Welcome to Tokyo, the host of the World Gymnastics Championships. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Last night it was the stage for a dramatic pommel horse performance | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
and Great Britain's Louis Smith was in the spotlight. Anything can | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
happen on pommel horse. There was almost a feeling of all or nothing | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
:02:01. | :02:08. | ||
here. As far as difficult is and he lost it in the very last bit. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
That was a huge shame. We will it be enough? We will have to wait and | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
:02:23. | :02:24. | ||
see it. He keeps his cool. Tommasone goes ahead of Smith. | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
lad will challenge. What is the pressure like out there? It seems | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
the key in this final is stay on! This is the man that can stand in | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
the way of Louis Smith. Krisztian Berki or, world pommel horse | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
Louis Smith deserves a gold medal for ever but I'm sure he's happy | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
with a bronze. More vibrant gymnastics to come. The men will be | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
hitting the roof with the vault. The girls will balance on the beam. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
The men will finish up around the bars. But there is one other final | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
that Great Britain will be very interested in because it includes | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
:03:22. | :03:43. | ||
Beth will be in motion later on but we will start today's apparatus | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
:03:53. | :03:59. | ||
be a master of speed, co-ordination and elegance. The margins are high. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Get it right and you will soar like an eagle. Get it wrong and there is | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
nowhere to hide. So the top three from last year's World | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Championships are all in this vault final, including the current world | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
and European champion from France. There is one athlete who is not | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
involved in this as he was injured yesterday. The current world | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
champion, current European vault champion. Highest qualifier here. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
You can see the chalk on the shins. Those legs will be grabbed and | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
:04:50. | :04:57. | ||
the look on his feet every time! That is going to take an awful lot | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
of beating. I have seen him do that a dozen times in the last month and | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
he stuck it every time. Absolutely massive. Another chance to see it | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
here. I thought he had almost left the half-turn too late that he | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
hadn't. He timed it perfectly and brought his feet either side of the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
white line. The great thing about this landing is you can see him | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
spotting the floor. As long as you have got the height you can time it | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
:05:34. | :05:37. | ||
perfectly. 16.666! A difficulty of seven. A huge score for the current | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:47. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :05:47. | :06:28. | |
around nice and easy but how do you make the balance between squeezing | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
in the double pike and baking the M landing. He almost put in too much | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
rotation there. He did fabulously whelp not to sit that out. He pulls | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
it in and he lambs with his hips behind his feet. Really had to | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
react quickly to take those steps back. They will be costly but not | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
as costly as the one hole mark he would have lost had he sat down. | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
His chest he is down. About 0.8? Easily. But didn't he wrestle | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:14. | ||
against it? The highest qualifier scores 16.187, with the two vaults. | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
:07:24. | :07:46. | ||
enough to know what he has to do. And that is enough to start with. A | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
double pike with a start. Just mentally rehearsing this second | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
:08:04. | :08:14. | ||
vault. It is going to be a seven as land dead because he was coming | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
down well. The judges will certainly not have any deductions | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
:08:30. | :08:33. | ||
for height or leather. -- the length. 16.333. Just a little bit | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
:08:44. | :09:02. | ||
down on the score of the Frenchman round. It almost looks like a side | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Somerset at -- side somersault at one point but then he got it round. | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
He has got his own stamp on the technique. So he will rot -- not | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
lose marks even though he turns? think what he will lose marks for | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
:09:31. | :09:41. | ||
rolls it round, almost as a sort of side somersault, and he will lose | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
four that extension before he lambs. Mind boggling, that rotation. He | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
has gone into the lead, with a score of 16.366! 0.179 ahead of the | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
:10:08. | :10:34. | ||
finals. I have just noticed this is Fabulous. The straight shape, three | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
twists. Quite remarkable vaulting. And he is only about 18, isn't he? | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
