:00:22. > :00:30.Well come back to coverage of the Olympic Games here in Rio. We have
:00:31. > :00:41.rejoined the gymnastics competition. This is the men's team final. Torque
:00:42. > :00:45.COMMENTATOR: Russia is leading this men's team final after four
:00:46. > :00:49.rotations ahead of Japan. They are in second. Great Britain at the
:00:50. > :00:53.moment or in third. Still a very, very strong piece of apparatus to
:00:54. > :01:01.come, that is the poll halls. They have finished on the floor, they
:01:02. > :01:06.have done incredibly well. -- the pole horse is to come. We will get a
:01:07. > :01:11.better idea of how things stand. But this being the team final, there is
:01:12. > :01:18.a lot at stake, huge pressure. Every country puts up three gymnasts, and
:01:19. > :01:24.every single sport counts. If you have a fall, that all goes towards
:01:25. > :01:28.the team total score. At the moment, things are looking good for Great
:01:29. > :01:33.Britain. But they just have to sit and wait for now. There is a lot of
:01:34. > :01:39.gymnastics gold to go, even before their final pleas of apparatus. --
:01:40. > :01:43.still to go. Brazil are going to be on the floor, Germany are going to
:01:44. > :01:48.be on the pole horse, the USA will be on the parallel bars and Japan,
:01:49. > :01:59.you can see here, just chalking up and ready to go for the high bar.
:02:00. > :02:07.Kato is just preparing himself. The Nakano will round things off. It's
:02:08. > :02:12.worth bearing in mind that Uchimura, the current world champion, fell in
:02:13. > :02:18.qualification. And he also felt in the team final back in 2012 in
:02:19. > :02:29.London -- he also fell. No doubt he will be trying to put that behind
:02:30. > :02:32.him. Right he Kato -- Roy he Kato will be the first one up, the most
:02:33. > :02:41.difficult task for the Japanese team. He tries to butt out of his
:02:42. > :02:44.mind the fact that they are going for their 17 title in the countries
:02:45. > :02:47.will he tries to put out of his mind.
:02:48. > :03:05.A slight, light gymnast. You can see how the swing changes to give the
:03:06. > :03:10.lift. The back somersault over the bar in the straight position, that
:03:11. > :03:18.is the hardest to do. That was rather short of a handstand, that
:03:19. > :03:24.there are wet. But a lovely straight bit of action there over the bar. --
:03:25. > :03:32.the payroll wet. A combination of pirouettes there. All pirouettes
:03:33. > :03:39.into the hop over the bar. Ads in the upstart. He really has enough
:03:40. > :03:46.swing to be able to wall the time generates wing. Two twists, two
:03:47. > :03:52.somersaults, great landing under so much pressure at this moment, these
:03:53. > :03:58.gymnasts. Tiny errors, but a good start for Japan. Yeah, the first of
:03:59. > :04:04.three gymnasts, he breathes a Saif Badar leave, he sits down, job done.
:04:05. > :04:11.Well done that man -- he breathes a sigh of relief. Each or will follow
:04:12. > :04:18.him, Yusuke Tanaka will be the next athlete up -- Uchimura will follow
:04:19. > :04:22.him. A few moments in that routine where I wasn't sure he would be able
:04:23. > :04:32.to catch the bar again. The first man up, really going for it.
