out. You have
:25:43. > :25:53.to save your neck and he did that well, but... That's good night
:25:53. > :26:04.
:26:05. > :26:10.Vienna as far as Korean hopes are thaition but he will be down graded
:26:10. > :26:20.on the next so they are making hay why while they can. -- while they
:26:20. > :26:24.can. A little bit late. That is nicely out this time. It is
:26:24. > :26:31.academic but he will want to land it, and he did it. Just a little
:26:31. > :26:37.pace forward on the double, double. Such a shame. Could have been a big
:26:37. > :26:42.difficulty score if he had nailed that one. So here we are, USA on
:26:42. > :26:47.vault. Double front with half turn but were his feet right round? We
:26:47. > :26:53.would knee a bit of a replay to see that, to see whether they will give
:26:53. > :26:56.the half turn. He turned it very late indeed. Way off centre as well.
:26:56. > :27:00.Big push, was late but look, he didn't really get the turn round.
:27:00. > :27:06.He was way out of control at the end. You can see where the tenths
:27:06. > :27:13.are going to go. He has not completed it. That will be a
:27:13. > :27:23.deduction. Then he will get another 0.8 for travelling to the side.
:27:23. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:33.Steven Legendre 16.166. He is all right. Two more vaulters to go. So,
:27:33. > :27:42.13 point 566. He went for the big release. It didn't come off. Still
:27:42. > :27:50.too more to go for Korea. Over to parallel bars. The European
:27:50. > :27:59.champion. That lovely line in handstand, very efficient, double
:27:59. > :28:05.back somersault. All but the feet came apart, and it just looks a
:28:05. > :28:12.little bit hurried and it is hurried and really not settled at
:28:12. > :28:17.all, the German team. It is not going their way. We have seen them
:28:17. > :28:23.so composed and confident, but he didn't let the bars with work with
:28:23. > :28:32.him. He snatched tat move. Had that first call on pommel horse and they
:28:32. > :28:35.have been fighting it ever since. Yes. They were similar in
:28:35. > :28:41.qualification but they have good style and difficult work, that even
:28:41. > :28:51.though they were losing marks for falls, they were gaining in
:28:51. > :28:52.
:28:52. > :29:01.difficulty, but that really won't be a good score at all. Jonathan
:29:01. > :29:04.Horton P It is a big vault. He will stick it. Oh and he didn't. Bailed
:29:04. > :29:09.it out. That is an awful four points landing and he is not happy
:29:09. > :29:13.with that. He is normally so reliable. That will be, well, with
:29:13. > :29:17.an all four point, it has to be a whole mark off. I would have
:29:17. > :29:23.thought so. He lifted high, but just didn't really have the
:29:24. > :29:30.rotation, did it. It stalled as he half turned. Went for the same
:29:30. > :29:33.vault as his team-mate and Marian Dragulescu proving not to be the
:29:33. > :29:40.friend of the American team. They feel this is better to land because
:29:40. > :29:44.they see the floor. But you have to have the rotation. 15.266. It is
:29:44. > :29:54.going to be costly. He doesn't need telling. He is now going to go and
:29:54. > :30:04.boil his head. He is very upset. 13.366 for Germany, Marcel Nguyen.
:30:04. > :30:36.
:30:36. > :30:44.solid first two tumble runs. Two and a half twists. Skipping across
:30:44. > :30:52.the floor with great confidence. He just presses a button and out come
:30:53. > :31:02.the legs. Beautiful rl -- control on the roll out. Form held. Change
:31:03. > :31:22.
:31:22. > :31:27.enough that is a question for the judges to answer. Triple twist, hit
:31:27. > :31:37.the ground a little bit deep. I like his work and his approach, he
:31:37. > :31:39.
:31:39. > :31:43.is sharp and business-like. He is building a lot of experience.
:31:43. > :31:50.think Ukraine are quietly going about their business and could
:31:50. > :32:00.cause a bit of a surprise here. He is a very efficient gymnast, isn't
:32:00. > :32:02.
:32:02. > :32:12.he? No gymics, just good, confident work. -- gimmicks. Stylish and
:32:12. > :32:14.
:32:14. > :32:24.clean. A very light touch. That triple twist effortlessly performed.
:32:24. > :32:29.
:32:29. > :32:37.14.633. So the United States, Ukraine, Korea and Germany. Here we
:32:38. > :32:47.go with Japan on vault. Kohei Uchimura. This is the only final
:32:48. > :32:51.
:32:51. > :32:58.that he didn't make. You see the runway there. Difficulty is 6.6. So
:32:58. > :33:04.this vault will be marked out of 16.6. Points deducted for execution
:33:04. > :33:10.from tenth. Those scores added together. You would never believe
:33:10. > :33:15.looking at that face that he is at the end of a runway in the World
:33:15. > :33:20.Championships. You would think he is in training. Kohei Uchimura
:33:20. > :33:26.aiming for absolute perfection. Hones in on the target and he is
:33:26. > :33:33.off. Carefully measured run. Carefully performed round off.
:33:33. > :33:38.Lifts in the air, two and a half twists, absolute precision. What a
:33:38. > :33:43.start. The world watched Jonny Wilkinson lining up with his
:33:43. > :33:50.routine and I bet you will see other people doing that arm thing.
