:00:21. > :00:28.Well come back to Rio for coverage of the men's all-around final, where
:00:29. > :00:34.Max Whitlock is trying to win a medal, it would be Britain's first
:00:35. > :00:36.since 1908, it has already been a historic day, because Jack Laugher
:00:37. > :00:48.and Chris Mears won a first ever gold medal, and I will hand you back
:00:49. > :00:50.to Dan Greaves -- Dan Keating and Beth Tweddle.
:00:51. > :00:54.COMMENTATOR: This is Chris Brooks of the USA on the floor. Lovely
:00:55. > :01:08.handspring and double somersault to start.
:01:09. > :01:20.Obviously he likes working forward, that was a double twist in front.
:01:21. > :01:27.On the fifth of six pieces. Christopher Brooks will have this
:01:28. > :01:37.and pommel horse to go. One and three quarters somersault,
:01:38. > :01:44.you land on your hands and roll out of it.
:01:45. > :02:08.Good 2.5 twist, he is delighted with that performance. Well, that was a
:02:09. > :02:13.great high bar routine. Lin Chaopan was just outside the medals in four
:02:14. > :02:19.of going into this but evaporated. High bar is in store for him -- this
:02:20. > :02:23.piece of apparatus. With floor to go.
:02:24. > :02:31.And now this is the piece that he can pick his scores up with. Posted
:02:32. > :02:47.a seven difficulty in qualification. Really good difficult, lovely full
:02:48. > :02:55.twist in the somersault. Somersault over the bar. 1.5 turn.
:02:56. > :02:59.Very nice close bar works, lovely straight front somersault to grasp
:03:00. > :03:12.the bar. Full turn to the Marco love.
:03:13. > :03:20.Building his difficulty. Complex routine. Well, we have seen a lot of
:03:21. > :03:25.good landings, but that was among the best. Absolute relief to go
:03:26. > :03:32.through a high bar routine like that. Difficulty matched execution.
:03:33. > :03:40.That was really good. So many different combinations in it. It is
:03:41. > :03:48.quite a versatile routine. It was really quite nice to see. Well, last
:03:49. > :03:52.year this gymnast, Deng Shudi, got a bronze on this piece of apparatus.
:03:53. > :03:57.He has qualified third for the high bar final here in Rio.
:03:58. > :04:11.A prize with the double back. -- a prize. Huge double back between the
:04:12. > :04:19.bars. Another double pike somersault
:04:20. > :04:26.between the bars, building the difficulty.
:04:27. > :04:32.Nice on the bar combination. -- under bar. Another double
:04:33. > :04:48.somersault. Moving towards the end. The main part is finished. Down to
:04:49. > :05:06.the dismount. Oh, these gymnasts are just
:05:07. > :05:09.defying... What is humanly possible! It is just quite remarkable, they're
:05:10. > :05:18.making it look so easy. They are, and team from China are fantastic on
:05:19. > :05:23.the bars. 14.64 Chris Brooks on the floor. I mean, goodness me. -- 14.6
:05:24. > :05:33.four Chris Brooks. One of the very exciting new young
:05:34. > :05:41.gymnasts from China on the scene. But this parallel bar work... He
:05:42. > :05:48.posted a 7.2 difficulty, which is enormous in the qualification. And
:05:49. > :05:51.when they came to the team competition, the team from China are
:05:52. > :05:55.all had start scores of over seven parallel bars. It is on this that
:05:56. > :06:11.they are experts. It is so difficult, yet so tidy.
:06:12. > :06:16.That the secret, really. If it's tidy, the judges can't take too much
:06:17. > :06:24.of. No, not at all. I would be surprised if that is under 16.
:06:25. > :06:39.Deng Shudi scores 15.9 66. Just under that 16. Just looking at Lin
:06:40. > :06:48.Chaopan's score on high bar, that puts him very, very close, just .1
:06:49. > :06:55.two. It is so close, this. David Belyavskiy for Russia. With his
:06:56. > :07:01.penultimate piece of apparatus in this men's all-round final. Just to
:07:02. > :07:04.remind the gymnasts get higher scores for building their
:07:05. > :07:07.difficulty, and that difficulty score is added to the execution.
:07:08. > :07:13.Really nice start. Rise with the full turn to
:07:14. > :07:58.handstand. Double half term. He absorbs that
:07:59. > :08:02.really well. Hugh does, he has improved so much on this apparatus.