:04:33. > :04:50.What a landing! Japan, the current world champions. He got silver at
:04:51. > :04:56.the Olympics, they have had six golds, three silvers and two
:04:57. > :05:01.bronzes. They made the podium in 12 of the last 14 Olympic Games. Some
:05:02. > :05:09.statistic, that. Not the colour they wanted, though. Mariano of Brazil
:05:10. > :05:18.now. Second of the Brazilian gymnasts. He is in the floor final,
:05:19. > :05:19.stand-by. Some impressive stuff. Very impressive double somersault to
:05:20. > :05:35.start. That was very controlled. I like the handstand like that with
:05:36. > :05:37.a good, straight back. Lovely extension through the shoulders and
:05:38. > :05:51.the feet. Very precise in all his movements on
:05:52. > :05:58.the floor. Oh, but that was the front somersault half-tone straight
:05:59. > :06:03.out of the floor area. -- half turn. That will be a .3 deduction. Nicely
:06:04. > :06:20.done. Good combination. A path of the cheeks. Come off for
:06:21. > :06:24.the big final. Tumble, the full twisting double backs, really nicely
:06:25. > :06:31.performed. Shame that he just had that bout in the middle, but the
:06:32. > :06:36.home crowd thoroughly appreciating this performance. Well, this is the
:06:37. > :06:46.first time that Brazil have ever company did in an Olympic final. --
:06:47. > :06:50.competed. Christopher Brooks now on the keyboard is for the USA. -- the
:06:51. > :07:02.key bars. A really nice start. Slightly clipped off on bar there,
:07:03. > :07:14.we will see what the judges give him. -- one bar. There will be quite
:07:15. > :07:18.a few deductions. Nice splits. Moving over the other bars. Big tip
:07:19. > :07:33.out into the middle. Nice dismount. Muscled his way
:07:34. > :07:37.through. He did, he looked like he was fighting the whole way through
:07:38. > :07:43.that, but it was green. Maybe a few deductions. This is where it becomes
:07:44. > :07:47.really interesting, the difficulty in the execution, how far do you
:07:48. > :07:52.push it? What Ayew capable of and what are you going to lose by
:07:53. > :07:57.executing difficult moves? -- what are you capable of. A lot of guys do
:07:58. > :08:01.really high routines that cannot do them cleanly. It is that fine
:08:02. > :08:05.balance of star value and the execution to come up with it
:08:06. > :08:15.perfectly. Chris Brooks, the second of the gymnasts from the USA. The
:08:16. > :08:19.Nel Ava is yet to go. A score of 14.54 Arthur Mariano. Look at when
:08:20. > :08:23.he burst onto the scene in Glasgow, who is this kid? -- NL Leiva is to
:08:24. > :08:42.go. Suki Tanaka rounds up Japan's high
:08:43. > :08:47.Bart -- Yusuke Tanaka. -- high bar. Is it going to be a high 15? The
:08:48. > :08:55.pressure is on here for the Japanese team. It is their best performer on
:08:56. > :08:59.the high bar. A lovely straight somersault over the bar with the
:09:00. > :09:06.bold twist. Such a difficult element we have seen in performance, so well
:09:07. > :09:09.in this championship. Nicely into the handstand, into the full
:09:10. > :09:14.twisting back somersault, over the bar. When you add those elements
:09:15. > :09:24.together, it is some impressive. And the release.
:09:25. > :09:32.Full turn, just a little bit late on a couple of the turns, need to try
:09:33. > :09:36.and be as near to hand down as possible. I love the technique on
:09:37. > :09:41.that double twist. -- as near to handstand. A little hop on landing,
:09:42. > :09:49.but that was great work under pressure. Yusuke Tanaka went all out
:09:50. > :09:55.the difficulty. He knew he had to make up for his hick up. The Nel
:09:56. > :10:08.Leiva. Renowned for this beautiful gymnastic swing. It is unbelievable,
:10:09. > :10:14.almost perfection. -- Danell Leyva. Long swing, full-term. There is the
:10:15. > :10:21.upper arm element to make sure that he fulfils the requirements.
:10:22. > :10:34.Big dismount. Wow. Well, it is all happening here in this Rio arena. Oh
:10:35. > :10:43.my word, former world champion, we will see him again in the final.
:10:44. > :10:47.Well, what is going to happen on the last these evaporators? Who knows?