:33:50. > :33:55.That arm thing was effective. He was dead centre. You can see the
:33:55. > :33:59.approach, very square on the horse, a beautiful spin in the air, a tiny
:33:59. > :34:04.bit off to one side. But just clicks around. Beautifully donen't
:34:04. > :34:09.just what they need and he was cool at the end of the runway. Focused
:34:09. > :34:16.during the vault. Look at this - snaps through twists and now he can
:34:16. > :34:21.relax a bit. There you go. Makes you wonder how he didn't make the
:34:21. > :34:28.vault final. I suspect he Close not to, because you have to do two
:34:28. > :34:38.different vaults and I suspect he thought five finals were enough.
:34:38. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:52.China, behind Russia. Zhang Chenglong the first one up. He
:34:52. > :34:55.qualified third for the parallel bars final. Dangerous the make any
:34:55. > :35:03.predictions, when the Chinese approach parallel bars. Because
:35:03. > :35:10.they are the acknowledged masters of this apparatus. That is such a
:35:10. > :35:17.solid, look at that, beautiful, a somersault with a full turnment and
:35:17. > :35:25.the same move without a turn. Immensely difficult. Lost his legs
:35:25. > :35:35.a bit. But I tell you what, this is what it's about. They're really
:35:35. > :35:36.
:35:36. > :35:40.going well. Excellent technique. A double pike and he didn't move, but
:35:40. > :35:50.he dropped his chest to bring it under control. That is great stuff.
:35:50. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :35:59.Is it enough to go ahead of Russia? Time will tell. Two more to go.
:35:59. > :36:09.Uech 16.2 for vault. You sense the team spirit carrying them through.
:36:09. > :36:22.
:36:22. > :36:28.Warming up the shoulders. Ready for high bar. Sergey Khorokhordin next.
:36:28. > :36:35.He is tall enough, but he doesn't need any help. That was a simple
:36:35. > :36:43.half turn and a one arm giant and that was out a bit late. He winds
:36:43. > :36:50.up, a big stoop. A lovely swing out of it and the full twist, the
:36:50. > :36:57.somersault and full twist. Now swings in the forward grip, full
:36:57. > :37:04.pirouette into the hop over the bar. He's really kept his swing going
:37:04. > :37:09.well. The close element, the endo, just a bit snatched on that turn.
:37:09. > :37:18.They have to show long swings, close swings, big dismounts that.
:37:18. > :37:25.Was efficient work. Russia doing their best to stay ahead of China.
:37:25. > :37:35.15.6. A big score. It is all to play for, boys. Keep up the good
:37:35. > :37:35.
:37:35. > :37:40.work. It is not a fair contest, you know. Chinese parallel bars against
:37:40. > :37:50.Russian high bar. It is a tall order to try and stave off the
:37:50. > :37:57.
:37:57. > :38:07.challenge. But we will see. Next to face that challenge is Chen Yibing.
:38:07. > :38:09.
:38:09. > :38:15.-- Teng Haibin he was second in the last World Championships. A lovely
:38:15. > :38:24.clean line. A double pike and kicked it out. So very impressive
:38:24. > :38:29.opener. A half turn and another one. This time without. Oh! That is a
:38:29. > :38:34.problem, but he keeps the swing going. How, I don't know. Let's see
:38:34. > :38:41.if he puts in another move to try and make up the damage with more
:38:41. > :38:45.difficulty. But how he kept going, I don't know. Will he lose the
:38:45. > :38:50.value of that move? Oh yeah, for sure. He may stick in another one
:38:50. > :38:55.if he has the presence of mind. But the damage is still done. It will
:38:55. > :39:01.still be deducted. He is lovely and clean. But he kicks out from the
:39:01. > :39:06.double pike. Now he has made it interesting. No doubt Russia will
:39:06. > :39:16.have seen that. Sergey Khorokhordin scores 14.8 for high bar. A good
:39:16. > :39:22.
:39:22. > :39:28.score for him. Can they hang on in there? Yamamuro. Going for the big
:39:28. > :39:32.vault. The tribl twist off the half turn, a big vault. A little
:39:32. > :39:39.deduction on the step on landing, but he is impressed with himself.
:39:39. > :39:48.Japan seem to be doing enough to stay ahead of the rest of the world.
:39:48. > :39:53.Very, very clo kused, -- focused, determined, he didn't faulter. This
:39:53. > :40:00.is a massive vault. Smacked the head in, keep the shoulders tight.
:40:00. > :40:07.Make sure that twist goes all the way around. It is a long, long way.
:40:07. > :40:17.Almost ran out of air, but kept twisting and took a pace to get
:40:17. > :40:21.
:40:21. > :40:31.secure. A good, strong vault. for difficulty, 16.4 for Yamamuro.
:40:31. > :40:37.
:40:37. > :40:47.So far, so very good. Teng Haibin 16.166. A costly clout on the
:40:47. > :40:54.
:40:55. > :41:04.parallel bars. Emin Garibov for Russia. A nice line. That is nice
:41:05. > :41:05.
