:00:28. > :00:38.Excellent footwork. Olympic champion! A Rebecca Adlington is
:00:38. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :01:01.Kelly Holmes for Great Britain! A wonderful performance. Absolutely
:01:01. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:09.brilliant. It is bold! It is bold! Welcome back to Tokyo, hosting the
:01:09. > :01:12.World Gymnastics Championships. It is proving to be one of the best
:01:12. > :01:16.ever. Last night it was the men's team final and it was a competition
:01:16. > :01:20.that went right down to the wire. There was a Cold War for medals
:01:20. > :01:25.between America and Russia. And would it be a Japanese or Chinese
:01:25. > :01:34.takeaway? Whatever it was, it was the ultimate game of winner stays
:01:34. > :01:44.Japan needs 0.6 from somewhere. wonderful performance. The crowd
:01:44. > :01:56.
:01:56. > :02:03.are on their feet. The tension the Olympic champion has enabled
:02:03. > :02:13.China to retain their title. All eyes on him and he has a massive
:02:13. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:35.America. Kohei Uchimura has done could not clinch it in front of the
:02:35. > :02:40.home crowd but it was thoroughly entertaining. Today it is the turn
:02:40. > :02:43.of the women in the all-arounder competition, individuals competing
:02:44. > :02:48.on four pieces of apparatus. This is the hotel where the gymnasts are
:02:48. > :02:52.staying. I have come here for coffee with Beth Tweddle to get her
:02:52. > :02:59.take on the top 24. To set our minds at rest, you are not
:02:59. > :03:04.competing in the all-arounder. cannot compete in that. You do look
:03:04. > :03:10.very relaxed! What are your thoughts? It will be interesting. I
:03:10. > :03:18.think that we will go in as favourite, because we qualified
:03:18. > :03:24.first. They will be battling at the top. But the American is looking
:03:24. > :03:34.very strong as well. Coming into this, of Russia will have been
:03:34. > :03:40.sorry to have lost at the Europeans. Their top performer is out of the
:03:40. > :03:43.all rounder, so everybody will be thinking they could do it, but the
:03:43. > :03:49.Americans would have liked the showdown. They are looking
:03:49. > :03:53.incredibly confident. That team final was just phenomenal. Yes,
:03:53. > :03:57.ourselves and America were the only teams going 12 for 12 and that is
:03:57. > :04:00.really hard. They had even more pressure on them because they were
:04:00. > :04:04.going for the world title. When we have been training with them, they
:04:05. > :04:14.are exactly the same. They banged the routines out, thank you, move
:04:15. > :04:16.
:04:17. > :04:22.on to the next piece. They are there to win. So good we be riding
:04:22. > :04:26.of the confidence? Victoria Kmova had some disappointment when she
:04:27. > :04:30.fell on the beam and messed up on the floor but she is a first-year
:04:30. > :04:34.senior and it takes time to get used to the pressure. I think she
:04:34. > :04:42.will have been thinking that everybody is watching us. She has
:04:42. > :04:47.had a tough year. She has only just made it back for the championships.
:04:47. > :04:52.And Hannah Whelan, she is 13th, I think. That is right. Can she get
:04:52. > :04:56.into the top 12? She has been training really hard. She has been
:04:56. > :05:00.consistent throughout the year. Hopefully she can go out there
:05:00. > :05:06.tonight. She made a couple of areas in the team final and was still up
:05:07. > :05:11.there. We hope that tonight will be her night to break into the top 12.
:05:11. > :05:15.We can see the line-up for the women's all-around final. This will
:05:16. > :05:23.be individual gymnasts competing Through four pieces of apparatus.
:05:23. > :05:28.That is the top group, the top qualifiers. Victoria Kmova was the
:05:28. > :05:33.highest qualifier for this competition. There will be a
:05:33. > :05:38.tightly fought battle between her and Jordyn Wieber. Yes, very
:05:38. > :05:43.tightly fought. They are the two gymnasts with the big star of
:05:43. > :05:51.values. If they do not make mistakes, people cannot catch them.
:05:51. > :05:56.Further down the field, we have the Brazilian, 24 gymnasts in all. This
:05:56. > :06:02.is not necessarily the top 24 gymnasts in the world. You are only
:06:02. > :06:08.allowed two their country and you have got China, Japan and America,
:06:08. > :06:11.who have qualified four gymnasts in that top number. Taking that into
:06:11. > :06:15.account and removing those gymnasts from the top 24 that are not
:06:15. > :06:19.allowed to be here, we have Hannah Whelan in 13th place, as far as
:06:19. > :06:25.Great Britain is concerned. So a wonderful performance from her and
:06:25. > :06:29.she will be looking to get into the golden top 12. Very much so. Hannah
:06:29. > :06:33.Whelan would have qualified whatever the ruling. You are right,
:06:33. > :06:37.the very powerful nations, all of their gymnasts are strong, and they
:06:38. > :06:44.are only allowed the top two to qualify. They are in effect
:06:44. > :06:47.fighting within their team to be getting the right to be in the
:06:47. > :06:51.individual final. The top qualifiers will go through in the
:06:51. > :06:55.same group, which shows us how things are lying, gymnast a gymnast.
:06:55. > :07:00.It is very rare for people from a lower group to jump up, but it does
:07:00. > :07:05.happen. Usually the winner will come from the top group. It is
:07:05. > :07:14.unusual for somebody in the second group to get into the rankings. But
:07:14. > :07:18.it has happened. These are the top six gymnasts and this is group one.
:07:18. > :07:22.Victoria Kmova from Russia. Interesting to see what happens to
:07:22. > :07:27.her. She had a nightmare in the team final. She did incredibly well
:07:27. > :07:35.in qualification but she kind of lost it for Russia. She did, really.
:07:35. > :07:40.Hannah Whelan as well. Victoria Kmova had surgery on her ankle in
:07:40. > :07:44.May, so she is relatively on the way back to full fitness. I think
:07:44. > :07:49.that day one took quite a lot out of her. She was not quite able to
:07:49. > :07:54.fire at the same level on day two. She had a bit of a rest and she
:07:54. > :08:03.will no doubt be keen to put that behind her and prove herself today.
:08:04. > :08:12.All eyes on the stock group again. -- this top group. Her first World
:08:12. > :08:16.Championships as well, which is a big deal. Especially because third
:08:16. > :08:20.-- her team-mate is not in this competition. Perhaps she will not
:08:20. > :08:24.have that weight on her shoulders tonight and we will see more of
:08:24. > :08:34.what she is capable of. To replace that team-mate is a real challenge.