:10:48. > :10:48.All we know is it is going to be very, very close -- piece of
:10:49. > :11:02.apparatus. That is fabulous, isn't it, than? It
:11:03. > :11:06.is. Nobody works and the bar like Danell Leyva. He obviously works to
:11:07. > :11:11.his strength by using the full amount on the bar. He didn't expect
:11:12. > :11:15.to be here, the only reason he is in the US team is because somebody had
:11:16. > :11:20.an injury, he has gone and other last-minute and got to a couple of
:11:21. > :11:23.individual apparatus finals. He has got something to prove, he wants to
:11:24. > :11:28.show that he deserves to be in the team, and obviously he is doing
:11:29. > :11:35.that. This is the thing, there is so much competition to get into these
:11:36. > :11:40.teams, 15.1 Tanaka. You know all too well, it is the mental wall those
:11:41. > :11:44.gymnasts who are sitting at home and watching this now in Great Britain
:11:45. > :11:48.that have been such a big part -- it is testament. That competitive
:11:49. > :11:55.spirit has made the British team what it is today. It is. And with
:11:56. > :11:59.GB, it is a spirit that we have got within the team, it is why we do so
:12:00. > :12:03.well, such belief and togetherness, we are the best of friends. There is
:12:04. > :12:08.no bitterness between any of the guys, even some of the guys at home,
:12:09. > :12:11.there are group of 15 of us who are working so hard. I think the
:12:12. > :12:17.strength and depth is what is making us such a great team. Well, we have
:12:18. > :12:23.got a chance to see how Max Whitlock got on on the floor. He is in the
:12:24. > :12:27.floor final. He is renowned for his fabulous twisting. You saw that the
:12:28. > :12:38.full twisting in front into the 2.5 twist. Look at that, 3.5 twist in
:12:39. > :12:42.the front semi with half-tone. -- half turn. Lovely and original
:12:43. > :12:58.section on the floor. Fabulous style. Keeps inside that
:12:59. > :13:07.floor area, but uses the whole of it, that is the requirement. Lovely
:13:08. > :13:13.2.5 front 1.5. This is such a difficult routine because it has got
:13:14. > :13:20.so many twists in it. But he is stylish, well extended. He holds his
:13:21. > :13:27.shape. One more landing needed. There it is. The triple twist. These
:13:28. > :13:32.British lads have given it all here. This level of difficulty, I mean,
:13:33. > :13:36.they make it look so easy. The hours, the effort that is going into
:13:37. > :13:41.this, and they put everything, everything, the sacrifice to do
:13:42. > :13:46.their very best for their country and try their upmost to get this
:13:47. > :13:50.model. Goodness me, lads, you are doing yourself and us proud -- to
:13:51. > :13:55.get this medal. They really are. They haven't put a foot wrong, that
:13:56. > :14:00.is all you can really ask for. This is what the team final is all about.
:14:01. > :14:06.Whoever goes the most clean, who is the most consistent, is going to be
:14:07. > :14:10.up there. One more test. They have got to keep concentrating for one
:14:11. > :14:16.more rotation. Was that a little zero to the players there, -- a
:14:17. > :14:27.little zero. Attention now turns to pummel halls. We will have a look at
:14:28. > :14:32.Japan -- pummel horse. They are genius at what they are doing. Nice,
:14:33. > :14:46.easy start. Composed and ready for this. Huge point between the bars.
:14:47. > :14:57.Another double somersault. This is why he is one of the best in the
:14:58. > :15:04.world on this piece of apparatus. Lost a little bit of strength there.
:15:05. > :15:14.And then the lovely double pike between the bars. Moving on to the
:15:15. > :15:17.end. Swinging one end to the other, a little flick of the head to show
:15:18. > :15:38.he is in control. A swing to handstand, double front
:15:39. > :15:44.with half turn, that is a brilliant routine. Good enough to push them
:15:45. > :16:03.higher and higher up the field. They are so good as a team on this
:16:04. > :16:17.piece of apparatus. All three gymnasts had a start score over
:16:18. > :16:21.seven. 7.4, seven and 7.2. 16.16 the You Hao, and we will get
:16:22. > :16:26.confirmation of how things look with one piece of apparatus to go. It is
:16:27. > :16:32.all change again, Japan lead, Russia now in second, so Japan 0.2 ahead of
:16:33. > :16:43.Russia, China 0.7 off that top spot now. Great Britain are in fourth,
:16:44. > :16:47.United States fifth. Hugely tense and exciting men's team competition
:16:48. > :16:53.here. We will continue the coverage until 10.30, and then we will switch
:16:54. > :16:59.to BBC One, probably for the conclusion to see whether we can get
:17:00. > :17:02.the bronze medal. Also at 10:30pm, Great Britain will take on Canada
