Day 5 BBC Two: 22.00-22.45 Olympics

Well come back to Rio for coverage of the men's all-around final, where

Max Whitlock is trying to win a medal, it would be Britain's first

since 1908, it has already been a historic day, because Jack Laugher

and Chris Mears won a first ever gold medal, and I will hand you back

to Dan Greaves -- Dan Keating and Beth Tweddle.

COMMENTATOR: This is Chris Brooks of the USA on the floor. Lovely

handspring and double somersault to start.

Obviously he likes working forward, that was a double twist in front.

On the fifth of six pieces. Christopher Brooks will have this

and pommel horse to go. One and three quarters somersault,

you land on your hands and roll out of it.

Good 2.5 twist, he is delighted with that performance. Well, that was a

great high bar routine. Lin Chaopan was just outside the medals in four

of going into this but evaporated. High bar is in store for him -- this

piece of apparatus. With floor to go.

And now this is the piece that he can pick his scores up with. Posted

a seven difficulty in qualification. Really good difficult, lovely full

twist in the somersault. Somersault over the bar. 1.5 turn.

Very nice close bar works, lovely straight front somersault to grasp

the bar. Full turn to the Marco love.

Building his difficulty. Complex routine. Well, we have seen a lot of

good landings, but that was among the best. Absolute relief to go

through a high bar routine like that. Difficulty matched execution.

That was really good. So many different combinations in it. It is

quite a versatile routine. It was really quite nice to see. Well, last

year this gymnast, Deng Shudi, got a bronze on this piece of apparatus.

He has qualified third for the high bar final here in Rio.

A prize with the double back. -- a prize. Huge double back between the

bars. Another double pike somersault

between the bars, building the difficulty.

Nice on the bar combination. -- under bar. Another double

somersault. Moving towards the end. The main part is finished. Down to

the dismount. Oh, these gymnasts are just

defying... What is humanly possible! It is just quite remarkable, they're

making it look so easy. They are, and team from China are fantastic on

the bars. 14.64 Chris Brooks on the floor. I mean, goodness me. -- 14.6

four Chris Brooks. One of the very exciting new young

gymnasts from China on the scene. But this parallel bar work... He

posted a 7.2 difficulty, which is enormous in the qualification. And

when they came to the team competition, the team from China are

all had start scores of over seven parallel bars. It is on this that

they are experts. It is so difficult, yet so tidy.

That the secret, really. If it's tidy, the judges can't take too much

of. No, not at all. I would be surprised if that is under 16.

Deng Shudi scores 15.9 66. Just under that 16. Just looking at Lin

Chaopan's score on high bar, that puts him very, very close, just .1

two. It is so close, this. David Belyavskiy for Russia. With his

penultimate piece of apparatus in this men's all-round final. Just to

remind the gymnasts get higher scores for building their

difficulty, and that difficulty score is added to the execution.

Really nice start. Rise with the full turn to

handstand. Double half term. He absorbs that

really well. Hugh does, he has improved so much on this apparatus.

He has always have the potential but never quite hit it perfectly in

competition. But this last year, in every competition. He has hit all of

his apparatus. In fact, these top few have been really solid. Yet

committee didn't used to be the most inconsistent gymnast. I think he was

changing his routines too much. I think he has finally found the

perfect routine for himself. And now he is quite stable. Which is the

secret, really. To have routines that you can manage with control

then you just slot odd bits of improved difficulty in. And of

course, he, like Uchimura, have got that T-Mobile behind them. -- that

team medal. I think that meant to Russia and Japan most, the team

result. These are the icing on the take, the individuals. Let's see

what the current European champion gets in this all-round final. Just

one piece to go after that. And it is the high bar. It is 15.9 33. That

is a big, big score. .1 behind Max Whitlock. So, as it stands, I mean,

this is unbelievable. Between Max Whitlock in second and the gymnast

in faith -- fifth, there is only .3, which is like a step. Uchimura now.