:08:34. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:54.Hannah Whelan is in the third group and they will be competing on beam.
:08:54. > :08:58.This gymnast, Ana Porgras of Romania, she could look into the
:08:58. > :09:04.top group. She had some areas in qualification, but she has got
:09:04. > :09:13.those qualities. Indeed, she was World Champion on beam at the last
:09:13. > :09:17.World Championships. She will get off to a great start. It would be
:09:17. > :09:27.good if she could leapfrog, it would add some spice to the
:09:27. > :09:36.
:09:36. > :09:40.this top group. Huang Quishuang and Yao Jinnan. Lots of gymnasts are
:09:40. > :09:45.going for the wrist support. That power that they are all putting in
:09:45. > :09:50.to convert the speed from the run up into the height, that really
:09:50. > :09:54.takes its toll on your wrists. and they find it mostly when they
:09:54. > :09:58.planned their hands in the round- off before the platform.
:09:58. > :10:01.Particularly their second hand down takes a lot of weight and pressure.
:10:01. > :10:10.They have that match at the front of the springboard to help to
:10:10. > :10:20.absorb the pressure. And we call them panda pause. They are not
:10:20. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:30.support but they stop the wrists taking too much pressure. We have
:10:30. > :10:37.just glimpsed the scoreboard. This vault is 5-8 difficulty. It will be
:10:37. > :10:42.marked out of 15.8. We will see a lot of these gymnasts performing
:10:42. > :10:49.this vault. The straight somersault with a double twist. The board is
:10:49. > :10:59.set. Gin and yeah joiner. She competed on all of the apparatus to
:10:59. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:04.help China to that bronze medal in the team final. -- Yao Jinnan.
:11:04. > :11:14.was a beautiful performance. It had lived, Hyde, style and wonderful
:11:14. > :11:14.
:11:14. > :11:20.direction. -- height of. wonderful start for the 16 year-old.
:11:20. > :11:24.Her conversion is very effective. Very clean. Write down the middle.
:11:24. > :11:29.A terrific vault and the perfect way to start the competition. She
:11:29. > :11:35.is working hard to keep her legs together. Her shoulders are up on
:11:35. > :11:42.landing. Textbook stuff. We will be looking for a high executions go
:11:43. > :11:52.with that one. It is out of 15.8. - - High executioner score. She
:11:52. > :11:58.scored a high 14 in qualification. She will want more than that.
:11:58. > :12:04.not think the judges will be able to find too many deductions. It was
:12:04. > :12:09.high, perhaps not as long as some. They might find some deductions.
:12:09. > :12:19.Style, landing... We that take down the middle, you could see that it
:12:19. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:31.was dead straight. -- with that tape down the middle. She only gets
:12:31. > :12:41.
:12:41. > :12:51.qualifier. I can tell you now that her mother is standing just behind
:12:51. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:02.us. She is rocking to and fro with her hands grasped. Two-and-a-half
:13:02. > :13:11.twists, and she almost overcooked it. Just one place forwards.
:13:11. > :13:18.mother shouted out, a good job! left to seek to come and watch.
:13:18. > :13:22.That was out of 6.5. She can afford to have quite a few more deductions
:13:22. > :13:32.and I think there will be some because there was a bit of a step
:13:32. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:03.swings effortlessly. A second really strong handstand. Full
:14:03. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:23.terrible. That was short as well. You could see that she did not
:14:23. > :14:28.quite hit the handstand. She did not get her legs in properly. Such
:14:28. > :14:35.a disappointed gymnast. Japanese men had a nightmare on the
:14:35. > :14:42.bar yesterday. What a shame for her. She got bronze at the World
:14:42. > :14:45.Championships in London. I think it will be out of her grasp now.
:14:45. > :14:52.think so that you get straight back up. That really is a disappointment
:14:52. > :14:56.for her. The gymnasts have 30 seconds when they fought to put the
:14:56. > :15:06.chalk on their hands, and she should have taken that time. --
:15:06. > :15:26.
:15:27. > :15:31.The score to beat, 14.966. Best one posted by Yao Jinnan. She had
:15:31. > :15:38.deductions for that first vault, Jinnan. The judges are certainly
:15:38. > :15:48.having a long think about this. Well, she's gone ahead of her,
:15:48. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:37.It does look that way. A bit of blinking going on.
:16:37. > :16:46.
:16:47. > :16:56.The first three gymnasts were all hit all her angles correctly. Can't
:16:56. > :17:03.power herself through. Considering the scores are in for
:17:03. > :17:12.Wieber I don't know why she is being held so long. A big test for
:17:12. > :17:15.her. Before your first performance in a world final you don't want
:17:15. > :17:19.this. It's a double twist she's rehearsing.
:17:19. > :17:23.Just to let you know we are not in charge of the pictures here, or we
:17:23. > :17:33.would be showing you a lot more gymnastics but we quite enjoy
:17:33. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:47.watching her chalking up! Tur tur tur had made the bar final -- Koko
:17:47. > :17:58.
:17:58. > :18:03.Tsurumi had made the bar final. I'm going to start clapping in a
:18:03. > :18:13.minute. It is difficult to know why the delay really. All the scores
:18:13. > :18:13.
:18:13. > :18:17.are in. Hannah Whelan is waiting on the beam, so whether there's a
:18:17. > :18:27.technical hitch perhaps with the scoreboard, because there is no-one
:18:27. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :19:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:19:08. > :19:14.performance but it's a good dismount, twisting in the double
:19:14. > :19:23.and just a pace back. Yes, the Romanians lose a bit on style and
:19:23. > :19:28.technique to be -- on the asymmetric bars. I think this went
:19:28. > :19:36.the wrong way. She intended to come forward. That was a bit of an exit
:19:36. > :19:42.she had to get. She managed to make the reverse grip. She managed a
:19:42. > :19:47.high Jaeger, caught with nice arms that time. Slightly legs flickering
:19:48. > :19:52.apart. The judges are eagle eyed with their pens but a super
:19:52. > :19:57.dismount. Really well flighted and landed. Speaking of landing we are
:19:57. > :20:07.about to see Hannah Whelan land. She took a little hop forward on
:20:07. > :20:17.dismount but she got through the routine. Haidu scores 13.366.
:20:17. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:26.Haidu is in the second batch of six individual all-around med A
:20:26. > :20:32.really works on this run. Lifts up high. Lovely style on that double
:20:32. > :20:36.twist. Not the most difficult fault but really the most stylish. Super
:20:36. > :20:41.style and great composure considering she had to wait nearly
:20:42. > :20:46.five minutes on the runway. That was the first test she had tonight.