:41:06. > :41:09.too. A full turn, into the combination that we all know by now
:41:09. > :41:15.and he didn't lose the shape on the swing. This is not the most
:41:15. > :41:21.difficult, but he is keeping the swing pure and clean. A bit late on
:41:22. > :41:31.the one and a half turns. Another one and that was very late. It took
:41:32. > :41:39.
:41:39. > :41:43.him out of line. Nicely out of the turn. Very impressive swing. A
:41:43. > :41:53.double, double, a little pace forward. That is a promising
:41:53. > :41:57.
:41:57. > :42:07.youngster. Well can Russia go ahead of the United States? 15.466 will
:42:07. > :42:08.
:42:08. > :42:18.go a long way to help them. This is the last of the Chinese gymnasts on
:42:18. > :42:22.
:42:22. > :42:31.the parallel bars. Zhe Feng. A lot of strength. Beautiful line. Toes
:42:31. > :42:39.to fingers. Tightly tucked somersault. Knees locked together.
:42:40. > :42:46.And again. Really shows the wonderful control at the top of the
:42:46. > :42:56.swing. Just that tiny bit of a split on the legs. And the full
:42:56. > :43:00.
:43:00. > :43:05.pirouette. High front somersault. Nicely done in the full turn.
:43:05. > :43:13.Controlled in the turns. You can see the back is absolutely flat the
:43:13. > :43:18.whole time. This routine is packed with difficulty. Just needs a good
:43:18. > :43:23.dismount and it gets it. That really was a tremendous performance,
:43:23. > :43:28.having seen your team mate fall. What more would you expect from the
:43:28. > :43:33.current world parallel bars champion? The highest qualifier.
:43:33. > :43:38.What out Russia. It is up in the air this one. It is great. This is
:43:38. > :43:42.what the sport is all about. It is a nail-biert. He has some skill. --
:43:42. > :43:48.biter. He has some skill. That is so difficult to go from upper arms
:43:48. > :43:53.into a double tuck. Bristling with difficulty. Lovely technique. Again
:43:53. > :44:02.with a half turn and a little flicker at the top. The double pike
:44:02. > :44:09.was a little deep, but that was a good performance. Yes, he said.
:44:09. > :44:15.needs upper 16 to take the lead. So close. Japan, Russia, United States.
:44:15. > :44:24.Are are China going to sit among that lot? The judges are keeping us
:44:24. > :44:30.waiting. They know it's tight and are watching every movement of the
:44:30. > :44:36.score board. You can feel the tension in the arena. It would be
:44:36. > :44:46.amazing if he breaks 16. It is a rare mark on parallel bars. But he
:44:46. > :44:47.
:44:47. > :44:55.is a great worker on the bars. They call him Mr P Bars. He has got
:44:55. > :45:05.15.666. Is not not enough. China into third. Japan leading Russia by
:45:05. > :45:18.
:45:18. > :45:28.0n't be 07! -- by 0.07. It is tight last couple of pieces. Romania
:45:28. > :45:48.
:45:48. > :45:53.bring up the rear. Teng will be the World Championship title. Can they
:45:53. > :45:59.hold on to the bar. I will tell you a story, 2003 this man had a hit
:45:59. > :46:05.high bar for China to hold on to the lead and he did. So let's just
:46:05. > :46:11.see... Eight years on, whether he can do the same job. Good in the
:46:11. > :46:18.cat chev. Rescues the swing. Lovely line. Rybalko. That is one-and-a-
:46:18. > :46:28.half turns. A bit flutry with the feet. He is OK through the turn. So
:46:28. > :46:32.
:46:32. > :46:37.the combination is going well. A bit ragged there. Nicely out on the
:46:37. > :46:43.squat there. Hops round the top of the bar. If he nails this he has
:46:43. > :46:53.done his job. He has done his job indeed. Now then, he has Olympic
:46:53. > :47:04.
:47:04. > :47:08.champion and the World Champion to follow. Over the parallel bars.
:47:08. > :47:18.first of two brothers. He is 21- year-old his older brother will
:47:18. > :47:21.
:47:21. > :47:31.follow him. Something special in the making this gymnast. Beautiful
:47:31. > :47:32.
:47:32. > :47:42.technique. Leisurely. Every handstand hit and held. Out on to
:47:42. > :47:43.
:47:43. > :47:53.the one hand, the one bar. Almost touched his feet. What a lovely
:47:53. > :47:54.
:47:54. > :48:00.turn. Everything looks so in control. So measured. The dismount
:48:00. > :48:06.as well, that is the answer. That is the answer to the first Chinese
:48:06. > :48:16.performance, absolutely es it. Well Well, the roof almost came off in
:48:16. > :48:18.
:48:18. > :48:25.here then! David Belyavskiy. Looks nervous. Only 19. A lot of pressure
:48:25. > :48:34.on this lad's shoulders. Just tenth in it. Russia, locking to hold on
:48:35. > :48:40.to a medal but what colour? At this stage, nobody knows. But time will
:48:40. > :48:47.tell. Looking. A tough piece to get a good score on but that is lofty,
:48:47. > :48:55.lovely in the double. That will turn into the double salto. High
:48:55. > :49:05.again. One-and-a-half twists, one and three-quarter, no problem with
:49:05. > :49:09.
