:13:33. > :13:36.down and I could really help them - - are really hear them and that
:13:36. > :13:38.helped me come back. They have been great the whole tournament and it

:14:26. > :14:30.Bad luck and that means all British interest in the badminton is over
:14:30. > :14:34.here at the Olympics. Moving on, women's gymnastics is coming up.
:14:34. > :14:38.First let's briefly take you back to yesterday, it was exciting,
:14:38. > :14:42.amazing, incredible and totally unexpected as Britain's men won
:14:42. > :14:45.their first team event medal for 100 years. The colour of the medal
:14:45. > :14:49.may have been in doubt, first it was silver then it was bronze, but
:14:49. > :14:59.it is an Olympic medal and it was a magnificent team performance, let's
:14:59. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:08.Britain can get a medal. Terrific from Louis Smith. That was good
:15:09. > :15:17.work, under enormous pressure. door is open, at Great Britain are
:15:17. > :15:22.in third. Can they just hang on? Thank you, very much. Terrific for
:15:22. > :15:32.Kristian Thomas. A everybody here literally on the edge of their
:15:32. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:43.seats. Wow! Fantastic work from Dan Purvis. Bring it all home, a young
:15:43. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:07.man. This is down to you. Kristian a special moment. A protest has
:16:07. > :16:15.gone in from the Japanese. Great Britain, after that enquiry from
:16:15. > :16:25.Japan get bronze. What a shame. People in the North Greenwich Arena
:16:25. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:34.are not happy. We did not expect pressure, a controversy and it had
:16:34. > :16:38.it all. After those dramatic scenes, are we in for more debate? While
:16:38. > :16:44.the women's team led by Beth Tweddle be inspired by the men's
:16:44. > :16:54.success? On paper it looks out of reach, but after what we saw
:16:54. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:00.What a story that was. I remember her as a little lad watching
:17:00. > :17:04.gymnastics at the Olympics and that is what did it for me. I am sure
:17:04. > :17:10.there will be lots of little boys who want to become the next members
:17:10. > :17:16.of the men's Olympics team. This arena yesterday was absolutely
:17:16. > :17:23.packed. Princes William and Harry were here. I am joined now by
:17:23. > :17:26.gymnastics royalty in the form of all the core but. We will talk
:17:26. > :17:35.about the women's gymnastics in a moment, but what do you make of
:17:35. > :17:42.what the British men achieved yesterday? It was incredible. They
:17:42. > :17:52.were unknown and they won a bronze. Hello, this is the first step and
:17:52. > :17:57.today will be the second. In 1972 that was your Olympics debut. The
:17:57. > :18:04.equalise amongst you may have noticed I have a gold medal. -- the
:18:04. > :18:09.eagle eyes. This is you. Absolutely beautiful. And the elegance, the
:18:09. > :18:13.grace and the execution is mesmerising to watch. These days
:18:13. > :18:20.gymnastics is quite different. Those looking to get medals at the
:18:20. > :18:27.Olympics have to go all out for difficult it. This is the gold
:18:27. > :18:31.medal from the 1972 Munich Olympics. I cannot believe I am holding this
:18:31. > :18:36.false start thank you so much for allowing me to look after it for
:18:37. > :18:44.five minutes. Going back to the point about how gymnastics has
:18:44. > :18:50.changed. What do you make of the current style of gymnastics?
:18:50. > :18:55.years ago the equipment was different. Now the beam is bringing,
:18:55. > :19:00.the floor is springing and the bars are very soft. Of course they can
:19:00. > :19:07.do it with more difficult it, but I would like to see more a grace and
:19:07. > :19:13.I hope we will see tonight or in the final competition the grace.
:19:13. > :19:19.Would you like to have a go on the bouncy floor? This is why I am here
:19:19. > :19:27.in London. I would like to feel like I felt 40 years ago. A you
:19:27. > :19:33.never lose that feeling. Oh, no. For you it was a magical time. Does
:19:33. > :19:41.it feel like it was yesterday? me, yes. I remember everything,
:19:41. > :19:51.everything. What emotions does it bring back? First of all, I would
:19:51. > :19:54.