:08:03. > :08:07.He has always have the potential but never quite hit it perfectly in
:08:08. > :08:13.competition. But this last year, in every competition. He has hit all of
:08:14. > :08:17.his apparatus. In fact, these top few have been really solid. Yet
:08:18. > :08:24.committee didn't used to be the most inconsistent gymnast. I think he was
:08:25. > :08:29.changing his routines too much. I think he has finally found the
:08:30. > :08:37.perfect routine for himself. And now he is quite stable. Which is the
:08:38. > :08:43.secret, really. To have routines that you can manage with control
:08:44. > :08:50.then you just slot odd bits of improved difficulty in. And of
:08:51. > :08:58.course, he, like Uchimura, have got that T-Mobile behind them. -- that
:08:59. > :09:03.team medal. I think that meant to Russia and Japan most, the team
:09:04. > :09:12.result. These are the icing on the take, the individuals. Let's see
:09:13. > :09:17.what the current European champion gets in this all-round final. Just
:09:18. > :09:31.one piece to go after that. And it is the high bar. It is 15.9 33. That
:09:32. > :09:36.is a big, big score. .1 behind Max Whitlock. So, as it stands, I mean,
:09:37. > :09:46.this is unbelievable. Between Max Whitlock in second and the gymnast
:09:47. > :09:55.in faith -- fifth, there is only .3, which is like a step. Uchimura now.
:09:56. > :09:56.An parallel bars. World champion. This is a really important routine
:09:57. > :09:59.for him. Double hike with the kick-out. --
:10:00. > :10:46.double pike. It looked like he looked for that
:10:47. > :10:50.landing but didn't quite stick it. It was a big hop. I mean, this is
:10:51. > :10:55.going right down to the wire, it really is. The Naib, Max Whitlock,
:10:56. > :11:00.everybody is just looking down and trying to remain focused. And not be
:11:01. > :11:08.distracted by what is going on here in this final. -- Oleg Verniaiev. Do
:11:09. > :11:13.you think Uchimura increased his difficulty? He performed a 68 in
:11:14. > :11:18.qualification. I think that was around the same. Do you think? You
:11:19. > :11:22.don't think you posted? I always get the feeling there is a lot more in
:11:23. > :11:23.the locker if he is under pressure of having to perform so what you
:11:24. > :11:37.don't think he pushed it. Really clean work. He is another
:11:38. > :11:46.one, they are all enormously classy gymnasts. The extension out of that
:11:47. > :11:48.somersault to be able to then move instantly into the next high
:11:49. > :11:59.somersault, very impressive. How he manages to keep so composed
:12:00. > :12:09.under incredible pressure is what makes this gymnast the gymnast that
:12:10. > :12:16.he is. 15 six. It is still Oleg Verniaiev in first, Uchimura in
:12:17. > :12:20.second, works which -- Max Whitlock hanging in there in bronze with one
:12:21. > :12:29.piece of apparatus to go. He did it with a superb high bar routine. So
:12:30. > :12:33.this was the move that he had in his qualifications. He fell on this in
:12:34. > :12:38.the World Championships last year, and he managed to hold on.
:12:39. > :13:00.So here is confirmation, one piece to go. Verniaiev leads this men's
:13:01. > :13:09.all-round final. Belyavskiy is very, very close in fourth, as is Lin
:13:10. > :13:16.Chaopan and Deng Shudi. The top group in high bar, Max's group is in
:13:17. > :13:21.the second group on floor. This is going down to a few steps. It is the
:13:22. > :13:26.last piece of apparatus, and there are six people who can still medal.
:13:27. > :13:30.It really is now who does the best routine in this final piece. If you
:13:31. > :13:38.were in this situation, would you rather do flaw high bar? Floor,
:13:39. > :13:43.floor all day. So you think Max has an advantage? I don't want to say
:13:44. > :13:49.advantage, but I think high bar is quite easy to miss all easy to
:13:50. > :13:55.catch. What you mean is, Max will be very happy he is on the floor!
:13:56. > :13:57.Belyavskiy, the gymnast who is so very close to winning his over on
:13:58. > :14:06.the high bar. Oh, what a final piece of apparatus
:14:07. > :14:12.in this men's all-round final. It has been a very, very long way
:14:13. > :14:24.around. Six pieces. All gymnasts have worked five so far.
:14:25. > :14:28.All gymnasts have worked five so far.
:14:29. > :14:37.And you really do want to see everybody, you don't want to see
:14:38. > :14:43.anybody caving at this stage, you want the best person to win. You
:14:44. > :15:00.don't want to win by somebody else falling. You can see Nile warming up
:15:01. > :15:05.there, on the high bar. And Nile Wilson, can I see is that eighth
:15:06. > :15:31.position, creeping up, with his best piece still to come.