:20:46. > :20:52.She attacked really well. Measured her approach. Good, strong contact.
:20:52. > :20:55.Wraps the twist in just a tiny bit to the side of the line but very
:20:55. > :21:00.disciplined, pushing the shoulder down, wrapping the arms in, keeping
:21:00. > :21:10.the head nice and tight. Shoulders up on landing.
:21:10. > :21:24.
:21:24. > :21:29.Pleased to have got that under her belt. That's the one piece of
:21:29. > :21:36.apparatus she doesn't have better start value than Jordyn Wieber. She
:21:36. > :21:46.knew she was under pressure on this piece from the start.
:21:46. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:23.Hannah's score is in. 14.333. go, Huang Quishuang. A 19-year-old.
:22:23. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:53.She competed for China in the team she made contact with the platform.
:22:53. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:05.Magnifyed from the double twist. Elisabeth Seitz on the bars. Watch
:23:05. > :23:08.
:23:08. > :23:15.that move. Another first, fabulous - not a first but a beginning ga
:23:15. > :23:22.with full twist into a Jaeger. -- ginga with full twist into a
:23:22. > :23:28.Jaeger. The difficulty is enormous but
:23:28. > :23:33.there are deductions. You can see a little bit soggy through the back.
:23:33. > :23:37.A twist double back, but what difficulty packed into that routine.
:23:37. > :23:41.She had a go. She made the bar final at the last Championships,
:23:41. > :23:46.and that is why. Difficulty is the key.
:23:46. > :23:51.You can either go execution or difficulty. Pile it in, that's what
:23:51. > :23:56.I say. Really exciting stuff wasn't it Christine? Really exciting. She
:23:56. > :24:04.hasn't made bar final here, because for every difficult move she lost
:24:04. > :24:14.marks with the legs apart. 14.733. She is in fourth. Another
:24:14. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:49.team who was a member of the team in Beijing. Sites sites, 13.933 --
:24:49. > :24:53.Elisabeth Seitz, 13.933. A double twist but it was a bit
:24:53. > :24:57.loose legged and deep on the landing. These double twists,
:24:57. > :25:04.you've got make them clean, high, and stick to the carpet on the
:25:04. > :25:11.landing. She did a 14.8 in the team final.
:25:11. > :25:16.The thing is the start value goes up so well. Coachs are tempted to
:25:16. > :25:21.go for it even if there are some deductions, and you can see
:25:21. > :25:24.deductions here. The knees are a little bit bent.
:25:24. > :25:32.She just buckled a little on landing.
:25:32. > :25:42.You can see how low the niece were over the feet.
:25:42. > :25:43.
:25:43. > :25:48.15.716 is the highest score we've seen so far on vault, Jordyn Wieber.
:25:48. > :25:55.That is her big advantage, Jordyn Wieber, over the rest of the field.
:25:55. > :26:05.She has a vault that's worth so much more, 0.7 more. It is like she
:26:05. > :26:12.
:26:12. > :26:18.has that as a start. Bars will be International Gymnast about her
:26:18. > :26:23.being the only one of the Russian team not to be using hand guards.
:26:23. > :26:27.At the same time when there wasn't a lot of money in Russia the
:26:28. > :26:33.leather was impossible to get hold of. Many of the girls use these
:26:33. > :26:37.little bits of tape around the hands. It's a nightmare if you are
:26:37. > :26:47.a gymnast sharing apparatus with them, because they like the bars
:26:47. > :27:24.
:27:24. > :27:34.scraped flat. It is fifth for her her waiting and don't want to show
:27:34. > :27:34.
:27:34. > :27:38.us anything nels the meantime! -- else in the meantime!
:27:38. > :27:43.Fabulous height. Wonderful direction as well. She made sure
:27:43. > :27:51.everybody saw that was a dead landing. If she wants second she
:27:51. > :27:56.needs over 14.966. Well, out of 15.8, if they can keep the
:27:56. > :28:00.deductions down... The landing might have been dead, Christine,
:28:00. > :28:07.but her hopes are very much alive. Getting close to the top with this
:28:07. > :28:12.vault, a caerk. Nice and high, really -- a cracker. Nice and high,
:28:12. > :28:22.really tight. The landing, couldn't have wished for better. Plenty of
:28:22. > :28:49.
:28:49. > :28:52.top on the vault. A great start for It's Ana Porgras for Romania.
:28:52. > :29:02.She was beam world champion last year.
:29:02. > :29:13.
:29:13. > :29:23.It was her best piece in flips into a really well held vait
:29:23. > :30:02.
:30:02. > :30:09.somer Wall Street -- straight Gymnasts have to show the split
:30:09. > :30:18.position in leaps. She does that with ease.
:30:18. > :30:24.Two flips and a double pike. That was class beam work.
:30:24. > :30:34.She looks a lot different than she did in qualifying. Got her head
:30:34. > :30:34.
:30:34. > :31:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:31:29. > :31:39.together and is back to the Ana second! Just behind her team-mate,
:31:39. > :31:39.
:31:40. > :31:48.Jordyn Wieber, winning the field at the moment. Ana Porgras has just
:31:48. > :31:57.come in. It is challenging for a medal. Ana Porgras, 15.1, takes her
:31:57. > :32:05.into third. Yao Jinnan is down into 4th. Look at No. 8! Hannah Whelan.
:32:05. > :32:15.A solid start from her. Especially as that is the beam score and the
:32:15. > :32:15.
:32:15. > :32:24.vault usually carries a higher score. Venessa Ferrari will be
:32:24. > :32:34.looking for a top 10 spot if she can. Lauren Mitchell is
:32:34. > :32:35.
:32:35. > :33:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:33:21. > :33:25.uncharacteristically at 23rd. She seconds for each gymnast, and you
:33:25. > :33:29.get a three minute warm-up as you move around the apparatus. Just a
:33:29. > :33:38.quick time to get a quick feel of it before your performance. Hannah
:33:38. > :33:41.Whelan moves over to floor. 14.1 in a team final. She did incredibly
:33:42. > :33:45.well for the team, as did all of the members, to get the fifth-place
:33:45. > :33:50.finish. I was talking to Beth Tweddle earlier, and you could
:33:50. > :33:55.never have predicted it. The Japanese did not have a great
:33:55. > :34:00.competition, to be fair. That kind of helped them into 5th place.

:36:09. > :36:19.still some work to do. Especially on the dance work. The acrobatics
:36:19. > :36:21.