:17:03. > :17:12.for a bronze medal in the rugby sevens, that will be live on BBC
:17:13. > :17:21.Four. Japan on floor. Crucial, this, Kenzo Shirai, doing everything he
:17:22. > :17:31.can to keep Japan ahead of the world in the rest of this men's team
:17:32. > :17:36.final. A twisting double tuck as well as multiple twisting
:17:37. > :17:48.somersaults. I think this will be his last tumble. Was that four? Yes,
:17:49. > :17:55.I think it was, he finishes with a quad twist. They are packing in the
:17:56. > :18:00.difficulty now. Job done, that is it. He can sit down and just wait
:18:01. > :18:05.and wonder. Has he done enough to help Japan get that gold medal that
:18:06. > :18:15.his team so desperately want? They have had six golds in the past, but
:18:16. > :18:23.it was a long time ago. Five on the trot in the 60s and 70s. This is why
:18:24. > :18:27.he is the reigning world champion, he is so good. The combination of
:18:28. > :18:33.twists that he does in his routine, but also a triple twist and double
:18:34. > :18:38.tuck, that is unbelievable. In qualification, he had a slight error
:18:39. > :18:43.on one of his tumbles, and only just made the final, but I think he has
:18:44. > :18:51.put that behind him, looking towards trying to get that gold medal as a
:18:52. > :18:57.team. Just give you idea of timings, Brazil are on pommel horse at the
:18:58. > :19:01.moment, all three of them will go first and then Great Britain will be
:19:02. > :19:06.up shortly, so probably in around 12 minutes, we will start to turn our
:19:07. > :19:12.attentions towards the GB effort on the last piece of apparatus. Britain
:19:13. > :19:16.currently fourth behind China, Russia in second, and Japan on the
:19:17. > :19:32.fifth piece apparatus are leading the field. So, sure -- Shirai pacing
:19:33. > :19:42.around, just hoping. They took silver at the last Olympics in 2012.
:19:43. > :19:49.Rejoin the USA on high bar. This is such a close competition. USA,
:19:50. > :19:58.tenths of a point behind Great Britain. There is also much to work
:19:59. > :20:04.for her. Chris Brooks, 29 years old, 6.7 difficulty but he can go higher.
:20:05. > :20:11.And he probably well. One arm long swing, hand back on. Expect some
:20:12. > :20:15.explosive stuff. Full turn, hop over the bar, into a catch with half
:20:16. > :20:23.turn, stalled a little bit, but difficult work. Super straight catch
:20:24. > :20:28.action, and again with the half turn, he uses that so effectively.
:20:29. > :20:41.Lovely straight arms on the catches. Up into the double twist this mount,
:20:42. > :20:45.just the littlest hop. He steered away from too much correcting work,
:20:46. > :20:50.which means he doesn't get lots of deductions were late turns. That was
:20:51. > :20:54.exciting stuff. I tell you what, they know how to light a fire in
:20:55. > :20:59.that team, dead they? Last time they got a medal was back in Beijing,
:21:00. > :21:04.they got the bronze. They are fighting for everything now. This
:21:05. > :21:10.last piece of apparatus, look at Kenzo Shirai, he is just hoping.
:21:11. > :21:15.16.13, a huge score for him. Absolutely huge. Only the second
:21:16. > :21:21.time we have seen a score over 16 on the men's side here in Rio.
:21:22. > :21:29.Everybody is watching each of their team-mates with hope in a hearts.
:21:30. > :21:32.This is the final piece of apparatus, and everyone is in with a
:21:33. > :21:36.shout of getting a medal, they just need to go through their routines,
:21:37. > :21:40.they mustn't allow any errors to give themselves the best shot. What
:21:41. > :21:49.an amazing position to be in. The first six teams could medal.
:21:50. > :21:52.And we said at the beginning, it could go literally anyway, and we
:21:53. > :22:01.would never have predicted it would be so close.
:22:02. > :22:26.Well, Danell Leyva will be the last gymnast at ago. 15.14 Chris Brooks.
:22:27. > :22:31.I hope we get to see Leyva. He is in the high bar final, he has been on
:22:32. > :22:40.form on high bar here. Current world silver medallist, and he has a 7.3
:22:41. > :22:43.difficulty, so if you thought what Chris Brooks did was impressive,
:22:44. > :22:49.this is even harder, and he were held back, because he knows if he
:22:50. > :23:02.goes all out and he hit is, the USA are in with a chance of bronze. Here
:23:03. > :23:09.we go. Fireworks straight up, beautifully caught, lovely straight
:23:10. > :23:17.arms. Here comes the big element. Lovely layout, just a bit of a bent
:23:18. > :23:26.arm on the swing out. Now the tap with the full twist, full treks that
:23:27. > :23:35.time. -- full stretch. Very nippy with the pirouette. Oh no, has gone!