:49:09. > :49:19.it. Power through the flick. It looks so easy. Good clean in the
:49:19. > :49:22.
:49:22. > :49:27.under control in the difficult C lift to handstand. He has his
:49:27. > :49:37.nerves under control. Here we go again. Lofty, two-and-a-half twist,
:49:37. > :49:43.
:49:43. > :49:51.but bounced forward, that could be got it round but quite a hop back,
:49:51. > :50:01.so a bit expensive. Marks on floor are hard to combination. Teng
:50:01. > :50:05.
:50:05. > :50:15.scored 15.1 for his high bar. Tanaka 15.333. So Japan performance
:50:15. > :50:27.
:50:27. > :50:31.for performance are ahead. Tanaka and China being held for very long
:50:31. > :50:41.time. The tension is mounting. Everybody is on the edge of their
:50:41. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:53.seats here. Tanaka senior. Can he keep his composure and keep Japan
:50:53. > :50:59.
:51:00. > :51:06.straight lined handstand. Just a tiny bit of a fidget there, but
:51:06. > :51:14.very nice difficult work. You can hear the audience and team-mates
:51:14. > :51:24.cheering every success. Double pike somersault. Oh, and he just had a
:51:24. > :51:24.
:51:24. > :51:31.little bit of a fight on that turn. Played it too casually. Recovered
:51:31. > :51:38.excellently into the Somme salt. Lovely half turn. Control on that
:51:38. > :51:45.one handle. Smoothly past the bar, into handstand showing all that
:51:45. > :51:50.control. Shoulders back, lift into the double pike somersault. Well it
:51:50. > :51:57.really is a case of brothers in arms. As Japan's fate lies in the
:51:57. > :52:03.hands of the Tanaka family. Well, what a nail biter this is and we
:52:03. > :52:06.still have one apparatus to go. But he did falter. Lovely line, he
:52:06. > :52:13.understands so well the technique in the end somersault. Keep the
:52:13. > :52:18.chest in, strong with the arms. Tiny adjustment there, lovely
:52:18. > :52:23.double pike, kicking out to make sure the swing into up rice and he
:52:23. > :52:29.took his time on the pirouette and almost lost his body shape. Tidyed
:52:30. > :52:39.it up at the end. Well, a little pop of the Chinooks, that will tell
:52:39. > :52:48.you, "I'm glad that is out of the way." Not as high as it needs to be.
:52:49. > :52:53.Second 19-year-old for Russia. important to stay under control. It
:52:53. > :53:00.is not over yet. A weak start in the low to mid 14s and he is
:53:00. > :53:07.skipping a bit out of his landings. Plenty of acceleration there.
:53:07. > :53:11.Through the twists. He has got to get steady on his feet. Full twist
:53:11. > :53:21.in the front somersault to roll out. Making it one and three-quarters.
:53:21. > :53:30.
:53:30. > :53:39.Now, big test of his nerves. Did he hold it long enough. Very deep
:53:39. > :53:43.landing. That is better. Two-and-a- half twists. Into the Somme salt.
:53:43. > :53:51.You have to wonder, he cannot afford fi more paces and there
:53:51. > :54:01.someone to the side there from the triple. -- somersault. It is tough
:54:01. > :54:09.
:54:09. > :54:13.on floor to get a decent score you know. Tanaka senior scores 15.5.
:54:13. > :54:18.Uchimura is third on this piece of apparatus in the World
:54:18. > :54:28.Championships. He has been so consistent so far. Just keep
:54:28. > :54:37.everything crossed for him. straddle to handstand, just kills
:54:37. > :54:42.is swing enough to be able to make them turn. Double somersault,
:54:42. > :54:47.catches on the up ever arms, and the dudge double pike somersault
:54:47. > :54:55.from a different entry that time from the long swing. Makes that cut
:54:55. > :55:01.look so easy, the straddle round the arms. Swings well out of all
:55:01. > :55:08.the catches, and that is the Somme salt with a half turn, straight
:55:08. > :55:13.into another huge straddle front somersault. Such an exciting high
:55:13. > :55:19.bar routine. I hon industry think we are looking at the finest all
:55:19. > :55:23.round gymnast there has ever been. He sun believable.. He is an all
:55:23. > :55:29.round gymnast but he is a team man too. He is not thinking about his
:55:29. > :55:36.own glory, he is thinking about the team and he has produced work which
:55:36. > :55:43.has done smem so good. Russia 15.533 for their final floor
:55:43. > :55:53.routine. It says first there but don't count that because Uchimura's
:55:53. > :56:00.
:56:00. > :56:03.score hasn't come in. Olympic gold medallist. A lot on his shoulders.
:56:04. > :56:09.Controversial winner he was in Beijing, with twisting his way, but
:56:09. > :56:17.he has put some somersaults in and I know for a fact he can do a 7.5
:56:17. > :56:24.difficulty with a high score but that was a bit loose. Oh and again
:56:24. > :56:33.struggled a bit. He is keeping the swing and the connections. It is
:56:33. > :56:38.top drawer. Another straight without the twist. A bit flat from
:56:38. > :56:47.the handstand. Double, double and he landed it beautifully. A good
:56:47. > :56:53.number three man. He has just followed a 16.2 for China. That is
:56:53. > :57:03.a massive score on high bar. We are usually pleased if they get to a 15.