:19:54. > :19:59.like to see another All Go on the floor routine with a smile. Event I
:19:59. > :20:06.did a difficult element and I had a smile at the finish. That's why it
:20:06. > :20:13.is iconic and you have not lost it. It is still there. I have not lost
:20:13. > :20:17.it, I'm still alive. Obviously a lot of gymnasts and under extreme
:20:17. > :20:24.pressure and a lot of the smiles are fake and forced, but your eyes
:20:24. > :20:29.was real. Because it was from my heart. I was born a gymnast and
:20:29. > :20:38.this is my life. We have a Beth Tweddle who is leading the British
:20:38. > :20:48.team. The youngest member is Rebecca Tanni. We caught up with
:20:48. > :20:56.
:20:56. > :21:00.her earlier on. The youngest member of all of Team GB. She is
:21:00. > :21:05.performing like a very experienced gymnast. This is Rebecca Tanni from
:21:05. > :21:10.Manchester. She is still at school and started fretting about her
:21:10. > :21:16.exams in May, but was also competing in the European
:21:16. > :21:23.Championships in Belgium. Now she is living out her Olympic dream and
:21:24. > :21:32.it began taking shape in Liverpool. I spend a lot of time here, more
:21:32. > :21:36.time than at home. Calling the shots as is her coach Claire Duffy.
:21:36. > :21:42.She is a very keen, energetic gymnast. You could see she was keen
:21:42. > :21:52.to get in there and give it a go. This team is packed with pop,
:21:52. > :21:54.
:21:54. > :21:59.British talent. Elizabeth Tweddle, Hannah Whelan and Jennifer Pinches.
:21:59. > :22:04.I stood looking around the whole gym at once I saw them. I wanted to
:22:04. > :22:08.know what Elizabeth was doing all the time. This year it has been
:22:08. > :22:18.non-stop. I had to train through Christmas, but it was definitely
:22:18. > :22:27.
:22:27. > :22:36.worth it. 4 ft 10 and five-and-a- half stone, her nickname is tiny.
:22:37. > :22:44.guess it helps being skinny because I have a lot of power. Because I am
:22:44. > :22:51.skinny my shapes show a bit more. But I have rather a big kneecaps.
:22:51. > :22:57.It is what makes me. What do you think you bring to the British team
:22:57. > :23:02.in terms of the pieces that you do? Generally I always do a good flawed.
:23:02. > :23:10.That is always a good one. I have a good vault, so hopefully that can
:23:10. > :23:16.be good in the team. With Rebecca being 15 she can be either totally
:23:16. > :23:20.overwhelmed by this system -- situation, and there will be an
:23:20. > :23:26.error. Or at she can be oblivious and had a storming competition not
:23:26. > :23:32.knowing what is around her. fired Team GB's youngest athlete
:23:32. > :23:38.seems totally unfazed by life in the Olympic spotlight. What a
:23:38. > :23:43.fabulous routine! For the record, we think you have got lovely
:23:44. > :23:51.kneecaps, Rebecca. You were telling me is interesting fact that when
:23:51. > :23:57.you get a feeling for something off for a certain gymnast, they can win
:23:57. > :24:03.under your power. If I will watch. So you are here, which is great
:24:03. > :24:10.news for Great Britain. They are lying in 5th. As we saw yesterday,
:24:10. > :24:15.anything can happen with the leaders. We never know, but I will
:24:15. > :24:25.keep I ISA and my fingers crossed for Great Britain. That is so good,
:24:25. > :24:25.
:24:25. > :24:31.we are so delighted to hear that. And a word on Beth Tweddle and Will
:24:31. > :24:36.You Be There? Yes, I am going to be there and she will be in that final
:24:36. > :24:41.and she will win. You have heard it there. This is her routine, but
:24:41. > :24:51.obviously very different to your routine. But a word on the
:24:51. > :24:57.difficulty. What do you make of her difficult routine? Now with the bar
:24:57. > :25:06.as it is different and you can do a lot from the bars. You can do it
:25:06. > :25:12.like the men do it on the high bars. Actually, it is not very difficult.