:10:50. | :11:17. | ||
the angle out. Really tight. This any vault ever, 7.4? Yes, | :11:17. | :11:27. | |
:11:27. | :11:40. | ||
it. He is going for day seven. So far day seven is the easiest vault | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
we have seen -- is the most difficult bowled we have seen but | :11:44. | :11:54. | |
:11:54. | :12:09. | ||
Surely he has done enough for gold. He changed the approach this time, | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
:12:19. | :12:34. | ||
which he has to do, but that same because he can twist both | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
directions. He is great in both of them. Fabulous. Put your gold medal | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
in your pocket now, young man! is in second. There is confirmation. | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
:12:57. | :13:07. | ||
Metropolitan arena. As Okiguchi is introduced. He is the second | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
:13:17. | :13:24. | ||
highest qualifier in this Wild vault as we have just seen. Not | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
:13:34. | :13:54. | ||
quite as clean, I don't think. Depends how the judges see it but | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
just a little bit of a cross of the legs, especially in that last twist. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
Fantastic work, though. You are right, Mitch, the Bar has been | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
:14:14. | :14:31. | ||
on he needs to score another 16.187 to get into the medals and knock | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :15:06. | ||
the world champion from last yet of somersault. It is good. Is it good | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
enough? I do not think so. He took a pace to that Syed and the judging | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
has been very good. -- he took a pace to decide. Plenty of attack. I | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
:15:31. | :15:57. | ||
follow the gymnast that did the same vault with an extra half twist. | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
:16:07. | :16:24. | ||
Whereas this is not commonplace, it position. There is your new world | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
champion, Yang of Korea. What a performance from him. Confirmation | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:42. | ||
of the men's vault final. We wondered how this would go, last | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
year's world champion going first, he finished in 4th place. This was | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
:16:59. | :17:06. | ||
the hardest difficulty we have ever two female stars of this - Victoria | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Komova and Jordyn Wieber, and it is fair to say they have had a ding- | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
dong battle so far. This is an absolute ruler. What a cracking | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:35. | ||
see what Victoria Komova can do. She has won it, what a final this | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
has been. That was impressive, beautifully done again. Just like | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :17:51. | ||
that. Victoria Komova, gold at last. This is the start list for the | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
:18:01. | :18:19. | ||
championships. What can she do? qualification she was one of two | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
gymnasts who had difficulty score of 6.4, the highest. This is one of | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
the reasons why - watch this. That was enormously difficult. This is | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
another very big series. She has to be dead in line for the straight | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :19:05. | ||
back somersault, body beautiful it those two elements. She doesn't | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
have to, but she gets a bonus if she does. She performed that well. | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
It was a little wobbly in the previous competitions. You saw her | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
head go right back, her foot touching their head. That is one of | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
the most difficult elements. Now she just has to watch her feet come | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
:19:41. | :19:56. | ||
down to the beam, left up high, and in slow-motion. That was good | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
strong work. Again, not the fluency, but very strong acrobatics. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
followed it up with some incredible stuff. Front somersault, very | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
positive. Shoulders and hips square. This was a courageous routine. It | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
went very well. A little bit of pace here, but that is what they | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
have to beat. So she already has a bronze. Will she be able to hang on | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
:20:39. | :20:51. | ||
yesterday, the highest qualifier here. The pressure is on. I find | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
this work amazing because she is so slight and elegant, and so powerful | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
:21:06. | :21:08. | ||
as well. Really precise, she holds the middle of her body so tight. | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
And the standing Arabian, she really performed that well. She | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
hits the splitter action so effortlessly. And moves with good | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
speed. This is how you add up your bonuses. I don't think they will | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
have given the jump from the free walk over. She is fighting a little | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
bit now. This is important. The double spin, has to step forward... | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
And she didn't. She had a little error in that before, and it | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
obviously weighed on her mind a little bit. A very difficult | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
element, right at the end of the routine. Really, very disappointing | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
:22:14. | :22:16. | ||
for her. The difficulty and the execution, will that be enough to | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