:36:21. > :36:25.were really well done. Two Phillips and a double pike dismount. They
:36:25. > :36:29.get a bit of extra time on the bars warm-up because they can alter the
:36:29. > :36:33.distance between them. Each gymnast has given 50 seconds from the
:36:33. > :36:38.moment that they start. That is partly because they like them to be

:38:30. > :38:33.is human amongst that difficulty! top carries five. Talking about
:38:33. > :38:39.that bar routine, it really was quite sub-standard from what we
:38:39. > :38:49.have seen from there. She struggled on a two forward elements. She had
:38:49. > :39:10.
:39:10. > :39:17.to use some power to get them over. we are still waiting for Jordyn
:39:17. > :39:21.Wieber's score. I love this sport because you gain on the swings and
:39:21. > :39:25.you lose on the roundabouts. can tell from her face that she is
:39:25. > :39:30.not pleased. She is not made for bars. She is made for the power
:39:30. > :39:35.events. I expect she has had to learn very hard to swing. She let
:39:35. > :39:42.the swing overtake her. She did not kill it enough to hit the handstand.
:39:42. > :39:52.She recovered well. A gymnast with less strength would have clattered
:39:52. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:19.ahead. But for how long? That is the question. We have just seen
:40:20. > :40:29.Hannah Whelan complete a very good score -- floor routine. We have not
:40:29. > :40:39.got the score yet. Victoria Komova is second and looking to make a
:40:39. > :41:16.
:41:16. > :41:23.some lovely leg work. Will that be worth more than 13.6? Definitely.
:41:23. > :41:33.That was a big, big challenge. Hannah Whelan's floor. This is a

:43:06. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:11.performance. Victoria Komova takes the lead by one hole mark. That was
:43:11. > :43:21.a really classy asymmetric bars performance by Victoria Komova. She

:44:27. > :44:33.looking to climb the rankings. was one of the gymnasts that fell
:44:33. > :44:39.in the team final so that was a great performance from her. Brace
:44:39. > :44:49.yourselves, everyone, Hannah Whelan his third! It was her phenomenal
:44:49. > :44:54.
:44:55. > :44:58.Hannah Whelan. It reflected the wonderfully clean landings. And
:44:58. > :45:02.expressive floor routine and she has worked very hard on the
:45:02. > :45:07.presentation. Lots of marks are given for artistry and performance.
:45:07. > :45:14.She will have got lots of those bonuses. She's bought 14.1 in the

:45:24. > :45:31.
:45:31. > :45:40.They will move over to the beam in a moment.
:45:40. > :45:45.Well, a surprise for Whelan. Real disappointment for her looking for
:45:45. > :45:52.this individual gold. The Americans are powering their way to gold.
:45:52. > :45:57.was the apparatus she didn't score so well on.
:45:57. > :46:07.Powerful vaulting, one-and-a-half twists, kicks her legs out and
:46:07. > :46:11.
:46:12. > :46:21.wraps one-and-a-half turns in. That pushes Wieber down into third.
:46:22. > :47:00.
:47:00. > :47:06.transfer with a half-turn. Smooth work here. Very nicely flighted.
:47:06. > :47:11.Caught with straight arms and a big catch. Short on rotation but she
:47:11. > :47:17.takes into it a somersault. Good bonus for linking the moves but she
:47:17. > :47:21.was at a standstill by the time she got there. Hits the handstand,
:47:21. > :47:28.winds up into the dismount, full twisting double back. She got it
:47:28. > :47:34.all in but it looked a bit of a scrabble. She's a bit heavy on if
:47:34. > :47:42.landings. -- on the landings. She packs it
:47:42. > :47:51.all in, really does fill the routine and gives it the Max.
:47:51. > :48:01.Nicely flighting in the Jaeger, plenty of rotation. Keeps the swing
:48:01. > :48:01.
:48:01. > :48:04.going well. This is where she really got busy.
:48:04. > :48:09.The shoulders weren't back enough to guarantee more rotation but you
:48:09. > :48:13.can see the result. That was a really good battling performance.
:48:13. > :48:21.She went for all her links. If you add the moves together they give
:48:21. > :48:26.you the extra marks. Giulia Steingruber 14.866 for a second
:48:26. > :48:33.piece of apparatus vault. Goes into sixth. She's one of the big vaulter
:48:34. > :48:41.in the vault final later in the week.
:48:41. > :48:51.Kseniia Afanaseva has moved up three places. 14.2 for bars, just
:48:51. > :49:02.
:49:02. > :49:07.outside of medal contention. Two old. Fifth on the floor.
:49:07. > :49:17.Traditionally beam and floor very good for Romania. Emfat nick the
:49:17. > :49:51.
:49:51. > :50:01.Nicely under control. Nice touches important to the projection of the
:50:01. > :50:24.
:50:24. > :50:34.exercise. That was a little bounce the double tuck. A double pike and
:50:34. > :50:35.
:50:35. > :50:45.a similar area. That was a pity. beautiful, supple routine.
:50:45. > :50:52.Here's Alexandra Raisman. She was second after vault.
:50:52. > :50:57.Lifts well up to the high bar. Just a tiny bit short of hand-stand.
:50:57. > :51:07.Half turn, a huge Jaeger. Again just a little untidy with the feet.
:51:07. > :51:13.A full pirouette. Into the Katchev. She did handstand hop and just
:51:13. > :51:19.missed the hand. All those swings, and again she's really got herself
:51:19. > :51:26.rattled. She should have stopped, calmed herself down like she is now.
:51:26. > :51:30.It is into the dismount, double front, she lands that but that will
:51:30. > :51:36.probably be three whole marks deducted for that. Two falls.
:51:36. > :51:40.was rat frld the beginning. When you mentioned the -- rattled from
:51:40. > :51:45.the beginning. She is not a class worker on asymmetric bars. It is
:51:45. > :51:53.all power and push, and she just didn't seem to be settled.
:51:53. > :51:58.There were touches, there wasn't even one clean scale, and she
:51:58. > :52:05.didn't get the grip properly underneath. Then she got herself
:52:05. > :52:12.into a tizz. She should have taken her time. There was the double tuck
:52:12. > :52:17.but so much damage done to any medal hope there is. A real
:52:17. > :52:24.surprise. Raisman moves from second to ninth. 12.9. What a different
:52:24. > :52:31.story this is for the Americans. Ana Porgras is just outside medal
:52:31. > :52:41.contention. 13.966 for floor puts her in fourth.
:52:41. > :53:10.
:53:10. > :53:16.Just a few errors for Ana Porgras plenty of flight.
:53:16. > :53:26.She's got hit every handstand and every release.