:57:03. > :57:08.
:57:08. > :57:18.Let alone a 16. ZOU. China have scored nor ploughsly on high bar..
:57:18. > :57:19.
:57:19. > :57:24.It is a 15.366 for Uchimura. -- enormously. We are on to the second
:57:24. > :57:33.half of the rotation. America really the only threat, but
:57:33. > :57:43.slightly off the pace. John Orozco. He is the first gymnast up on to
:57:43. > :57:46.
:57:46. > :57:52.parallel bars. A lot of pressure on this young gymnast. Very good on
:57:52. > :57:56.the support pieces. Oh, and he missed that hand. He recovered so
:57:56. > :58:03.well. Snuck the hand on before anyone could worry, and the front
:58:03. > :58:13.somersault with half turn, he also has a really good handstand line.
:58:13. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:19.That was immensely high. And that was well lifted above the bars.
:58:19. > :58:25.Smooth in his pirouetting. Lovely straight body all the time. No loss
:58:25. > :58:31.of tension at all. Lovely height and no step on landing. He has
:58:31. > :58:40.certainly opened well for USA. to be in the 15s that one. Lovely
:58:40. > :58:45.work. Oleg Verniaiev for Ukraine, and that won't get the difficulty.
:58:45. > :58:55.He had a pause on the way and again that won't get it either. Tried two
:58:55. > :58:59.Ds and he won't get either of them. So, Ukraine fading a little. We
:58:59. > :59:09.were talking them up a couple of pieces ago, but it is tough out
:59:09. > :59:16.
:59:16. > :59:20.the way round on the triple Russian. Slapping the horse, just to make
:59:20. > :59:30.sure what, his hand are wide apart on the placements. He will be
:59:30. > :59:36.
:59:36. > :59:46.hammered by the E score judges there. 15.233 for John Orozco. Next
:59:46. > :59:49.
:59:49. > :59:54.fifth in the challenge is Jonathan Horton. 15.28 needed from the USA
:59:54. > :00:04.to get into the bronze medal position. Such a businesslike
:00:04. > :00:14.
:00:14. > :00:20.gymnast. Get straight on with the Very smooth. Into a pirouette.
:00:20. > :00:27.Lovely turns. He's really working the apparatus well. Holding his
:00:27. > :00:32.style. Lifting into the dismount. They could do it. They could snatch
:00:32. > :00:42.a bronze. That average of yours is within striking distance. Oh this
:00:42. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:53.is good stuff! Ukraine 13.866. Big smiles. I think he enjoyed himself.
:00:53. > :00:59.We are in for a treat, Fabian Hambuechen on high bar. Well even
:00:59. > :01:06.though they're not in a shout for a medal, this will be entertaining.
:01:06. > :01:13.Starts with the forward swing. A half turn. You see him wind it up
:01:13. > :01:18.into the full twist. Caught a bit close and he had to bend his arms.
:01:18. > :01:25.And links it into a one and a half pirouette and another front
:01:25. > :01:30.somersault. Really packing the difficulty in. And of course it's
:01:30. > :01:35.move after move without these swings that really adds the
:01:35. > :01:40.difficulty up. The full pirouette into the hop over the bar. And
:01:41. > :01:46.another hop and turn. Changes the shape, lifts into the dismount,
:01:46. > :01:50.double twist, a lot of height. A classy routine. He was third in the
:01:50. > :01:55.high bar in the last World Championships. Just outside the
:01:55. > :02:05.medals at the Olympics, but yes, that is his piece. He is just happy
:02:05. > :02:05.
:02:05. > :02:10.that he has entertained the crowd. Great spirit out there.
:02:10. > :02:20.question everyone's asking is what has Horton scored? It is 15, it is
:02:20. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:31.down on the average that is needed. Here is Danell Leyva. The king of
:02:31. > :02:36.the swingers. We're used to him producing good high bar. Look at
:02:36. > :02:42.that, full turn from the peach. Then a good somersault technique.
:02:42. > :02:51.One and a half turns. That is very difficult. Then into a full. He is
:02:51. > :02:56.swinging it as if he is on the high bar. A -- on the high bar - amazing.
:02:56. > :03:04.He skips into a double pike on the skip back. A couple of loose areas
:03:04. > :03:14.there. But the swing, it was if he was on high bar. He scored 15.36 in
:03:14. > :03:25.
:03:25. > :03:29.qualification. 15.866. And well deserved. 15. 36, the same as what
:03:29. > :03:36.he scored in qualification. The average will have to rise, but they
:03:36. > :03:41.can do this. They can do this. So this is how things look. China lead,
:03:41. > :03:51.Japan 0.6 behind them. But they have strength as well. They will do
:03:51. > :04:02.
:04:03. > :04:07.counts at this stage. John Orozco, the first gymnast for the United
:04:07. > :04:12.States to swing the high bar. He qualifyed with the fourth highest
:04:12. > :04:18.score on this piece of apparatus. So should be feeling confident and
:04:18. > :04:28.look at that full twisting move with the leg straight and together.