:25:13. > :25:17.But this is very good to see. Indeed, while today is all about
:25:17. > :25:22.difficulty. You have got three scores and they will all count. I
:25:22. > :25:27.am sure all there will be keeping an eye on that extra little
:25:27. > :25:31.execution score. To give you an idea of what is going to be
:25:31. > :25:37.happening over the course of the next two hours. Although core but,
:25:37. > :25:46.thank you so much by joining us. Thank you so much. Here is your
:25:46. > :25:51.mettle. I almost forgot. dimensions demand accuracy as well
:25:51. > :25:56.as artistry from competitors. It has a sprung surfers to eight
:25:56. > :26:02.acrobatic skills, but as it is the narrowest of all Olympic platforms,
:26:02. > :26:08.attention to detail is a must. Gymnasts have 90 seconds to perform
:26:08. > :26:15.a variety of moves that connect one skill to the next. They will use
:26:15. > :26:21.the whole length of the beam to display steps, jumps, acrobatic
:26:21. > :26:29.element and turns. Poor technique and fighting a losing battle
:26:29. > :26:35.against balance will lead to points of deductions. Every routine
:26:35. > :26:40.requires dance elements including a jump with legs in a 180 degree
:26:40. > :26:47.split. There must be acrobatic moves, one of which must be a
:26:47. > :26:53.somersault. And a perfectly formed dismount. Any and planned all to
:26:53. > :27:03.the floor leaves the gymnast with 10 seconds to mount. If you would
:27:03. > :27:08.
:27:08. > :27:14.like to get involved in Olympic sports, go to the website. You join
:27:14. > :27:21.us as Canada entered the arena. Great Britain have just come in.
:27:21. > :27:27.What an expectant crowd in the North Greenwich Arena. Sitting
:27:27. > :27:36.alongside me is Christel and Mitch Fenner. Can Great Britain repeat
:27:36. > :27:44.the performance of yesterday? think they can give as good a fight
:27:44. > :27:49.as amended yesterday. I think the girls will fight just as hard.
:27:49. > :27:53.Whether the other teams will crumble as much, I do not know.
:27:53. > :27:59.they have to do is try and keep the consistency and the performance
:27:59. > :28:04.level and that is what the men did. Yes, exactly. I think a top-six
:28:04. > :28:09.finish will be fantastic. It is all credit to them for getting here in
:28:09. > :28:14.this company, it is tough competition. But they look great
:28:14. > :28:19.and I have never seen them look better. They are in train a
:28:19. > :28:24.condition, they are a unit and they are determined. They are a unit and
:28:24. > :28:27.there are wonderful characters in the team. We have got a very
:28:27. > :28:34.experienced Beth Tweddle who we believe is going to go on the floor

:28:39. > :28:48.exactly, there had been some thought that she would not work the
:28:48. > :28:58.floor, but she feels good and strong. A potential star is Gabby

:29:08. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:21.expecting great things from them as Doria commode is such a beautiful

:29:40. > :29:43.
:29:43. > :29:49.going to be against the elegance and the accuracy of the Russians.
:29:49. > :29:54.Those top four countries are very strong. China were also much more

:31:37. > :31:42.your husband is down there as well. What is the inside information?
:31:42. > :31:46.think the inside information is that neither Hannah Whelan nor a
:31:46. > :31:50.Becky Tunney will do it every piece, they have qualified for the
:31:50. > :31:57.individual all-around final in today's soap they have decided to

:32:06. > :32:11.thing, we have seen some at these crumble under the pressure. There
:32:11. > :32:20.is something in this place, it is hard to describe it, it feels cosy.
:32:20. > :32:25.The gymnasts feel at home. It is only 16,000 people, why shouldn't
:32:25. > :32:30.they feel at home? So on times gymnastics is such a solitary sport,
:32:30. > :32:34.the amount of time you put in in the Jim on your own, working, and
:32:34. > :32:43.at some competitions, it has to be said, it is hard to get your cousin
:32:43. > :32:46.there. The crowds are tiny. You are right. It is a big arena but the
:32:46. > :32:55.floor area is quite small. The sides are steeper so you have got a
:32:55. > :33:03.real concentration of sound. It is not a vast. We will have a three-
:33:03. > :33:10.minute warm-up. The first set of gymnasts in each group. USA and
:33:10. > :33:15.Russia together, China and Romania, Great Britain are with Japan. Italy
:33:15. > :33:19.are with Canada. Is that a good match for Great Britain with Japan
:33:19. > :33:23.or would they want the competition of the Russians all Americans?