keep her in the medals? I don't think so. I would be very surprised. | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
One hallmark off when you fall. She won't have got the difficulty for | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
some of these elements. This standing Arabian is really | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
impressive. Just a little bit in the wrong direction with her knees | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
and feet, but what about this. lost body shape. You have to stay | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
tall, and she tried to look for the beam too early. To follow, set up | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
:23:05. | :23:07. | ||
the double with two flicks. It is a pity. 13.766. Who will be getting a | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
medal on this piece of apparatus? Jordyn Wieber, such a commanding | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
performance in the all-round to get the gold. This is quite a different | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
:23:31. | :23:47. | ||
style, very attacking and dynamic. going for every link. She can jump | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
so well - she hovers in the air. Side somersault. Just fights a | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
little bit. The single spin has to be included. It does not have to | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:15. | ||
have the lead held up, but it does have to be included. -- the leg. | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
:24:25. | :24:27. | ||
The quarter turn difficult to land because you can't see the beam. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Landing strongly, into a back flip. There have been a couple of wobbles, | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:42. | ||
but such huge difficulty and precision of movement. One flip, or | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
higher, two 1/2 twists and a very good landing. That was a very solid | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
performance. Could that be gold number three? It will be tied. | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
accurate, and the attack. That one- arm flick is always impressive. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
That, where she puts that towards the end of the routine, standing | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
full twist. Keep your focus until the very end. What will the judges | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:32. | ||
make of it? It will be close. not enough. 15.133 puts her in | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
silver or medal position and not a flicker of emotion from Jordyn | :25:38. | :25:48. | |
:25:48. | :26:01. | ||
Jordyn Wieber? A quiet start. So strong and solid in that pike front | :26:01. | :26:11. | |
:26:11. | :26:12. | ||
somersault and that is where you say there was no doubting the link. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
That was one of the most difficult moves you will see, given one of | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
:26:27. | :26:29. | ||
the best ratings. She can leap as well, her head went back. The free | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
walkover into the Pike back somersault. She knows that if she | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
wants a medal she had to make every link. There is still more to come, | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
she needs to keep concentrating. They have to do forwards, sideways | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
and backwards elements. The difficult jump with the head right | :26:57. | :27:06. | |
back, the gymnast lose sight of the beam. That was the first hesitation | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
on the link. It has been a great performance so far. Can she match | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
this with a great dismount? She can. Funny, that was the best routine of | :27:19. | :27:28. | |
the day so far. I think she would agree. A fantastic mix of power, | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
grace and elegance. She is a tiny little thing, but looks so | :27:33. | :27:43. | |
:27:43. | :27:45. | ||
classical on the beam. Look at this, and half turn. Really strong | :27:45. | :27:53. | |
movement. That free walk over, straight into the back flip and | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
Pike somersault. She shows really good variety of moves, and the | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
final element, the double pike, we have seen a couple of steps from | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
:28:11. | :28:13. | ||
most gymnasts but not this time. She held firm, no deductions. | :28:13. | :28:23. | |
:28:23. | :28:33. | ||
was two Americans in the middle. Lu Sui tips the balance. She takes | :28:33. | :28:41. | |
gold. On we go over to the parallel bars, | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
where the home hero is in his 6th final, but can he make it three | :28:46. | :28:56. | |
:28:56. | :29:13. | ||
here is his name. We are looking at the finest all-round gymnast there | :29:13. | :29:23. | |
:29:23. | :29:54. | ||
took third place here last year. The second gymnast or pin this | :29:54. | :30:01. | |
final. He always teeters around the medals, just outside in the world | :30:01. | :30:09. | |
championships. 32 years of age now, the Greek. So lots of experience to | :30:09. | :30:19. | |
:30:19. | :30:52. | ||
well of the bars. That was a real no-nonsense performance. He set the | :30:52. | :30:59. | |
world alight. He has some really original stuff. He is a long lad so | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
it looks really good when he is swinging. At a 32 years of age he | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
has piled in the experience. Lovely technique on the under SMA and this | :31:09. | :31:19. | |
:31:19. | :31:31. | ||
challenge for him. Where did he qualify? Eighth, believe it or not. | :31:31. | :31:38. | |
15.533. Strong bars routine. Some good work is to come. Look at the | :31:38. | :31:45. | |
execution score, 9.033! The current world champion on this piece of | :31:45. | :31:55. | |
:31:55. | :32:27. | ||
vertical when he hit. The full term, did he make that one up? -- full | :32:27. | :32:37. | |
:32:37. | :32:57. | ||
turn. If he did so he thought very on a double pike. Have a look at | :32:57. | :33:04. | |
his face. What about that? Zipping around like a Catherine wheel and | :33:04. | :33:12. | |
then he produced a brand new move! He did a fall of turn. He was off- | :33:12. | :33:20. | |