:04:28. > :04:30.
:04:30. > :04:36.Very original work. Shoots out to that full pirouette. Smoothly into
:04:36. > :04:42.the forward swing. There we go with the half turn and lovely height on
:04:42. > :04:45.the stooped move. It is a skill he understands well. Good lift, full
:04:45. > :04:50.twisting, double straight. He didn't stay on there for hours, so
:04:50. > :04:54.he didn't give lots of marks away. That was a clever routine. I don't
:04:54. > :04:58.know if he could have done much better, Mitch? Beautifully
:04:58. > :05:04.performed, it will be way down on difficulty, but you know to do wit
:05:04. > :05:10.that sort of style, he will get eight or nine. Has done a great job.
:05:10. > :05:17.Look at this. Full twist. Mesmerising, that move. Yes it is
:05:18. > :05:23.lovely to see it. And there, full twist in the double straight.
:05:23. > :05:30.Travelled a bit. But he didn't make a mistake with the landing. Look at
:05:30. > :05:36.the team. The team went higher than he did on his dusmoipbt then!
:05:36. > :05:43.a find -- dismount then! What a find he is for the United States.
:05:43. > :05:47.How well he has handled the pressure A very young Jim nast. Not
:05:47. > :05:57.very experienced. Gone out first on a couple of the pieces for the
:05:57. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:09.United States. 15.366. The same score as Leyva on parallel bars.
:06:09. > :06:15.Jonathan Horton for the United States. America's penultimate
:06:15. > :06:20.performance. It lies in the hands of the Olympic Silver Medallist
:06:20. > :06:25.from 2008. Wh a performance that was. He is capable of bringing it
:06:25. > :06:31.through again. A bit awry on the turn, but now he is into his
:06:31. > :06:36.favourite zone, the release zone. Full twist. There is another one
:06:36. > :06:46.coming up. That time without the twist. It is fantastic. Sit down
:06:46. > :06:46.
:06:46. > :06:53.Matt! Oh slam -- oh! It was a bit wild, but he is bringing it
:06:53. > :07:03.together, full turn into the combination. Now, this is real
:07:03. > :07:07.nail-bight stuff. Setting up the dismount. Full twist and the double
:07:07. > :07:12.straight. He went and played a bit safe on the dismount. What
:07:12. > :07:17.captain's job. He has -- he is absolutely delighted with it.
:07:17. > :07:23.a way to try 5gt your hands on a medal. That was something else. Oh
:07:24. > :07:28.yes he said! He enjoy it as much as me. He lives his emotions. So and
:07:28. > :07:38.many of the gymnasts don't let you see their emotions, but he does and
:07:38. > :07:38.
:07:38. > :07:45.you feel it for him. Oh I love this! Like you say, Mitch, a
:07:45. > :07:52.relatively easy dismount. He wasn't going to chance any mistakes.
:07:52. > :08:02.Jonathan Horton 15.366. They're very consistent with their scoring,
:08:02. > :08:03.
:08:03. > :08:08.they both scored exactly the same. Leyva, another entertainer on the
:08:08. > :08:17.high bar. Surprisingly didn't qualify for the high bar routine.
:08:17. > :08:24.It is the final he didn't make. has got a big swing. He is taurl
:08:24. > :08:31.and swings with real style. Look at the height: -- tall. Now he has got
:08:31. > :08:41.to be precise. Yes, he is, the arms are out to show how easy the move
:08:41. > :08:47.it. Full turn as well. But that was costly, the bent arms. He swings
:08:47. > :08:50.forward. A lovely turn. Into the stooped catch. This time more
:08:50. > :08:57.cleanly caught. One and a half turns. He is packing all the
:08:57. > :09:04.difficulty in. Lovely dislocation through the shoulders. And the full
:09:04. > :09:09.turn. Really striving for difficulty. Look how he pops up
:09:09. > :09:15.above the bar. Lovely double twist. Double straight. Fantastic way for
:09:15. > :09:20.the United States to finish. Wow, that is the end of the competition
:09:20. > :09:28.for America! And... A massive clap of the hands. What team job. You
:09:28. > :09:35.just have sit and wait. That was unbelievable.Less such an elegant
:09:35. > :09:43.gymnast, splays the arms to the side. Almost arrogant. But it was
:09:43. > :09:49.beautiful to watch. The full twist a bit wild and he had to as we say,
:09:49. > :09:56.graunch his way out of it. A double at the end and what a landing. Pin
:09:56. > :10:06.point. While the Americans are swinging from the roof, a 15.533
:10:06. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:40.high scores on the floor. But Feng Zhe can do it. He has got an
:10:40. > :10:45.enormous amount of pressure on him at the moment. Good start, full
:10:45. > :10:53.twist in the double straight. Just a pace back. A shrug of the
:10:53. > :10:59.shoulders. Get on with the job. Double twist into full twist front
:10:59. > :11:05.from the hand spring. Can't afford any obvious errors, those lilt skip
:11:05. > :11:14.backs, they all add up. -- little skip backs. A half turn into the
:11:14. > :11:20.one and three quarter roll. Chest in, looked to be clear of the floor.