:33:23. > :33:32.think they probably would have enjoyed that but to be honest I
:33:32. > :33:38.think they are pretty focused on that wasn't a great piece for them,
:33:38. > :33:41.they didn't do their best in qualification. They will be wanting
:33:41. > :33:45.to show everybody they can do quite a bit better than they did in
:33:45. > :33:51.qualifying. Is that good they are starting on it, get it out the way
:33:51. > :33:54.instead of it being on their mind? Yes, I think it is quite good.
:33:54. > :33:59.Because they knew in qualifying they would start on it that is the
:33:59. > :34:08.way they have been practising for the last month also. It is quite
:34:08. > :34:13.helpful it is the same again. I know it Amanda Reading, on the
:34:13. > :34:17.floor with them, personal coach of Bath and Hannah and Jenny was
:34:17. > :34:21.disappointed with their beam performance. Hannah hasn't fallen
:34:21. > :34:28.off the entire time we have been here, and she was disappointed they
:34:28. > :34:38.didn't have a better time. She will be keen. That is Vanessa Ferrari
:34:38. > :34:45.
:34:45. > :34:50.warming up on the floor. Coming on a beam. Great Britain and Italians.
:34:50. > :34:55.We start on the vault and the Americans, first up is Jordyn
:34:55. > :34:58.Wieber who controversially didn't qualify in the top 20 for the all-
:34:58. > :35:03.around competition. That was because three gymnasts from America
:35:03. > :35:12.qualified in the top 20 and she was the third, just two gymnasts per
:35:12. > :35:16.country allowed. Really important for her. 6.5 difficulty. She will
:35:16. > :35:23.be very keen to prove to everybody that she is the best gymnast in the
:35:23. > :35:32.USA. That was significantly better than qualifying. The Americans off
:35:32. > :35:38.to a great start. Just three vaults If, and this piece of apparatus is
:35:38. > :35:47.over so quickly so a huge potential for error. Ferlito from Italy, 17
:35:47. > :35:53.years old. She was 5th in this arena at the Olympics tester bed. -
:35:53. > :36:03.- test event. You can hear the buzz through every performance. Good
:36:03. > :36:25.
:36:25. > :36:35.choreography side of the routine, impressive and under control, it is
:36:35. > :37:09.
:37:09. > :37:14.doing a great job out there. The done. Good effort for Italy.
:37:14. > :37:19.reason there was a huge cheer is because Imogen Cairns landed the
:37:19. > :37:29.been routine. A little bit of a wobble in the middle. -- the beam
:37:29. > :37:45.
:37:45. > :37:55.steady opener for Italy. And so far to gymnast from America have
:37:55. > :38:02.
:38:02. > :38:11.vaulted. -- two gymnasts. This, at the third vaulter, Mikaela Maroney.
:38:12. > :38:19.-- McKayla Maroney. She lands perfectly. That was fantastic. Legs
:38:19. > :38:23.glued together, it rockets into the air. They are on fire. A I think it
:38:23. > :38:28.is safe to say it America couldn't have done much better than that on
:38:28. > :38:38.the vault. She just drifted down to the ground, high in the air,
:38:38. > :38:50.
:38:50. > :38:55.Chinese gymnast, she took Olympic gold in Beijing. She has a
:38:55. > :39:05.beautiful style on this apparatus, spectacular in the release
:39:05. > :39:12.
:39:12. > :39:22.combination. She is back into this lovely work she does. Superb. Kexin
:39:22. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:27.He sharing great class on the uneven bars. Beautiful work, full
:39:27. > :39:37.twist in the .. To finish. It is good at her team-mate it did not
:39:37. > :39:53.
:39:53. > :40:02.give much away for. That was really and recovered well. A large wobble
:40:02. > :40:07.but she is still on target. Kexin He. Beautiful. Front somersault,
:40:07. > :40:13.straight into another front somersault, that is the original
:40:13. > :40:19.combination that lifts her routine so high. Straight front somersault,
:40:19. > :40:27.immediately down to the load bar, a bit of loss of Look form but very
:40:27. > :40:32.impressive. Full twisting it double back. Delighted, you can see. Two
:40:32. > :40:37.days in a row she has made that routine. She has grown such a lot
:40:37. > :40:47.in these last four years and struggled to maintain the work.
:40:47. > :41:06.