beam and he took an extra turn. He did think very, very quickly. | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
at that. He has done a full somersault BAe the time he gets to | :33:24. | :33:33. | |
the top. -- By the time. So often, the legs are a little bit apart. | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
This is the innovation you were talking about, Mitch. I am sure | :33:36. | :33:46. | |
:33:46. | :33:49. | ||
chat about it as he came off, in case anyone thought it was | :33:49. | :33:57. | |
unplanned. It has been given a difficulty of 6.6, so he is down by | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
0.2. He's caused 15.2, and the world champion is in a third. -- he | :34:04. | :34:13. | |
:34:14. | :34:14. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :34:14. | :34:57. | |
fabulous performance. In deed. Look at the fire in his belly! He did | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
not qualify for the high bar final but he was swinging their with just | :35:02. | :35:09. | |
as much flamboyance. Step dad. -- as always. That was swing from | :35:09. | :35:19. | |
:35:19. | :35:29. | ||
start to finish. It was great to swinging and doing pirouettes, | :35:29. | :35:35. | |
hitting the handstands. He did not hit the high bar final but he has | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
treated us to hide our work because this is amazing stuff. He really | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
should get a stack of credit for this. He has got to be in front | :35:44. | :35:54. | |
:35:54. | :36:03. | ||
because that was amazing. He had a bad bounces around with as much | :36:03. | :36:11. | |
excitement event with the tenor roles in the gym that he wrens. Us | :36:11. | :36:21. | |
:36:21. | :36:21. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :36:21. | :37:09. | |
qualification. This guy knows how he tried to punch the air but he | :37:10. | :37:19. | |
:37:20. | :37:20. | ||
was punching the DEC really because he was bending down. He's quite a | :37:20. | :37:27. | |
tall gymnast with a lovely line. The opening front somersault, | :37:27. | :37:37. | |
:37:37. | :37:49. | ||
landed upright and then he went back down. Such a shame. He needs | :37:49. | :37:55. | |
over 15.5333 to get up into the top three. He has done it! It gives him | :37:55. | :38:05. | |
:38:05. | :38:05. | ||
joint silver. Clare had a Uchimora -- Kohei Uchimura has had the | :38:05. | :38:15. | |
:38:15. | :38:15. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :38:15. | :39:05. | |
privilege of watching the bars with that landing. Just a pity he | :39:05. | :39:11. | |
just got a softness in the back. Pretty philosophical about it. | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
have seen him up his difficulty from the all-around so, Kris, you | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
make the point, didn't you, that he must be working on more difficult | :39:21. | :39:27. | |
stuff, and we have seen it in every individual apparatus final? Yes, | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
every final he has gone for a bit more difficult to, which has made | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
him make a few little arrows. You just sort just a slight loss of but | :39:38. | :39:48. | |
:39:48. | :39:57. | ||
it will not be a huge reduction. -- longs better. Oh! It is fourth. | :39:57. | :40:04. | |
Execution of nine but a score of 15.5. But there is the new parallel | :40:04. | :40:14. | |
:40:14. | :40:21. | ||
bar world champion, Danell Leyva up absolute master of the bars. He | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
went all out for difficulty and it proved the right decision. He gets | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
the gold medal, ahead of the Greek who at last makes the grade in the | :40:31. | :40:37. | |
top three at the World Championship, alongside Chenglong, baked high for | :40:37. | :40:45. | |
The last of the women's apparatus finals, the floor. The British team | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
love to shop. Earlier I caught up with Beth for a bit of retail | :40:49. | :40:59. | |
:40:59. | :41:05. | ||
We were just saying it is your Knight World Championships. Yes, I | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
did my first in 2001 and then they changed the rules from doing it | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
every two years to doing it every year so I have done it every year | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
except for Olympic years. And how does a Japan affair to the others? | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
It has been difficult -- different in the competition but also just | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
the whole culture. There are some very bizarre things in this street. | :41:26. | :41:32. | |
Plastic food. None of this food is real. That is all plastic. | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
haven't had much chance to go and look at all of this. My parents | :41:36. | :41:45. | |
have said that every time they go plastic meal and then hope it comes | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
out nicer. Your mother and father follow you all over the world? | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
there have been to every competition apart from five or six | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
over my whole career. And everyone who is on the team kind of gets | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
adopted as their child for the week. So can you go to ten World | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
Championships? No, this will be my last one. Ten to 12 is the main | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
goal, to keep going. Maybe after the Olympics I will do some | :42:12. | :42:20. | |
appearance displays and things but not on the world circuit. Back in | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
2009, you missed floors and you got bar. Now you have missed bars, what | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
does that mean for floor? Well, there is totally node championship | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
-- pressure on me for this championship. The point was the | :42:34. | :42:40. | |
team are. To be honest, I am just going to go out there and enjoy it. | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
Go out on a high. Yes. What does the future hold for you? What would | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
you do with yourself? There are a lot of different options and I will | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
have to see what comes my way when I come to the end of my career. I | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