:11:20. > :11:26.A nice strong swing. Straight from the pom erl horse. Hesitation on
:11:26. > :11:32.the way up. -- pommel horse. It has got to be two seconds from the
:11:32. > :11:38.second you stop moving in the hand stand. So that could be quite hairy.
:11:38. > :11:44.A little bobble in the one and three quarter roll. A few errors.
:11:44. > :11:54.Nothing major as yet. Full twist in the double, a skip to the side, a
:11:54. > :11:57.
:11:57. > :12:04.bit low on landing. All these things count. All important.
:12:04. > :12:11.more Chinese then to go. And here we go. The competition is well on.
:12:11. > :12:21.Japan on high bar. And guess what? It falls to the Tanaka brothers
:12:21. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:34.again. Got to keep their composure. Kazuhito Tanaka the first of the
:12:34. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:43.brothers to swing the bar. Lovely straight line. Hits the top of the
:12:43. > :12:47.swing beautifully and that is a really straight move. A lovely
:12:47. > :12:57.extension through the hips. He slows the swing down when he wants
:12:57. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:07.to. Very suple, a lly pirouette and -- lovely pirouette and a different
:13:07. > :13:13.style to some we have seen. Precise swing. The turns have to be right
:13:13. > :13:20.in hand stand and he has gone for every one properly. Just needs that
:13:20. > :13:30.special landing. He makes it. Wow! What a performance. The crowd are
:13:30. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:33.on their feet. Absolutely extraordinary. You know, he's
:13:33. > :13:43.always the first of the brothers up to the bar and he is always
:13:43. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :13:54.generous with what he delivers. Feng Zhe 14.566. China need an
:13:54. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:14.average of 14.496 to stay ahead of the United States. So the Chinese
:14:14. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:51.stop it Matt! Well the tension in here between teams is unbelievable.
:14:51. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:02.Zhang Chenglong, the 2 -- 22-year- old from China. A little skip into
:15:02. > :15:12.his opening tumble. The one and a half into two and a half. Such
:15:12. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:23.clean technique. A skip forward twists. Backwards that time with
:15:23. > :15:33.the two-and-a-half into the front, with the full. One and three-
:15:33. > :15:34.
:15:34. > :15:44.quarters. Very very stylish gymnast. This the moment he shows control.
:15:44. > :15:46.
:15:46. > :15:56.Has to hold it. Whip, to the one and three-quarters really smoothly
:15:56. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:04.out. Draws breath, knows this needs to be a really strong finish.
:16:04. > :16:10.Triple twist. Very clean, right the way round. They are delighted with
:16:10. > :16:20.that performance.'S Going right down to the wire. Oh. One more
:16:20. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:33.triple twist. He can't contain himself. "That's the job I needed
:16:33. > :16:38.to do." Well, it is difficult to give you an idea of what scores are
:16:39. > :16:48.needed at this stage. Every tenth is vital. Fabian Hambuechen
:16:49. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:14.mean? Well, work it out. We will let you know. I can tell you they
:17:14. > :17:40.
:17:41. > :17:46.need an average of 14.99 to stay Tokyo. So he knows how to swing.
:17:46. > :17:51.was ahead of Uchimura in the aup all round, and that is no small
:17:51. > :17:57.feat until he had his accident. A full twist in the Kovac. Easy
:17:57. > :18:02.through the one-and-a-half turns. Cleanly out, half turn. Oh. He's
:18:02. > :18:10.off the bar. That is unbelievable. He is going to sit there and think
:18:10. > :18:16.about it. And that could be it. Well, unpredictable, unexpected, if
:18:16. > :18:22.you just wait too long, it takes you a shade past and you can't get
:18:22. > :18:27.those round for a grip. What a look of the dejection, that says it all.
:18:27. > :18:35.That is the picture of this year's World Championships. But straight
:18:35. > :18:43.away, the whole arena were clapping him, they got right behind him, oh.
:18:43. > :18:47.Well, can't believe it.. Now then, it had been known to get 14 pu he
:18:47. > :18:57.really has to be faultless and he has to put in the required
:18:57. > :19:09.
:19:09. > :19:18.difficulty.. He took a big jump forward. He will be decimated. He
:19:18. > :19:24.won't believe that. He will be dejected. Had the biggest score in
:19:25. > :19:30.Tokyo on that piece of apparatus. Incredible difficulty. He already
:19:30. > :19:38.performed that with a full twist. That was the relatively simple move
:19:38. > :19:48.for him. He knew as well. He could see it straight away. He composed
:19:48. > :20:04.
:20:04. > :20:14.himself. He got back on. Xi'an. America. David Belyavskiy's job. It
:20:14. > :20:19.
:20:19. > :20:24.is not a simple one. He didn't settle in the handstand. Huge
:20:24. > :20:34.pressure on these young gymnasts. He is moving well. A little cross
:20:34. > :20:36.
:20:36. > :20:40.of the legs there. Good work on the single handle. Swinging well. Just
:20:40. > :20:50.tiny little execution error, just brushing aside, but that was good.
:20:50. > :21:05.
:21:05. > :21:15.Into the handstand, a clean routine. fall that is a big score. He is so
:21:15. > :21:23.