:53:26. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:43.Jaeger. If she stands it up, it will be a huge challenge. That was
:53:43. > :53:51.terrific. What can they take from it? She was in fourth. I'm sure her
:53:51. > :53:56.score will build from there. Komova currently leads with a 15.4 on bars.
:53:56. > :54:02.That was cleaner than Komova's performance. It was a really tight,
:54:02. > :54:11.well-flighted performance. The catches are at arm's length,
:54:11. > :54:17.the handstands are clean. Look how high. Catches are really
:54:17. > :54:22.at full stretch. This is what we mean when we say swings with
:54:22. > :54:32.fluency. A lovely straight body. Nails the landing. That was a
:54:32. > :54:41.
:54:41. > :54:51.Lovely height. The one-and-a-half twists not as difficult as some.
:54:51. > :54:56.
:54:56. > :55:05.Three Olympic Games she's performed Yao Jinnan is now behind Victoria
:55:05. > :55:15.Komova. 14.3 for Daniele Matias Hypolito.
:55:15. > :55:26.
:55:26. > :55:33.Into ninth at this stage. A five World Championships. Great for
:55:33. > :55:43.the sport. And still performing. They have had a bit of a change at
:55:43. > :55:58.
:55:58. > :56:03.the top in Brazil. Victoria Komova the American gymnasts after this
:56:03. > :56:09.second piece of apparatus. Do you think their priority was on the
:56:09. > :56:15.team and they are off the boil a little? Their priority is off the
:56:15. > :56:19.team but I don't think they are off the boil. They are not great on
:56:19. > :56:25.bars and when you are in the same group as kids who are great on bars
:56:25. > :56:31.you have that question in your mind, don't you? Understandable. She's
:56:31. > :56:37.smiling. Do you think she's a bit harshly done by on bars? Whether
:56:37. > :56:47.she got all her difficulty given. Yes, they've given her a D score of
:56:47. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :57:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:57:32. > :57:38.6.7. Yao Jinnan is in seconds. predicted. The Americans, what's
:57:38. > :57:43.going on with both of them? It just shows what pressure can do. A
:57:43. > :57:49.couple of mistakes on bars and Jordyn missed her hands. Wonderful
:57:49. > :57:54.composure from Komova as well. She was held at the of the runway for
:57:54. > :57:58.ages before she could even start her vault. Went on to bars and is
:57:58. > :58:01.really building. It shows how experienced she is at international
:58:01. > :58:07.competition to be able to stand at the end of the runway for five
:58:07. > :58:13.minutes. She went to bars, one of her favourite pieces, and got the
:58:13. > :58:19.stop score of the competition. Ana Porgras is worth keeping her
:58:20. > :58:23.eye on. Yes, in qualification she missed a beam. She is out of the
:58:23. > :58:29.pressure group. She's up there in the standings. You know Hannah but
:58:29. > :58:34.are you surprised to see her in seventh? Not at all. You see the
:58:34. > :58:39.mistakes that have been happening and Hannah kept it cool and calm.
:58:39. > :58:46.She did the best beam we've seen. Fingers crossed she can keep it
:58:46. > :58:53.going for vault and bars. On to the third bit of apparatus.
:58:53. > :58:58.Seventh at halfway for Hannah. I think that's excellent. Beam and
:58:58. > :59:03.floor are probably her two best pieces, so she will have been
:59:03. > :59:13.delighted to perform both to the best of her ability. Vault is not
:59:13. > :59:26.
:59:26. > :59:31.as difficult as some but she's a come back fighting. They are very
:59:31. > :59:38.good on the beam and I can't see them giving in at all.
:59:39. > :59:48.These young gymnasts who are in the lead still have got to surmount
:59:49. > :00:06.
:00:06. > :00:10.that headache of a good beam on this bit of apparatus. That was
:00:10. > :00:15.different from the 15.4 in qualification. Something in the mid
:00:15. > :00:25.wool be good. The gap between one and two is
:00:25. > :00:44.
:00:44. > :00:53.feet. Look how high that front somersault was.
:00:53. > :01:03.One back flip, a layout and a second. She looked composed.
:01:03. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:11.Standing Arabian. She really is deceptive. A lovely split.
:01:11. > :01:17.She's got enormous power as well. This she has to concentrate on, a
:01:17. > :01:27.full spin leg -up. The pre - walkover. The jump, she took the
:01:27. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:42.head back, got the difficulty for she stepped behind, but at least
:01:42. > :01:49.she did not fall off. That was a very good performance under
:01:49. > :01:57.pressure. In dude. She lost something on execution but not
:01:58. > :02:01.difficult to, and that is key. -- indeed. There were signs of
:02:01. > :02:11.presence and composer, even after the wobbles. Plenty of a Latakia,
:02:11. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:32.which is what gave their problems. say. She will be moving on to floor
:02:32. > :02:42.with some more landing room. really is quite a special gymnast.
:02:42. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :02:59.Classical but powerful. Very often vault. An absolute beauty.
:02:59. > :03:08.surprised you stayed in your seat! Christine is on her feet and so am
:03:08. > :03:18.I! She is greeted by her coach. She trains with Beth Tweddle as well.
:03:18. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:33.Textbook. She met the floor think she will go higher up the
:03:33. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :03:59.leaderboard. She is currently in Komova leads by two marks. That was
:03:59. > :04:06.almost one marked down on her stunning 15.4 of qualification. So
:04:06. > :04:10.she has left the door open to a very strong challenge. You get the
:04:10. > :04:20.feeling this will be another tight competition. It is unbelievable out
:04:20. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:35.there. Can Huang Quishuang stay put and get through it? She needs to.
:04:35. > :04:52.
:04:53. > :04:58.She cannot afford to make any and one off and that ankle must
:04:58. > :05:08.have script the side of the beam. Very uncomfortable. That was solid
:05:08. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:23.compose herself. She got straight back on and now she is going well
:05:23. > :05:33.again. I do not want to put a commentators curse on her, but that
:05:33. > :05:51.
:05:51. > :05:56.one error was very expensive. Now error but it was expensive. That
:05:56. > :06:00.seemed so uncharacteristic for the rest of the routine. Yes. She was a
:06:00. > :06:09.bit slow on the back flip. They have to use the back flip to give
:06:09. > :06:15.themselves some power. She was almost looking forward when she
:06:15. > :06:21.took off, so she did not get her weight on to the second foot. She
:06:21. > :06:25.planted her feet very well at the end for the dismount. She will be
:06:25. > :06:31.deducted for this landing because you can see that when the feet land,
:06:31. > :06:41.the chest is facing the floor. They can take up to 0.5 for that. That
:06:41. > :07:14.