:41:06. > :41:10.Mikaela Maroney -- McKayla Maroney, Chinese gymnasts up on to the bars.
:41:10. > :41:17.Tiny gymnast swings from the lay-by to the high bar so well and then
:41:17. > :41:27.back down. And here we see again this time with half turn, beautiful
:41:27. > :41:33.flight. And now the trademark for turns we see from the Chinese
:41:33. > :41:38.gymnast, so efficient with the extra half turn. That is the
:41:38. > :41:43.release and recapture, all gymnasts must include one of those in their
:41:43. > :41:53.routine. Into the dismount, beautiful double straight. They
:41:53. > :42:20.
:42:21. > :42:27.team effort on uneven bars, China. Well-controlled a walkover. She is
:42:27. > :42:35.so fast. She has to fight hard, keeps her eyes on the beam, does
:42:35. > :42:41.very well indeed three up. That was a shame. That was a relatively
:42:42. > :42:47.simple move. She will have been doing that for the last 10 years at
:42:47. > :42:52.least. It just shows you how easy it is for areas to creep in, even
:42:52. > :42:58.on simple moves. She has got all the difficult stuff still to go.
:42:58. > :43:08.She has done the difficult somersaults. Here we go. Just a bit
:43:08. > :43:09.
:43:09. > :43:17.jittery now. Lost a little bit of composure. Now the site somersault.
:43:17. > :43:27.Spot it well. This is much better. Moves smoothly along. Big does not
:43:27. > :43:28.
:43:28. > :43:36.coming up. First of all Philippe, the change lead. With a half-turn.
:43:36. > :43:42.Now the dismount. A little pause. One back-flip, or two, up into the
:43:42. > :43:51.double pike, well held. A bit of a disappointment for Jenny.
:43:51. > :43:56.disappointing score. 11.833. A lot of work to be done now. But it is
:43:56. > :44:06.the first piece of apparatus. Not much time with three to go. Just
:44:06. > :44:09.
:44:09. > :44:19.have to wait and see what happens. Can Hannah Whelan from Great
:44:19. > :44:22.
:44:22. > :44:32.Britain do it? She will focus, she is good on this apparatus. A good
:44:32. > :44:32.
:44:32. > :45:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:45:25. > :45:31.through. The layout quite nicely all the way through. Double pike,
:45:31. > :45:38.but just about rescue deck. Signs of nerves right at the end of that
:45:38. > :45:48.routine. But the good news is the beam is out of the way. Just move
:45:48. > :45:58.on, girls, keep motoring. A bit of a shaky start for Great Britain.
:45:58. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:12.Three pieces remain. Yes, the men had six chances. A little bit of a
:46:12. > :46:17.disappointing start for the girls. You have just got to put that out
:46:17. > :46:23.of your mind and move on to the next piece of apparatus. Absolutely
:46:23. > :46:33.and they will do that perfectly well. It is difficult starting on
:46:33. > :46:36.
:46:36. > :46:43.the beam and it is difficult finishing on the beam. That is much
:46:43. > :46:53.better than her score in qualification. Like you say, they
:46:53. > :46:54.
:46:54. > :47:00.need to regroup now. It will be on to the floor for them. Very similar
:47:00. > :47:07.to their score in qualification. Talking about that mentality of
:47:07. > :47:14.putting it out of your mind and moving on. Look at that flight. It
:47:14. > :47:18.is just remarkable. It really is remarkable, all of these gymnasts
:47:18. > :47:28.are dynamic and very good, but she is noticeably better than any of
:47:28. > :47:35.the others. And it is a natural gift. You would analyse that as a
:47:35. > :47:45.coach and say, how do we get that out of all our athletes. She is a
:47:45. > :47:45.
:47:45. > :47:54.launch pad. That has been banned over and over. Our trainers laid at
:47:54. > :48:00.one video over her video, but she is just so fast. She is a really
:48:00. > :48:10.strong athlete. The gymnasts from each countries have now gone, so we
:48:10. > :48:12.
:48:12. > :48:16.now move on to the second group. This is Allya Mustafina. She is 17.
:48:16. > :48:22.It will be interesting to see how she competes at the Olympics
:48:22. > :48:27.because she has had injuries, and she is almost back on track. It was
:48:27. > :48:36.very good to see her work well in the qualification. That was really
:48:36. > :48:46.very good. She hit it perfectly and launched up well. Very pleased to
:48:46. > :48:46.