will definitely not walk away from gymnastics. But how I will stay | :42:59. | :43:05. | |
involved is still yet to be decided. But more of a relaxing lifestyle? | :43:05. | :43:11. | |
hope so. Just a training schedule... Yes, I will suddenly have an extra | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
30 hours a week in my life and to be honest I do not know what I will | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
do with myself. To suddenly have all these extra time for the first | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
few months, I will have to start tapering down my training, not just | :43:24. | :43:34. | |
:43:34. | :43:36. | ||
stop. Why you're OK for socks? can get every cartoon character! | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
You could get a pink skull and crossbones. You could put that on | :43:40. | :43:46. | |
your leotard. I am glad you do not choose our leotards! We have got to | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
get those. I might actually get Mitch Fenner or a pair of those for | :43:52. | :44:02. | |
:44:02. | :44:22. | ||
Well, three replacements are now world champion, Chelaru, and the | :44:22. | :44:32. | |
:44:32. | :44:32. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :44:32. | :45:58. | |
quarter turn. Lots of energy in this routine. Huge double pike, | :45:58. | :46:07. | |
that has been the best landing so far. | :46:07. | :46:16. | |
You just saw her get a Brahms on beam and that was her bid for | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
another medal. No big deductions on landing, but the rest will have to | :46:24. | :46:33. | |
:46:34. | :46:34. | ||
do not put a foot wrong to beat her. Plenty of power on show. 1 1/2 | :46:34. | :46:44. | |
:46:44. | :46:51. | ||
twists, emphatic walkout, into the trouble. -- triple. You can never | :46:51. | :47:01. | |
:47:01. | :47:04. | ||
fold the attack and the aggression. This was her third apparatus final | :47:04. | :47:09. | |
at these world championships, can she get another medal? The current | :47:09. | :47:19. | |
:47:19. | :47:23. | ||
world champion, Lauren Mitchell. She was a reserve. She is expected | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
to have the highest difficulty level, but it is important she | :47:27. | :47:33. | |
links these just like that. The double Arabian, jumped straight out | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
of it so no landing deductions. Straight back for another huge | :47:38. | :47:48. | |
:47:48. | :47:56. | ||
tumble, but she doesn't get the jump that time. Super spin. Just a | :47:56. | :48:06. | |
:48:06. | :48:13. | ||
tiny bit lacking split on the leap. The gymnasts ad eight elements for | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
their difficulty total. Five of them acrobatic, like that. Three of | :48:21. | :48:29. | |
them will be leaps or jumps, like these. Oh and that was a big | :48:29. | :48:39. | |
:48:39. | :48:46. | ||
mistake. That was a potential 0.5 deduction. Beautiful soft arms. She | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
is clever, she added the lead series at the end. That is what | :48:51. | :48:59. | |
experience does for you. A another clever exit. Indeed! You have to | :48:59. | :49:06. | |
include a series of two leaps, one showing split. She mocked up the | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
first series, and she was clever enough to think I will put it in | :49:10. | :49:18. | |
right at the end. This spin is something. Yes, a cracking turn and | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
the gymnastic elements are very good as well. The double pike, and | :49:24. | :49:34. | |
:49:34. | :50:04. | ||
that time she did during the spring floor performance in the all round, | :50:04. | :50:14. | |
:50:14. | :50:26. | ||
let's see if she can do it again. A joined it together seamlessly. She | :50:26. | :50:36. | |
:50:36. | :50:39. | ||
just about kept a vertical line in that very difficult spin. Locked | :50:39. | :50:48. | |
swords personality showing through here. Taking a leaf out of | :50:48. | :50:58. | |
:50:58. | :51:00. | ||
Mitchell's book and putting leaps on the end to add more difficulty. | :51:00. | :51:10. | |
:51:10. | :51:14. | ||
She is at home on those leaps. Time for a quick focus. Lofty on the | :51:14. | :51:24. | |
double pike, very confident. Once again, she really does project and | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
sell it. She had a third in the all-round, second on beam, can she | :51:30. | :51:40. | |
:51:40. | :51:42. | ||
go one better? Lovely difficult tumbling, the double straight. That | :51:42. | :51:50. | |
is just one tumble. Worth 0.5. The girls who put two difficult tumbles | :51:50. | :51:58. | |
will probably have a series worth 0.7, 0.8 as their open-air. That is | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
where she has struggled a little bit before. She qualified with the | :52:03. | :52:13. | |
:52:13. | :52:24. | ||
4th highest score, but she has gone Raisman. Could this be her last | :52:24. | :52:34. | |
:52:34. | :52:39. | ||
opportunity for a medal? Wow, that was some tumble. Three elements. | :52:39. | :52:45. | |
And now back with another huge tumble. Double Arabian pike, well | :52:45. | :52:55. | |
:52:55. | :52:55. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :52:55. | :53:55. | |
final tumble, just a tiny skip. has posted a 14.9 on the floor here. | :53:55. | :54:03. | |
This got to beat, 14.866. It is going to be close. Very close | :54:03. | :54:12. | |
indeed. It was very clean. She is not the most graceful of gymnasts | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
but this is so impressive. It is an impressive combination, and then | :54:17. | :54:27. | |
:54:27. | :54:28. | ||
she sticks a front somersault on the end - fabulous. This, the | :54:28. | :54:37. | |
double pike Arabian. Brings her feet down securely. The step will | :54:37. | :54:47. | |
be a deduction, but she was clean here. Her feet were well round. | :54:47. | :54:55. | |
has gone into the lead with a score of 15. 6.1 for difficulty, not many | :54:55. | :55:05. | |
:55:05. | :55:26. | ||
points lost for execution either. carrying forward her elegance and | :55:26. | :55:35. | |
presence on the beam onto the floor. She should be in home territory | :55:35. | :55:43. | |
here, in terms of dance and the gymnastic elements. Lovely, four | :55:43. | :55:53. | |
:55:53. | :56:07. | ||
twist in each direction. Beautiful to watch. Accurate and attractively | :56:07. | :56:17. | |
:56:17. | :56:28. | ||
tumbling has gone well so far but she can't afford to break | :56:28. | :56:34. | |
concentration. Up goes the double pike and a tiny adjustment. Super | :56:34. | :56:39. | |
to watch, absolutely delightful once again. China really are good | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