:21:23. > :21:33.clean everywhere else. It is just that error. He needs 14 .22 to stay
:21:33. > :21:36.
:21:36. > :21:46.straight position, just a little skip back there. One-and-a-half
:21:46. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:25.into the one and three-quarters. the utmost importance. The whip,
:22:25. > :22:32.the one and three just a bit of a bounce along the floor then. You
:22:32. > :22:37.often see him joking but he serious there. Lifts high, double twisting.
:22:37. > :22:43.Double tuck. Just the tiniest pace, they know they have done their best.
:22:43. > :22:51.It looks as if the Olympic champion has enabled China to retain their
:22:51. > :22:56.title, as world team champions. Oh, he will have seen what happened to
:22:56. > :23:05.Tanaka and Zou Kai. The pressure was on him, but he certainly came
:23:05. > :23:14.one the goods. He is a phenomenal floor worker. Such height in the
:23:14. > :23:19.double, double. His landsings are so solid. Terrific. It is amazing,
:23:19. > :23:29.he is as good on the floor as the high bar. Everybody wants this
:23:29. > :23:43.
:23:43. > :23:48.needs 16.768 to win. It's not going to happen. That would be a world
:23:48. > :23:56.record score. They have to do about an eight difficulty. It is not
:23:56. > :24:01.going to happen. But he can bet your life he will do his best.
:24:01. > :24:07.Uchimura wraps up the world team final, all eyes are on him and he
:24:08. > :24:15.has a massive job to do. Can he keep Japan in the medals. We think
:24:15. > :24:19.gold is just out of reach. 6 Look at that. Exemplary. He really
:24:19. > :24:25.understands the Kovac. It is a difficult skill but he makes it
:24:25. > :24:33.look so easy. A tickle on the bar going in. There is the combination
:24:33. > :24:39.thaition. Nicely done. In the yamawaki. And will he do the second
:24:39. > :24:46.big release. He will. He is not holding back. Oh, wow. Now then, he
:24:46. > :24:51.is human after all. He has shown he too can make mistakes. It is so
:24:51. > :24:56.unexpected. This is the hope of the Japanese and we have seen two huge
:24:56. > :25:02.error, look how long he waited to release. That was never going to
:25:02. > :25:10.happen. He was a mile away. He didn't get the credit fauna. We no
:25:10. > :25:15.the US have bronze. He needs 14.7 to stay ahead of America. That
:25:15. > :25:23.means he has to put in a big another big skill. He will be
:25:23. > :25:28.thinking about this, because he has a huge repertoire. The best he can
:25:28. > :25:31.hope for is a 14.1, 14.2. He has done it again that. The one he
:25:31. > :25:38.missed on so he has done it again and he has put in another full
:25:38. > :25:43.twist so he has listened to us. Somehow, and is building the
:25:43. > :25:48.difficulty. He knows he needs a 14.7. Het will put another one in.
:25:48. > :25:53.Double. Double. And he has landed it on a six pence. He probably
:25:53. > :25:59.doesn't know what that is but it is a fabulous landing. Has he done
:25:59. > :26:08.enough? As he done enough to keep Japan in the medals? 14 into 7 --
:26:08. > :26:15.14.7. What a job he did. Well, China retain their title. But what
:26:16. > :26:20.colour is the medal of the Americans? Well, answers on a
:26:20. > :26:25.postcard please. Well it is not always so easy working in front of
:26:25. > :26:35.a home crowd. It really piles the pressure on, as these gymnasts
:26:35. > :26:41.showed today. He just was a mile away from it. Uchimura 14 into 7.
:26:41. > :26:49.He's done it. Can you believe it? He's kept Japan in the medals, they
:26:49. > :26:59.have a silver. By one hundredth of a mark. Unbelievable. But there are
:26:59. > :27:04.
:27:04. > :27:09.again, the world team champions, China. What a final this has been.
:27:09. > :27:18.So China take gold. Japan settle for silver, after an extraordinary
:27:18. > :27:24.high bar. And the US will be more than happy with bronze.
:27:24. > :27:30.Confirmation of the men's team final. China again are world team
:27:30. > :27:33.champions. Japan, they also had it, they almost had it in their grasp.
:27:33. > :27:38.Silver was an incredible performance. United States take the
:27:38. > :27:42.performance. United States take the bronze. That come petition had more
:27:42. > :27:46.twists and turns than gymnastic routine. Where do we start Plenty
:27:46. > :27:50.of thrill, plenty of spills but what a thriller. Japan came in as
:27:51. > :27:54.favourite, China kept cool, and USA came one surprises. It was great
:27:54. > :27:58.all the way through. Incredible that China managed to retain their
:27:59. > :28:02.title because they did look a bit shady in qualification. Very clever
:28:02. > :28:06.strategy, they brought a new man in for the finals. He didn't let them
:28:06. > :28:11.down. Very clever planning and they kept cool right to the end. You
:28:11. > :28:15.have to take your hats off to them. I mean America chasing Russia,over
:28:15. > :28:21.taking them and holding on to the bronze medal. It was incredible
:28:21. > :28:25.once again as we saw from the women again. Bronze medal for performance
:28:25. > :28:29.but gold medal for grit. China, don't take it away, they beat Japan