:48:46. > :49:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:49:43. > :49:53.keeping them the lead well up. -- attack it. She has to settle down
:49:53. > :50:23.
:50:23. > :50:28.moments. The Japanese qualified behind Great Britain. We were
:50:28. > :50:37.impressed by them and they looked really solid. There was good
:50:37. > :50:42.quality and they have been very successful these last four years.
:50:42. > :50:50.That is a good score for that double twist. Although there were
:50:50. > :51:00.some wobbles, she fought well. You can see why she is saying. That was
:51:00. > :51:31.
:51:31. > :51:39.That was a big step to the side, but she landed. Give us an idea of
:51:39. > :51:49.the production because it looked huge. About 0.5 because it was a
:51:49. > :52:01.
:52:01. > :52:07.apparatus. A good start, a little bit short after the pair are wet.
:52:07. > :52:17.They have done some work on this apparatus. That was a nice
:52:17. > :52:31.
:52:31. > :52:41.difficulty, but she went through very well. Her team-mate before her
:52:41. > :52:43.
:52:44. > :52:53.scored 14.066. Great Britain can close in on them in bars. That was
:52:54. > :52:54.
:52:54. > :53:00.a marked down on her qualifying scorer, reflecting the errors. A
:53:00. > :53:03.nice clear circle with Polperro wet. They have to include a full
:53:03. > :53:09.pirouette of some description in their routine if they want to be
:53:09. > :53:19.marked out of full difficulty. The coach gets so close with his hand.
:53:19. > :53:20.
:53:20. > :53:30.If he were to touch her, that would be a 0.5 deduction. The this meant
:53:30. > :53:34.
:53:34. > :53:38.was efficient. A little hop to the side, just. Certainly not one of
:53:38. > :53:45.the highest scorers in the world, but this little gymnast may have
:53:45. > :53:55.something to say about that. This is her first Olympic Games, just 16
:53:55. > :54:19.
:54:19. > :54:29.years old. Very nicely done full She generates swing very nicely. It
:54:29. > :54:29.
:54:29. > :54:33.is a packed routine with a few empty swings. A big improvement on
:54:33. > :54:43.the other routines from Romania, but not one to challenge the very
:54:43. > :54:50.
:54:50. > :54:55.top. They have got to keep Romania in contention of a medal. I think
:54:55. > :55:05.Russia were relying on that that could have threatened the USA score.
:55:05. > :55:32.
:55:32. > :55:42.effectively. A lovely twisting run, finishing under control. Clean
:55:42. > :56:03.
:56:03. > :56:13.touches to her work. Very confident in all the gymnastic leaps and
:56:13. > :56:23.
:56:23. > :56:29.links. Beautifully choreographed. Two-and-a-half twists. The double
:56:29. > :56:39.tuck wrapped it up very nicely indeed. She was well in control,
:56:39. > :56:53.
:56:53. > :56:58.beautifully done. The third of the moment, the first time they have
:56:58. > :57:07.qualified for the team final for a long while. They are highly
:57:07. > :57:14.delighted to be here. So far the beam has proved a little bit tricky
:57:14. > :57:24.for the gymnasts. A few wobbles from the Japanese. A steady start
:57:24. > :57:25.
:57:25. > :57:32.for Romania. A storming start for the USA. Plenty of little
:57:32. > :57:42.deductions. Her execution score was down in the Sevens. They have never
:57:42. > :57:57.
:57:58. > :58:04.been strong on asymmetric bars, the double tuck. She does that
:58:04. > :58:14.beautifully, very nice indeed. Lovely height on the leaks. She
:58:14. > :58:24.lifts up high before she makes the upturn or at the Shay in the air. A
:58:24. > :58:34.relatively simple double tuck to finish. On we go to the second
:58:34. > :58:56.
:58:56. > :59:00.piece of apparatus. Great Britain bulls we did not save. I cannot
:59:00. > :59:10.think of any team starting more emphatically than these American
:59:10. > :59:10.
:59:10. > :59:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:59:55. > :00:05.very good score. The USA each China by quite a hefty margin. -- lead
:00:05. > :00:10.