now on the beam and the floor. have enjoyed that the most of all | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
the routines we have seen. What a super performance from the 19 year- | :56:50. | :57:00. | |
:57:00. | :57:06. | ||
elements come from the dance section. She has this wonderful | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
country pulls in, which scores highly, and then another double | :57:11. | :57:21. | |
:57:21. | :57:22. | ||
spin with her leg held up. More difficulty in the dance element. | :57:23. | :57:30. | |
She has gone into the lead! That gold medal will go nicely with the | :57:30. | :57:40. | |
:57:40. | :57:40. | ||
one she has just won on beam, but can she hang on to it? Beth Tweddle, | :57:40. | :57:49. | |
going for her six World Championships medal. She has got to | :57:49. | :57:56. | |
present this outstandingly. The 1 1/2, the walkout, into the strong | :57:56. | :58:06. | |
:58:06. | :58:14. | ||
her face. The big strong double pike Arabian, and the little jump | :58:14. | :58:24. | |
:58:24. | :58:24. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :58:24. | :59:09. | |
tumbling series for the end. Lovely full twisting front somersault and | :59:09. | :59:17. | |
the super landing. Super Challenge. What a way to end your world | :59:17. | :59:25. | |
championships. Her only final, she needs has got over 14.866. It is to | :59:25. | :59:32. | |
be aghast. Did not hold back, and these tumbles, when she does them | :59:32. | :59:42. | |
:59:42. | :59:42. | ||
they are so impressive. Into the double tuck. Double pike, pulling | :59:42. | :59:49. | |
hard. It is a long way round from the Arabian approach. Nicely | :59:49. | :59:55. | |
anticipated the landing. Made the leap, and almost went over the | :59:55. | :00:01. | |
barrier but she did so well to keep it under control. I thought she did | :00:01. | :00:11. | |
:00:11. | :00:16. | ||
a grand job, and look at this for a well be the last score she ever | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
:00:26. | :00:26. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :00:26. | :01:45. | |
receives at a World Championships. selling the routine well. She has | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
had very clean landings. The last one, very secure as well. This is a | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:02. | ||
beautiful floor routine to finish the women's championship. This file | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
has been a story of replacements. I thought she grasped the opportunity | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
:02:17. | :02:29. | ||
with both hands. Very nicely done. best until last! Afanaseva was | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
shocked when she saw the scoreboard, 15.133. The reserve takes the lead. | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
There is confirmation that the reserve takes gold. Afanaseva, and | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
:02:52. | :02:55. | ||
it was a story of execution over If this is your last World | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
Championships, is it a sour note or is it something to drive you on to | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
2012? A low, because the goal was qualification for the team. -- no. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
I am starting to get used to read now that I am going home but I am | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
pleased to get out, walk away from these championships, we have the | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
team qualified and I can walk towards 2012 now. Was the score a | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
fair reflection? Yes. I did step out a bit, any a bit, my big toe | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
was a bit over. And I did have a big step on the first tumble. So | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
:03:44. | :03:48. | ||
British gymnastics, and she can leave with her head held high. | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:06. | ||
So, on to the hive off. Uchimura being prepared. I know that I can | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
:04:16. | :04:16. | ||
do it higher than 16. I thought, all or nothing. And I have nothing | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
to lose. Look at that fantastic body shape! I have to fight. It was | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
a perfect fight for made. He really is giving it a maximum. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
dismount, everything was perfect. Just like that! That really is a | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
challenge! Well done, Philipp boy! What can you do to get past | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Uchimura and get a gold medal next year? At the moment, I can do | :04:53. | :05:03. | |

day I think, one day I have to beat Kohei Uchimura. At the moment it is | :05:06. | :05:12. | |

everyone has banned the Hyde Park plain sailing at these | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
:05:24. | :05:30. | ||
championships. -- not everyone has move. What is going on in the | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
arena? He is going to sit there and think about it and that could be it. | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
Oh, wow! He is human after all. Right, hold on to your hats and | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
recorded. It is time for high bar. What a line-up. Uchimura will wrap | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
up the competition, as well. We will start with an absolute duty as | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
:06:08. | :06:08. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :06:08. | :07:06. | |
board to get some interesting to the mat but that has. The | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
:07:16. | :07:16. | ||
gauntlet right down because he has not gone wrong one iota. That is | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
very much the challenge when you are the first gymnast up. You do | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
not know what everyone else is going to do so you have to go for | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
broke, and he did just that. Just a couple of tiny adjustments but the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
releases were fabulous. Caught at arm's length. Is this the one when | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
he just had to... Yes, just a little adjustment but that will not | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
be a massive adjustment -- deduction. A lovely lift into the | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