:07:14. > :07:22.from Italy, now 20 years old. We have watched her grow up through
:07:22. > :07:32.the years. She was six on floor at the last World Championships and
:07:32. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:43.becoming World Champion. Look at that! Double twisting and double
:07:43. > :07:53.back. That is the first time since then that we have seen a complete
:07:53. > :07:53.
:07:53. > :08:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:08:56. > :09:00.to make this final tumble. That was a great double pike and this is
:09:00. > :09:10.fabulous. Vanessa Ferrari was in the top eight, just behind Hannah
:09:10. > :09:15.
:09:15. > :09:19.Whelan. She is chlorine her way up. -- grappling her way up. When
:09:19. > :09:24.things got tough, she stuck in there and she came back and fought
:09:24. > :09:26.to regain some confidence. This double twist and double that was
:09:26. > :09:34.what she competed in her first world champions and we have not
:09:34. > :09:40.seen it again since then until this year. Very impressive. She did
:09:40. > :09:45.Grove. She was tiny when we first saw her. She had to reversion all
:09:45. > :09:50.of her work. Similarly with Hannah Whelan, she has had a growth spurt.
:09:50. > :09:59.Yes, she was the baby of the team in Beijing. She has really grown
:09:59. > :10:09.and reorganise to work. -- reorganised her work. So big
:10:09. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:38.Full twist in the straight somersault position. Very clean.
:10:38. > :10:43.Very nice. 5th in the all-around last year. Straight arms, good lift.
:10:43. > :10:52.She gave the judges almost nothing to deduct. If you can keep your
:10:52. > :11:02.deductions low, you do not have to do such difficult work. First-class
:11:02. > :11:09.
:11:09. > :11:18.far and at the moment she is in a bronze medal contention. 14.1. One
:11:18. > :11:28.more piece to go. Ferrari is now in 5th after that floor routine. 14.5
:11:28. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:53.in qualifying on this apparatus. Plenty of pedigree. That was a very
:11:53. > :12:03.expensive first moves. The standing Arabian is very difficult. And beam
:12:03. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:12:43. > :12:46.Hours of practice goes into this gymnast ever to perform it. Always
:12:46. > :12:50.difficult to keep your concentration when you make a
:12:50. > :12:56.mistake right at the beginning. She knows that she must do a good
:12:56. > :13:00.dismount. She buckled a bit on the knees as well. She was not used in
:13:00. > :13:10.the team final for Russia on that piece of apparatus. Maybe not
:13:10. > :13:15.consistent enough. He did not look very consistent today! -- it did
:13:15. > :13:20.not. Very hard to marry the twist from a somersault with a standing
:13:20. > :13:27.start. If you pull your shoulders too soon, you will be off-target
:13:27. > :13:34.and she was. There were tiny moments in that routine when she
:13:34. > :13:41.lost her focus. On the finish, that was quite a buckle. Unfortunate.
:13:41. > :13:51.She stays in 6th. 13.4, so not too costly in turns of position but she
:13:51. > :14:08.
:14:08. > :14:13.and going for an execution score. She performed very well in the all-
:14:13. > :14:21.around. The team did not make that top group. She was an outstanding
:14:21. > :14:29.performer for them. You can see this vault has a good flight on but
:14:29. > :14:39.it dies a bit off. You can see that with some of the vaults with more
:14:39. > :14:49.flight. Her best finish his 19th in the all-around, last year. She is
:14:49. > :15:20.
:15:21. > :15:28.hangs in there because I want Hannah Whelan to move up! She has
:15:28. > :15:34.done fantastically. Apologies if you are listening in Romania.
:15:34. > :15:44.we have Hannah Whelan's mother behind us. This must be the lucky
:15:44. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:15.And how ever many times you've practised it, it is never quite the

:20:39. > :20:42.

:25:21. > :25:26.last one to go. Are you sitting down or standing for this
:25:26. > :25:30.competition? Sitting down clinging to my other daughter's hand. So you
:25:30. > :25:36.can actually watch then? We are gymnastics fans but we are not
:25:36. > :25:42.really enjoying it, it is so nerve- racking. She's doing OK. Can she
:25:42. > :25:47.get over a 14 on bars? It is going to be tricky. A couple of scores
:25:47. > :25:52.have been slightly lower than 13, but on the first day she didn't get

:26:10. > :26:15.pressure is getting to them. They all want that world title, you put
:26:15. > :26:20.yourself under so much pressure, sometimes it backfires on you.
:26:20. > :26:26.Jordyn Wieber grab that goal? isn't far behind. Her floor is
:26:26. > :26:32.strong. We all know that Komova has ankle injury. 1234 it is now the
:26:32. > :26:42.last piece. Where are you going to watch this? Back down there I think.
:26:42. > :26:53.
:26:54. > :26:59.We wish you very best for the whole at the moment. This is the
:26:59. > :27:04.competition of her life. We've seen Hannah compete like this in Britain
:27:04. > :27:10.often. She's British champion, has been for the last two years, and
:27:10. > :27:14.she's a clean performer. Each time she comes to the world stage she's
:27:14. > :27:19.lost confidence in the all-around competition. If she can get through

:29:21. > :29:26.elegant work, but not with massive difficulty. Not the sort of
:29:26. > :29:30.difficulty we are going to see from the Americans and the Russians.
:29:30. > :29:36.maybe not quite enough for a medal. She was in fourth of the third

:29:40. > :29:44.Her qualifying score was only 5.4 in difficulty. If you think the top

:30:06. > :30:06.
:30:06. > :30:09.interesting. And hopefully Hannah Whelan as well.
:30:09. > :30:14.Hannah's performance so far has been amazing. She's moved up a

:33:26. > :33:30.that she is great at tumbling. You spotted a few errors in the
:33:30. > :33:39.choreography and the dance elements in this bins. Yes, I think she fell
:33:39. > :33:46.out of both of the spins. It is a long way round. It is the longest
:33:46. > :33:50.axis and you really need power to go through it. She uses her head,
:33:50. > :33:53.but this routine really needs her face as well. An expression. It is
:33:53. > :34:03.very well choreographed but she needs to finish it off with the
:34:03. > :34:22.
:34:22. > :34:26.be weighed down with that vault score. There are four chapters to
:34:26. > :34:34.this story, and each one has to be successful to really emerge

:36:19. > :36:53.
:36:53. > :37:00.but she has left her best until last. It was good, no doubt about
:37:00. > :37:09.it, but coming from eight? Too much of a mountain to climb, I think. Or
:37:09. > :37:19.even jump for that matter. Ana Porgras is in 5th. This is not her
:37:19. > :37:33.