:23:36. > :23:40.I was about to say super catch, and I can't believe it. That was one of
:23:41. > :23:47.the more straightforward skills. He has come off, and goodness me, Leyva
:23:48. > :23:52.with his head down, I'm not sure if he is nursing a finger or thumb, or
:23:53. > :23:57.if he is just heartbroken. Too disappointed to get up. He cannot
:23:58. > :24:03.believe having gone through the complicated releases that that has
:24:04. > :24:08.happened. I think he thought he was an anti-war axed, it was his final
:24:09. > :24:14.release, and he has just come off at the bottom, it is such a shame.
:24:15. > :24:18.APPLAUSE He had his hands right over.
:24:19. > :24:23.It was just like they slipped through the bottom. I think he
:24:24. > :24:31.relaxed to early thinking he was off. Well, what a shame for him now
:24:32. > :24:40.to be going through these moves. There we go, that is how he meant to
:24:41. > :24:49.do it. I would have been sure he would be able to go through for the
:24:50. > :24:52.team. Lovely dismount, good landing, but the one large deduction opens
:24:53. > :24:58.the window a tiny bit for the other teams. And the absolute opposite of
:24:59. > :24:59.what you would expect from a US gymnast nailing a landing there, at
:25:00. > :25:20.a dejection. Kohei Uchimura Jim now. Such style,
:25:21. > :25:27.such lightness. Half twist into one and a half, front into two and a
:25:28. > :25:34.half twists. Moves across the floor so lightly, so confidently. Two and
:25:35. > :25:41.a half in double twisting front. There was a time we were just amazed
:25:42. > :25:45.by a double twisting front. Double twist, double back, he really is
:25:46. > :25:49.pacey in his routine, no stopping in the corner. As soon as he hits one
:25:50. > :26:07.move, out to the next. Extension out of the top position
:26:08. > :26:15.before he rolled. He knows this is so important. Lovely left, super
:26:16. > :26:22.triple twist, a tiny bounce, but he has given his all. Six pieces he has
:26:23. > :26:32.done for the team tonight. Kohei Uchimura can do no more, he follows
:26:33. > :26:36.Kenzo Shirai, and that is it now, Kohei Uchimura just has to sit with
:26:37. > :26:42.his team-mates and watch Russia and hope that they have done enough.
:26:43. > :26:49.So, Russia will wrap up their competition on floor following
:26:50. > :26:56.Japan, but that was just beautiful as far as Uchimura is concerned.
:26:57. > :27:14.Straight over to Russia, all the best, we are done.
:27:15. > :27:19.CLARE BALDING: Just to warn you that coverage of the finale of this
:27:20. > :27:25.competition will be switching to BBC One very shortly. Live coverage now
:27:26. > :27:28.on BBC Four of Great Britain in the women's rugby sevens coming up,
:27:29. > :27:36.their bronze medal match against Canada.
:27:37. > :27:48.MATT BAKER: All three scores will count towards the team total, and
:27:49. > :27:55.there is that score, 15.6, that puts them on a total of 274. The question
:27:56. > :28:20.is, can Russia beat it? Russia need an average of 15.8. That
:28:21. > :28:23.is a big ask even for them. We have had Kenzo Shirai scoring 16, but
:28:24. > :28:31.otherwise, they have been made 15 is. They made some errors in
:28:32. > :28:35.qualification, they can add that a little bit, but we also have China
:28:36. > :28:41.on the high bar. We have, and Great Britain on pommel horse. And if
:28:42. > :28:45.Russia go a little bit haywire on the floor, which we know that they
:28:46. > :28:48.can do, and they are renowned for it, to be honest, then Great Britain
:28:49. > :28:54.in with a very good chance of silver. They have only ever had
:28:55. > :29:01.bronze, bronze in 2012, bronze 100 years before that. So can they