:07:56. | :07:58. | ||
elements. A super dismount. 0.3 for the harp, Mitch! -- 0.3 for the hop, | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:11. | ||
Mitch? I would say so. 16.233, difficulties 7.5. It is big. The | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
current European Hyde Park champion backed himself a silver at last | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
year's World Championships. -- European high a bar champion. | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
should go for what he is trained, a 7.8 difficulty. That in itself | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
:08:42. | :08:43. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :08:43. | :09:24. | |
would be a work record performance going for broke now. My hat is off | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
to you, young man. I know what went into that routine. He gave it the | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
maximum. What a guy! What a performance. Mitch, what have you | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
been doing with him in the training gym? Well, not enough, obviously, | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
because if I had done the job right, he would be standing up from that, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
but he has done so much work on his style and this is a combination | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
that is just amazing. A full twist in the straight and then what does | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
he do, Christine? Well, he did all that fantastic work. There is the | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
straight, into the dark. Maximum bonus when you link these together. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
-- into the tub. But it was the relatively straightforward move | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
that he got caught out on and that often happens when you are putting | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
in extreme difficulty. You relax a bit and something catches you out. | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
what went into that and all the training. We did not think that | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
move would be the problem. We thought the Gaylord would be the | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
problem but he did that be divided. He was set up for a medal but there | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
you go, that is what the sport is all about. Well, he's into second | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
:10:54. | :10:54. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :10:54. | :12:03. | |
Fast hands and a different style of routine. Lots of twisting and | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
turning. He has put in those releases. On top of the twists. A | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
bit controversial, when he won the Olympics. But this is good as well. | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
Fabulous style in the releases. Over the bar. It is the front | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
somersault that I really liked. With the full twist. Absolutely | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
fantastic. Very unusual. You do not see many of those and they are one | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
of the most difficult releases you will see. Strong dismount. The | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
landing was deep, wasn't it? But he held his feet and recovered well. | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
It has got to be a 7.5, I would think. He has done a 7.7 and I | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
cannot see too much difference in the routine. 7.7. He has gone into | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
:13:12. | :13:14. | ||
the lead, 16.441. Some 0.7. -- 7.7. This final certainly is not over | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:24. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :13:24. | :14:17. | |
yet. Welcome to the current high pressure. He chose his focus and | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
determination to get them at the medals. Great stuff. Beta NT two | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
year-old -- the 22-year-old did not disappoint us but this will be a | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
story of difficulty. Two such different gymnasts from China, here. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
One is a tall gymnast, lovely style, lovely line. And he was very late | :14:45. | :14:55. | |
:14:55. | :15:10. | ||
with fads grit correct. -- with for the bar, into the straight | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
somersault. Really lots of variety to his work at the same technique | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:27. | ||
on landing. Absolutely is secured. Soap Suu Kyi has 16.441. Can he | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
:15:37. | :15:38. | ||
hang on in the lead? He can! 16.366 for his team-mate, Chenglong sang. | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:56. | ||
So Chenglong is in second at the mate? It was his high bar routine | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
that put him into the medals for the call round. This will be | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
impressive. He has proved he can do it under pressure. It is very | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
:16:20. | :16:36. | ||
Oh, and who is off. There is no way he could survive that one. A little | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
enigmatic smile. He said even I am not going to try to hold on to that. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
He missed completely with his right hand. What a shame for him. The | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
high bar was the key to the medals for hemmed in the all-round | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
:17:01. | :17:34. | ||
can't come back from this. It is but he is a great on high bar. We | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
saw that in the other round. It was not to be today. Ultimate respect | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
from the crowd. He had a go, that's the spirit. A really gritty gymnast. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
Hit this routine so well in the all-round competition when it meant | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
the silver medal. But he was edgy right from the beginning. These | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