:15:32. > :15:40.Action all around the arena. So, this top group on high bar. Nile
:15:41. > :15:53.Wilson will go second from great written. But the first gymnast upon
:15:54. > :16:01.floor is Max Whitlock. It is in his hands now. He is a world silver
:16:02. > :16:08.medallist on floor. He knows he has got the difficulty, he has got the
:16:09. > :16:14.execution as well. Can he do it? I think he just has to concentrate on
:16:15. > :16:19.all the tumbles he has done in training, all the routines, it all
:16:20. > :16:23.comes down to this one moment. He has been training so hard, he has
:16:24. > :16:28.put in the numbers, I'm sure he can get there.
:16:29. > :16:37.As focused as he likes to be, Max, you can't help but feel the tension
:16:38. > :16:43.in this place. It really is going right down to the wire, this. There
:16:44. > :16:48.are six gymnasts who can still potentially medal, Max Whitlock in
:16:49. > :16:55.third going into this final piece of apparatus. If he can medal, it will
:16:56. > :17:03.be the first time in an all-round final four 108 years. He can do
:17:04. > :17:09.this, this is within his grasp. All of the training, all of the hours,
:17:10. > :17:17.all coming down to this one piece of apparatus. Routine number six at the
:17:18. > :17:20.Olympic all-round final. Come on, Max. Just like in training every
:17:21. > :17:27.day. He just played a little bit safe on
:17:28. > :18:18.the three and a half. Nice role out of the one and three
:18:19. > :18:27.quarters. Come on, Max! Triple to finish! What a performance from Max
:18:28. > :18:33.Whitlock! Well, is it going to be enough? There is going to be a long
:18:34. > :18:37.and anxious wait. Just took the wind out of his sails a little bit on
:18:38. > :18:43.that penultimate tumble. He has done his job, though. He stayed on his
:18:44. > :18:47.feet. The pressure is now on everyone else, they have to try to
:18:48. > :18:55.beat him. That is very true, Dan. He has just snap at the three and a
:18:56. > :19:01.half, but he got away with it. That was a very efficient triple to
:19:02. > :19:07.finish. So, and anxious wait for Max Whitlock, and an anxious wait for
:19:08. > :19:09.Great Britain as we have to watch the high bar now, as his main rivals
:19:10. > :19:52.are over there. So, Kato, one of the gymnast in
:19:53. > :19:55.contention. And here comes the big release, the risk. The full turn,
:19:56. > :20:14.safely on. Another big release. Travel over the
:20:15. > :20:26.bar, that time with the full twist, the tuck twist, very nice pirouette.
:20:27. > :20:32.Oh, he has come off! He has done so much good work, and then right at
:20:33. > :20:38.that very last bit. Kato is OK, but he is out of the running as far as a
:20:39. > :20:45.medal is concerned. He looked like he had got his hands right over, but
:20:46. > :20:52.you have a Dowle, a weight you have to make sure you get over the bar.
:20:53. > :20:55.And actually, from this top group, that is the first error we have seen
:20:56. > :21:15.from anyone. Up into the forward swing, the end.
:21:16. > :21:22.Tuck with full turn, it was almost his last skill. What a shame. That
:21:23. > :21:28.is why this Olympic order is so, so testing. It tests all of the body,
:21:29. > :21:37.and then you get around to the high bar. 15.2 for Max Whitlock, puts him
:21:38. > :21:40.on a score of 90.641. That is the definition of an anxious wait. It is
:21:41. > :22:02.indeed. Lovely extension out of that catch.
:22:03. > :22:08.The idea is to kick right out so that you can continue the next move.
:22:09. > :22:11.And extend again there, but that's the one that he missed. You can see
:22:12. > :22:38.the bar pinyin away there. Well, just trying to do some sums
:22:39. > :22:45.here, and work out who needs what. We will bring that to you as quickly
:22:46. > :23:03.as we can. Kato will wait for his score. Deng needs 15.477, Belyavskiy
:23:04. > :23:11.needs a big score, Lin Chaopan and needs around 15.3. What do we six,
:23:12. > :23:30.Dan? It is going to be close. It is going to be close. I'm nervous! Of
:23:31. > :23:37.course! 13.9 four Kato. 88 .59 is his final score after six pieces of
:23:38. > :23:40.apparatus. It seems to have been working so incredibly well, and then
:23:41. > :23:51.suddenly the pressure builds. To be able to compete at this level,. Nile
:23:52. > :23:59.Wilson is the next gymnast on the high bar. Uchimura can only wonder
:24:00. > :24:07.what the high bar has in store for him. Deng Shudi as well and the
:24:08. > :24:15.running. Deng needs 15 point 477, barley of ski needs 15.276. --
:24:16. > :24:32.Belyavskiy. He did score a 13.66 in
:24:33. > :24:39.qualification, but a 6.6 difficulty, so if it goes to plan. And a little
:24:40. > :24:43.step there, two big tumbles to start. That was very nicely done,
:24:44. > :24:54.three and a half. Two and a half twists from the front
:24:55. > :25:18.somersault. Working with good style, with
:25:19. > :25:32.precision. Now, one more tumble left, one more
:25:33. > :25:41.landing to make, then it is in the hands of the judges. Triple twist, a
:25:42. > :25:45.little hop back. They were very comparative or routines. They were.