An parallel bars. World champion. This is a really important routine

for him. Double hike with the kick-out. --

double pike. It looked like he looked for that

landing but didn't quite stick it. It was a big hop. I mean, this is

going right down to the wire, it really is. The Naib, Max Whitlock,

everybody is just looking down and trying to remain focused. And not be

distracted by what is going on here in this final. -- Oleg Verniaiev. Do

you think Uchimura increased his difficulty? He performed a 68 in

qualification. I think that was around the same. Do you think? You

don't think you posted? I always get the feeling there is a lot more in

the locker if he is under pressure of having to perform so what you

don't think he pushed it. Really clean work. He is another

one, they are all enormously classy gymnasts. The extension out of that

somersault to be able to then move instantly into the next high

somersault, very impressive. How he manages to keep so composed

under incredible pressure is what makes this gymnast the gymnast that

he is. 15 six. It is still Oleg Verniaiev in first, Uchimura in

second, works which -- Max Whitlock hanging in there in bronze with one

piece of apparatus to go. He did it with a superb high bar routine. So

this was the move that he had in his qualifications. He fell on this in

the World Championships last year, and he managed to hold on.

So here is confirmation, one piece to go. Verniaiev leads this men's

all-round final. Belyavskiy is very, very close in fourth, as is Lin

Chaopan and Deng Shudi. The top group in high bar, Max's group is in

the second group on floor. This is going down to a few steps. It is the

last piece of apparatus, and there are six people who can still medal.

It really is now who does the best routine in this final piece. If you

were in this situation, would you rather do flaw high bar? Floor,

floor all day. So you think Max has an advantage? I don't want to say

advantage, but I think high bar is quite easy to miss all easy to

catch. What you mean is, Max will be very happy he is on the floor!

Belyavskiy, the gymnast who is so very close to winning his over on

the high bar. Oh, what a final piece of apparatus

in this men's all-round final. It has been a very, very long way

around. Six pieces. All gymnasts have worked five so far.

All gymnasts have worked five so far.

And you really do want to see everybody, you don't want to see

anybody caving at this stage, you want the best person to win. You

don't want to win by somebody else falling. You can see Nile warming up

there, on the high bar. And Nile Wilson, can I see is that eighth

position, creeping up, with his best piece still to come.

Action all around the arena. So, this top group on high bar. Nile

Wilson will go second from great written. But the first gymnast upon

floor is Max Whitlock. It is in his hands now. He is a world silver

medallist on floor. He knows he has got the difficulty, he has got the

execution as well. Can he do it? I think he just has to concentrate on

all the tumbles he has done in training, all the routines, it all

comes down to this one moment. He has been training so hard, he has

put in the numbers, I'm sure he can get there.

As focused as he likes to be, Max, you can't help but feel the tension

in this place. It really is going right down to the wire, this. There

are six gymnasts who can still potentially medal, Max Whitlock in

third going into this final piece of apparatus. If he can medal, it will

be the first time in an all-round final four 108 years. He can do

this, this is within his grasp. All of the training, all of the hours,

all coming down to this one piece of apparatus. Routine number six at the

Olympic all-round final. Come on, Max. Just like in training every

day. He just played a little bit safe on

the three and a half. Nice role out of the one and three

quarters. Come on, Max! Triple to finish! What a performance from Max

Whitlock! Well, is it going to be enough? There is going to be a long

and anxious wait. Just took the wind out of his sails a little bit on

that penultimate tumble. He has done his job, though. He stayed on his

feet. The pressure is now on everyone else, they have to try to

beat him. That is very true, Dan. He has just snap at the three and a

half, but he got away with it. That was a very efficient triple to

finish. So, and anxious wait for Max Whitlock, and an anxious wait for

Great Britain as we have to watch the high bar now, as his main rivals

are over there. So, Kato, one of the gymnast in

contention. And here comes the big release, the risk. The full turn,

safely on. Another big release. Travel over the

bar, that time with the full twist, the tuck twist, very nice pirouette.

Oh, he has come off! He has done so much good work, and then right at

that very last bit. Kato is OK, but he is out of the running as far as a

medal is concerned. He looked like he had got his hands right over, but

you have a Dowle, a weight you have to make sure you get over the bar.

And actually, from this top group, that is the first error we have seen

from anyone. Up into the forward swing, the end.