releases court a little bit close. Then, as he came out, he didn't get | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
the hand on, he didn't get the fingers over, and it was self | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
preservation from then on in, I think. Lovely dismount. He will | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
walk away from these championships happy with his silver all round | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:40. | ||
medal. Philip boy, 14.3. Hasn't it worked out beautifully that this | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
man closes the world championships here in Tokyo. In the world of | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:57. | ||
gymnastics, this man is an absolute superstar. Kohei Uchimura, what | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
have you got for us? The final routine at this year's world | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
championships. Lovely extension just to get him going. Puts the | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
full twist in, and it was absolutely immaculate. Legs apart | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:28. | ||
slightly. Lovely, jam half. Nice and strong in the swing. He has | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
already increased his difficulty from qualifying. Here is the | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
:19:43. | :19:43. | ||
combination, keeps it going. Another big one. There it is. Sue | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:59. | ||
Perth. Keeping this swing. What an incredible way to close these | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
championships. This man is phenomenal. He is a genius, he | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
really is. He knows how to give people what they want at just the | :20:09. | :20:18. | |
right time. He brings the apparatus finals to a close in the style only | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
he has. All these difficult skills, we have seen all the gymnasts do | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
them but only he does them without deduction and that is what sets him | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
:20:40. | :20:43. | ||
apart from the rest of the world. His difficulty was the 6.7. Style, | :20:43. | :20:52. | |
flares and the arms out. This is what makes him so special. Yes, he | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
says! Look at his smile. Can the crowd applaud him one more time | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
from the medals podium? Let's hope so. Everybody waiting, everybody | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
:21:14. | :21:43. | ||
wondering. He has got himself a bronze medal. Thant I've the one... | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:55. | ||
Zou Kai, literally hands-on for gold. He knocks his team-mate off | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:10. | ||
the top spot, the world number one ranking. Chenglong, he will settle | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
for silver. Can you imagine doing a performance like that in front of | :22:15. | :22:24. | |
your home crowd?! The results of the final. The Olympic champion | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
becomes world champion. The former world champion takes silver. Kohei | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
Uchimura gets a bronze medal to go with his two golds and the silver. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
As the closing ceremony begins, I feel quite sad it is all over | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
because it has been so entertaining. Unbelievable. We have seen a new | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
style and approach to the apparatus. The highlight for me was the | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
parallel bar. This huge difficulty on the men's side, it was fabulous | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
to watch. The men's vault was unbelievable, wasn't it? Yes, they | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
are really getting to grips with that platform and it rockets them | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
into the air. Is that how it felt for you, Beth? You will probably be | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
back, won't you? Never say never, but my ultimate goal is 2012. There | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
has been a lot of disappointment but also a lot of success so there | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
has been some surprise champions and surprise medalists. Some people | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
will go away disappointed, some people will go away happy. How did | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
it feel out there? A really enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting to get a | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
medal today. I had to land everything perfectly, which a lot | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
of the others did. A lot of people have asked me if I will be here | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
next year, but when you look at the scores I was only six tents behind. | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
I have just got to work on the landings. This year they have | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
handed in on the landings, whereas previously they have looked at | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
leaps and jumps. I have improved them, now they have gone on to | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
something else. It is something else to work on for 2012. The maybe | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
not as many medals as predicted for Great Britain at these world | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
championships? It looks pretty good. If you look at Louis Smith's bronze | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
medal, true grit. The women's team performance was amazing. Very | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
positive for Great Britain. goals will be feeling very positive | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
going back into the gym? I think so, and it was not a surprise, we | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
really are the 5th best in the world. We should be chasing that | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
4th spot. There is more sport for you on BBC Two at 10pm tonight, and | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
we will bring you all of the news from the test event for the men. | :25:10. | :25:16. |