:25:46. > :25:51.Let's talk to doctors, Dan. What do you think? There was quite a lot of
:25:52. > :26:05.deductions on landings, but it is a high start score, so it depends if
:26:06. > :26:11.they take 1s or 3s. He needs 15.277 to go ahead of Max Whitlock into
:26:12. > :26:20.that third place as it stands. What we think, Chris? If he has got the
:26:21. > :26:27.6.6 start which he had in qualification, then he is not .4 up
:26:28. > :26:31.on Macs in difficulty. The question is, was he .4 down in execution?
:26:32. > :26:37.There was one big step at the very beginning, that was a low landing. I
:26:38. > :26:50.think it will be very tight, they are very comparator.
:26:51. > :27:02.Well, Verniaiev, a lonely figure, just composing himself, as is
:27:03. > :27:12.Uchimura. It is going right down to the final tenths, this. Deng Shudi
:27:13. > :27:25.needs a score of 15.477 to knock Max Whitlock out of that third spot.
:27:26. > :27:44.Still waiting for Linnes score to come in. That was a very confident
:27:45. > :27:52.release with half turn. And again, beautiful straight body, swings
:27:53. > :27:58.straight out. That was a very nice pirouette, finishing in handstand.
:27:59. > :28:11.He just stalled at the top there, got it the right way round.
:28:12. > :28:21.Full-term, uses the body to lift, the two twists, controls the
:28:22. > :28:28.landing. Is it enough? Will the Scobbie big enough? He used every
:28:29. > :28:35.single muscle in his body to try to hold that landing, not to give too
:28:36. > :28:40.much away. It is 14.866 four Lin Chaopan and, so he finishes behind
:28:41. > :28:47.Max Whitlock. Max still in the lead as it stands, because Uchimura and
:28:48. > :28:55.Verniaiev have not been yet. Belyavskiy needs 15.276. And this is
:28:56. > :29:03.a very important score to come in as well.
:29:04. > :29:13.Viz gymnasts swinging high bar is so well, the big skills, linked into
:29:14. > :29:18.the routine. We have barely seen anybody stop and need an extra
:29:19. > :29:23.swing. We have barely seen a step on any landings, really. Such big
:29:24. > :29:27.landings, they are nearly off the end of the matter. Three gymnasts
:29:28. > :29:39.left to go on high bar. It is not good enough, 14.966 four
:29:40. > :29:45.Deng Shudi. Max Whitlock still hanging on. One more gymnast to go
:29:46. > :29:53.that can knock him out of the top spot. He looks more pressured now
:29:54. > :29:58.looking at the scoreboard than he has in the rest of the competition.
:29:59. > :30:01.Max Whitlock in with a great shout for a bronze here in this meant's
:30:02. > :30:10.all-round final, the only gymnast who can ruin the party is this man.
:30:11. > :30:18.15.276 is what Belyavskiy needs for Russia.
:30:19. > :30:22.He has got a really very original high bar routine, the one Arm
:30:23. > :30:26.Circle. Here we go with the big releases.
:30:27. > :30:46.Straight body. Fulfils all his requirements. The
:30:47. > :30:55.closed bar element, that turn was a little late, but he securely makes
:30:56. > :31:02.the catch. And circling in the inverted swing.
:31:03. > :31:11.Lift up, just the single twisting dismount, great landing. That was an
:31:12. > :31:17.unbelievable high bar routine. This is going right down to the wire.
:31:18. > :31:20.CLARE BALDING: Max Whitlock looks up anxiously at the scoreboard, the
:31:21. > :31:22.Russian celebrates, we will bring you the conclusion of this all-round
:31:23. > :31:28.final on BBC One now. nothing says Rio de Janeiro
:31:29. > :31:33.quite like it. So I've come here to Rio to explore
:31:34. > :31:37.the culture and the people