Tuck with full turn, it was almost his last skill. What a shame. That

is why this Olympic order is so, so testing. It tests all of the body,

and then you get around to the high bar. 15.2 for Max Whitlock, puts him

on a score of 90.641. That is the definition of an anxious wait. It is

indeed. Lovely extension out of that catch.

The idea is to kick right out so that you can continue the next move.

And extend again there, but that's the one that he missed. You can see

the bar pinyin away there. Well, just trying to do some sums

here, and work out who needs what. We will bring that to you as quickly

as we can. Kato will wait for his score. Deng needs 15.477, Belyavskiy

needs a big score, Lin Chaopan and needs around 15.3. What do we six,

Dan? It is going to be close. It is going to be close. I'm nervous! Of

course! 13.9 four Kato. 88 .59 is his final score after six pieces of

apparatus. It seems to have been working so incredibly well, and then

suddenly the pressure builds. To be able to compete at this level,. Nile

Wilson is the next gymnast on the high bar. Uchimura can only wonder

what the high bar has in store for him. Deng Shudi as well and the

running. Deng needs 15 point 477, barley of ski needs 15.276. --

Belyavskiy. He did score a 13.66 in

qualification, but a 6.6 difficulty, so if it goes to plan. And a little

step there, two big tumbles to start. That was very nicely done,

three and a half. Two and a half twists from the front

somersault. Working with good style, with

precision. Now, one more tumble left, one more

landing to make, then it is in the hands of the judges. Triple twist, a

little hop back. They were very comparative or routines. They were.

Let's talk to doctors, Dan. What do you think? There was quite a lot of

deductions on landings, but it is a high start score, so it depends if

they take 1s or 3s. He needs 15.277 to go ahead of Max Whitlock into

that third place as it stands. What we think, Chris? If he has got the

6.6 start which he had in qualification, then he is not .4 up

on Macs in difficulty. The question is, was he .4 down in execution?

There was one big step at the very beginning, that was a low landing. I

think it will be very tight, they are very comparator.

Well, Verniaiev, a lonely figure, just composing himself, as is

Uchimura. It is going right down to the final tenths, this. Deng Shudi

needs a score of 15.477 to knock Max Whitlock out of that third spot.

Still waiting for Linnes score to come in. That was a very confident

release with half turn. And again, beautiful straight body, swings

straight out. That was a very nice pirouette, finishing in handstand.

He just stalled at the top there, got it the right way round.

Full-term, uses the body to lift, the two twists, controls the

landing. Is it enough? Will the Scobbie big enough? He used every

single muscle in his body to try to hold that landing, not to give too

much away. It is 14.866 four Lin Chaopan and, so he finishes behind

Max Whitlock. Max still in the lead as it stands, because Uchimura and

Verniaiev have not been yet. Belyavskiy needs 15.276. And this is

a very important score to come in as well.

Viz gymnasts swinging high bar is so well, the big skills, linked into

the routine. We have barely seen anybody stop and need an extra

swing. We have barely seen a step on any landings, really. Such big

landings, they are nearly off the end of the matter. Three gymnasts

left to go on high bar. It is not good enough, 14.966 four

Deng Shudi. Max Whitlock still hanging on. One more gymnast to go

that can knock him out of the top spot. He looks more pressured now

looking at the scoreboard than he has in the rest of the competition.

Max Whitlock in with a great shout for a bronze here in this meant's

all-round final, the only gymnast who can ruin the party is this man.

15.276 is what Belyavskiy needs for Russia.

He has got a really very original high bar routine, the one Arm

Circle. Here we go with the big releases.

Straight body. Fulfils all his requirements. The

closed bar element, that turn was a little late, but he securely makes

the catch. And circling in the inverted swing.

Lift up, just the single twisting dismount, great landing. That was an

unbelievable high bar routine. This is going right down to the wire.

CLARE BALDING: Max Whitlock looks up anxiously at the scoreboard, the

Russian celebrates, we will bring you the conclusion of this all-round

final on BBC One now. nothing says Rio de Janeiro

quite like it. So I've come here to Rio to explore

the culture and the people