:37:33. > :37:41.favourite apparatus. But can she was a full pirouette. Nearly
:37:41. > :37:49.demolishing her coach! Up to handstands smoothly. That was as
:37:49. > :37:59.well as she could do! It is not easy to get the big scores in bars.
:37:59. > :37:59.
:37:59. > :38:09.She got one very big error. She did that one 1/2 pirouette. That is a
:38:09. > :38:22.
:38:22. > :38:26.massive deduction. Five tenths? almost under rotated there. She has
:38:26. > :38:35.a reasonable start value for it. It is just whether they really hammer
:38:35. > :38:40.those turns. She has gone ahead of the rest of the field so far. But
:38:40. > :38:47.some big guns still to come. That is a big fight back for her. Very
:38:47. > :38:57.impressive tumbling. Three more gymnasts to go. Two more on bars to
:38:57. > :38:57.
:38:57. > :39:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:39:38. > :39:48.light of foot and she needs to sell there. She kept control through the
:39:48. > :39:58.spins. Superb. So much grace and elegance. She is tiny. She looks
:39:58. > :40:36.
:40:36. > :40:40.Do you know what? I thought that was delightful. I totally agree. A
:40:40. > :40:45.charming routine with some excellent tumbling. Dancing to a
:40:45. > :40:54.medley from West Side story. What the story this would be if she
:40:54. > :41:01.could medal here! Floor is historically not great for Chinese
:41:01. > :41:08.gymnasts but that was a really special performance. Look at the
:41:08. > :41:13.height. She spots the landing. Plenty of time. She was very
:41:13. > :41:22.precise with those landings. When she could have taken a little step,
:41:22. > :41:26.she disciplined herself not to. The only small step was on that double
:41:26. > :41:36.pike. But she smiled and sold the routine, making it a pleasure to
:41:36. > :41:51.
:41:51. > :42:01.watch. It is a delight to see work gymnasts to go on floor. Including
:42:01. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:36.edge of town. -- to beat from medal. She will be out to beat that

:42:36. > :43:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:43:45. > :43:54.gave away just that 0.14 Stepping Out, but all in all, she has fought
:43:54. > :44:04.back very well. The score that she needs to get the medal is 14.016.
:44:04. > :44:13.
:44:13. > :44:21.will be surprised if she does not double double. Not fazed at all by
:44:21. > :44:27.the pressure on her. She might grab the gold medal at the last minute.
:44:27. > :44:35.The Stepping Out might be expensive. She is still in with a very good
:44:35. > :44:45.chance. How much damage has she done? Her qualifying score was 14.5.
:44:45. > :44:50.
:44:50. > :45:00.from what we have seen for the Americans. They have looked
:45:00. > :45:04.
:45:04. > :45:14.vulnerable. Indeed. What is it going to be? Well, she is leading
:45:14. > :45:37.
:45:37. > :45:47.years old. Can she score 14.367? If she can, she's world champion.
:45:47. > :46:23.
:46:23. > :46:32.A great start. One-and-a-half That tumble pretty much under
:46:32. > :46:37.control for the twist. A superb effort so far.
:46:37. > :46:47.She dipped out past the vertical line at the end of the spins. The
:46:47. > :47:00.
:47:00. > :47:09.Well, that's her bid. Is it good enough? I think she's landed that
:47:09. > :47:17.final tumble. I knew she had done enough. She's the gymnast that's
:47:17. > :47:26.worked without errors. Consistent, with touches of brilliance too.
:47:26. > :47:30.She's got the work. The bars were beautiful. And that floor routine
:47:30. > :47:36.was beautiful. Lovely tumbling. Her mother was part of the Soviet them
:47:36. > :47:43.that won the world gold medal in 1985. She's been destined to be a
:47:43. > :47:48.gymnast, and does have similarities to her mother in the real classical
:47:48. > :47:58.elegant style. A beautiful gymnast and will be a great chufpblt
:47:58. > :48:02.
:48:02. > :48:09.-- a great champion. Faith toful the Swan Lake
:48:09. > :48:19.choreography as well -- faithful to the Swan Lake choreography as well.
:48:19. > :48:22.
:48:22. > :48:30.Beautifully done. She's looking anxiously. Well! 14.333. She's gone
:48:30. > :48:34.into second. Just 0.033 behind Wieber. And you know, it will have
:48:34. > :48:41.been that fall out of the double spin. They will have counted that
:48:41. > :48:51.as a fall I think, why else that score? Well, Wieber can't believe
:48:51. > :48:52.
:48:52. > :48:59.it. Komova can't believe it. She's decimated. I honestly thought she
:48:59. > :49:06.had nailed it. So did everyone here in this Arena. But you've made the
:49:06. > :49:13.point so many times, it is not only about the tumbles. What can you say
:49:13. > :49:18.to her now? The atmosphere here is one of disbelief. The only other
:49:18. > :49:24.place they would have had deductions that final tumble, where
:49:24. > :49:28.she landed and her chest was down. But hey! Wieber put her foot out of
:49:28. > :49:38.the floor. They've been scoring floor quite reasonably. Two sets of
:49:38. > :49:44.tears for different reasons. Hannah Whelan I can till scored
:49:44. > :49:50.13.258 and she finished nineth. Which is a fantastic performance,
:49:50. > :50:00.inside the top ten. A superb result for Hannah and for Great Britain.
:50:00. > :50:01.
:50:01. > :50:08.Yao Jinnan scores 14.766. I was talking to Beth earlier. The idea
:50:08. > :50:16.was to try to aim for that 12. To finish nine for Hannah is brilliant.
:50:16. > :50:22.Top ten of the world, that's got a real ring to it. Just look at the
:50:22. > :50:29.state of Komova. I feel for her. She finished that floor routine.
:50:29. > :50:33.She looked down, a beaming smile on her face as if that was it.
:50:33. > :50:38.wonder whether the Russian camp will protest that score. They can
:50:38. > :50:42.protest the D score, the difficulty score. We saw a couple of protests
:50:42. > :50:47.being upheld last night, or two days ago, so I do wonder whether
:50:47. > :50:54.they might. Surely they are going to have a go? You would if you were
:50:54. > :50:58.the coach. Absolutely. When you see her like that, she really is 16
:50:58. > :51:02.years old. She gave in to the pressure there and you suddenly
:51:02. > :51:08.realise this is a young girl at the top of her game who really thought
:51:08. > :51:18.she had done it. I don't think for one minute Wieber thought she had
:51:18. > :51:19.
:51:19. > :51:24.done it. No. Komova, not much of an exchange of tkwhranss -- glance
:51:24. > :51:31.there is. So Jordyn Wieber is the women's all-around world chufpblt
:51:31. > :51:41.Victoria Komova has to settle for sill -- champion. Victoria Komova
:51:41. > :52:17.
:52:17. > :52:23.has to settle for silver. Yao delighted with that? I'm delighted
:52:23. > :52:30.to have improved so much. I enjoyed the competition today and I enjoyed
:52:30. > :52:37.my routines. What impressed you the most? The vault. Overall I really
:52:37. > :52:42.enjoyed the competition. I went out there and did four clean routines.
:52:42. > :52:48.The bars, if you can improve that a little, the only way is up? Bars
:52:48. > :52:54.are one of my weak pieces so hopefully I can improve on the bars
:52:54. > :52:59.and up my overall score. How do you think your performances have come
:52:59. > :53:04.on this week from the final? qualifications there was a lot of
:53:04. > :53:09.pressure. Teams, you want to do it for them as well. Today I just came
:53:09. > :53:14.here to enjoy it, without much pressure on me. But feel a top ten
:53:14. > :53:20.finish was in the offing today? was kind of wanting it secretly to
:53:20. > :53:24.myself. And then as I was going along it was seemed more possible.
:53:24. > :53:29.Looking ahead to the Olympics they can year, obviously there's a lot
:53:29. > :53:38.of work to do to get into the top eight in the world, but hate to be
:53:38. > :53:45.a target, -- but it has to be a target? I want to go back and do
:53:45. > :53:52.the best that I can do. Jordyn Wieber takes gold. You could well
:53:52. > :53:57.see those three on the medals podium in London 2012, but what
:53:57. > :54:02.order would they be in? Congratulations. There was gasps
:54:02. > :54:09.when the score came up. How did you file? Ways so surprised. I had a
:54:09. > :54:14.little mistake on bars but I tried my best. I finished the floor
:54:14. > :54:20.review even if the best I could. I was so happy. Were you worried at
:54:20. > :54:26.the time that you had blown your chance of a gold medal then?
:54:26. > :54:30.little bit. It was only halfway through. I knew I would come back
:54:30. > :54:37.strong. How important for your journey to London 2012 was getting
:54:37. > :54:41.on the podium here? It was very important. It was my first World
:54:41. > :54:46.Championships. He high expectations for myself. I wanted to do as well
:54:46. > :54:51.as I could. I'm so happy it turned out this way. There is so much
:54:51. > :54:56.competition to get into the team. Johnson is on the way back. The
:54:56. > :55:01.list is endless of people who could get into the team. Did you feel
:55:01. > :55:06.confident you've got the place not quite booked but you've underlined
:55:06. > :55:10.your name? I can't get too confident, there is a whole year.
:55:10. > :55:19.We've got strong girls in the US. If I keep healthy and work hard,
:55:19. > :55:23.can I reach that goal. And you have two gold med tools your name. Five
:55:23. > :55:27.gold medals? That would be a dream come true. I'm really excited to
:55:27. > :55:32.compete in the individual and then finals. The flags are descending
:55:32. > :55:37.behind us. We didn't expect that order at the finish, did we?
:55:37. > :55:43.probably did at the start of the day but the way the competition
:55:43. > :55:47.panned out, it was a surprise to us all. But when we looked back at the
:55:47. > :55:52.replays Komova gave the judges the opportunity to deduct and they took
:55:53. > :56:00.it. You put your money on Wieber but did you want Komova to win at
:56:00. > :56:03.the end. She is a lovely gymnast... Is that a yes? Yes. Unfortunately
:56:03. > :56:08.she struggled today with her feet. You could tell she wasn't happy on
:56:08. > :56:13.if floor. It was a case of I want to get through these routines and
:56:13. > :56:19.get off the floor. That's the thing with women's gymnastics, there's
:56:19. > :56:27.only four pieces of apparatus, so when something goes wrong it is a
:56:27. > :56:32.challenge to get back. You have more to concentrate on the boys'
:56:32. > :56:35.gymnastics. Ali did well, she came fourth. Lots of twists and turns in
:56:35. > :56:40.the story of this competition. think probably the Chinese gymnasts
:56:40. > :56:46.should be the most disappointed. They did the stuff they are not so
:56:46. > :56:52.good at and cave and beam. They've both got good routines. They could
:56:52. > :56:56.have had one and two had they not caved in on beam. But the top three
:56:56. > :57:00.or all 16. What does that say for the future? We've got to see
:57:00. > :57:04.whether they can survive the storms. It is easy to burst on the scene at
:57:04. > :57:11.16. It is much more difficult to deal with the ups and downs and
:57:11. > :57:16.still be fighting back at 19 or 20. If they can do, that we will see
:57:16. > :57:26.whether Komova has got, as you said, the steel in her heart to fight
:57:26. > :57:27.
:57:27. > :57:33.back and take the gold medal at the Olympics. Hannah took ninth, by far
:57:33. > :57:37.her lowest score. She will have seen there were a lot of falls
:57:37. > :57:42.elsewhere. She will have done the giant pull at the end just for
:57:42. > :57:48.Hannah to come out with a clean, safe spot. Nine sth a massive
:57:48. > :57:52.achievement on what she scored last year. Will you now be involved in
:57:52. > :57:57.her bars coaching? I wouldn't say that. Amanda is one of the best bar
:57:57. > :58:01.coaches in the country. She's got stuff she's working on in every
:58:01. > :58:05.piece, so coming into the Olympics she will make up her grades. There
:58:05. > :58:12.is more sport for you on the Red Button throughout the night. The
:58:12. > :58:20.first practise session of the Korean Grand Prix. Coverage starts
:58:20. > :58:24.at 1.5am. Tomorrow is all about the men. We'll be swapping with Dan
:58:24. > :58:33.Purves. Daniel Purves of Great Britain.
:58:33. > :58:40.Come on, Daniel. Lovely height. Daniel Purves is brilliant in the
:58:40. > :58:43.air. Very well controlled. A really strong performance from
:58:43. > :58:51.Daniel Purves. You can catch highlights of Dan's competition on
:58:52. > :58:58.BBC Two at 1.00pm. Coverage starts on-line and on the Red Button at 10
:58:58. > :59:03.to 11. Dan that two Americans and two Japanese at the moment. He's
:59:03. > :59:08.ranked fifth. Excellent. He is Mr Consistency. He believes he can do
:59:08. > :59:12.better. Will you be back for that will be. He's cool, calm and