:00:10. > :00:19.Three pieces to go up and Great Britain have Beth Tweddle to go on
:00:19. > :00:25.two pieces of apparatus, the floor and the bars. The teams now all
:00:25. > :00:32.move on. Two teams on to each piece. The Russian team warming up on the
:00:32. > :00:36.bars. Every gymnast gets there few seconds to warm up. Every gymnasts
:00:37. > :00:42.allowed to get the bars just as they like them. This is the
:00:43. > :00:48.Canadian team on the vault. If a team works first on a piece, they
:00:48. > :00:52.were second on the next. Which means the gymnasts rush from the
:00:53. > :00:59.floor to the vault. You can see the Canadians early finishing the floor
:00:59. > :01:08.and this is Romania warming up on the beam. They will be looking for
:01:08. > :01:18.a greet -- great piece here won't they, Chris? They will. Japan start
:01:18. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :02:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:02:27. > :02:37.gymnasts in qualification all round. good connection into the pipe. Two
:02:37. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:48.stoops. Could transfer to the lower bar. Plenty of flight back to the
:02:48. > :02:58.high bar. Plenty of time and into for fall twisting double that it
:02:58. > :03:00.
:03:00. > :03:10.was sharp, quick. And very nice indeed. I Aliya Mustafina will
:03:10. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:37.follow. And and Victoria, over. -- good vaulting past. Got into the
:03:37. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:47.final in 2009 in this arena. She has qualified this year, Canada
:03:47. > :03:49.
:03:49. > :03:59.looking to build on that score. Very nicely, that double twist.
:03:59. > :04:03.
:04:03. > :04:07.These gymnasts so efficient with the flip action onto the platform.
:04:07. > :04:14.They have had a good start. Halfway through their competition already,
:04:14. > :04:20.the way this format is. wouldn't believe it, would you?
:04:20. > :04:30.really did attack it. Good repulsion upwards. Keeps the twist
:04:30. > :04:30.
:04:30. > :04:36.efficient. Just a tiny adjustment. Judges don't have the benefit as we
:04:36. > :04:46.do of seeing it in slow-motion. Unless a stewards inquiry goes in,
:04:46. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:14.like we saw last night. Canada are shoulders, at 16. She is the
:05:14. > :05:20.Canadian vault champion. 6.3 difficulty. She went back on her
:05:20. > :05:27.heels to ensure a good approach. That it really was a good team
:05:27. > :05:37.effort from Canada. It is good to see two of the Canadian gymnasts
:05:37. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:11.like we were joined the Japanese on control of the pictures he was
:06:11. > :06:19.seeing. It is the Japanese company doing the coverage. Maybe that is
:06:19. > :06:29.why they are going to favour the floor exercise. There is the
:06:29. > :06:38.
:06:38. > :06:42.Olympic champion from 1980. Canada going very well. Canada has the
:06:42. > :06:49.third highest vaulting score in this competition so far with the
:06:49. > :06:57.USA the highest and Russia second. They seem to be struggling to make
:06:57. > :07:01.their minds up of work to go next. If I were them, I would go with the
:07:01. > :07:11.European champion on the bars. Yes, they agree with us. They have been
:07:11. > :07:13.
:07:13. > :07:23.listening to you. Victoria needs to do everything she can. Look at the
:07:23. > :07:38.
:07:39. > :07:47.wonderfully at the moment. Pirouettes. She knows how to work
:07:47. > :07:53.this apparatus. Just little Benn's legs on the down swings. That was a
:07:53. > :07:59.huge dismount. It was a big routine all the way through. Russia chasing
:07:59. > :08:06.the USA and that will inch them close-up. This is Russia's
:08:06. > :08:13.apparatus aware as the vault is the Americans will stop works with
:08:13. > :08:23.apparent ease. Takes everything a little bit further. Super dismount.
:08:23. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :09:02.Olympic champion. Such experience. Double spin, beautifully executed.
:09:02. > :09:02.
:09:02. > :09:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:09:46. > :09:56.joined element. Beautifully Indeed. The 24-year-old European
:09:56. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:14.USA but some very good bar workers in the USA? They are not so
:10:14. > :10:23.renowned, really just the one good worker on the bars. But from
:10:23. > :10:33.Catalina Ponor, that was a special been routine. She hardly faltered.
:10:33. > :10:40.
:10:40. > :10:50.This one the youngest, 16. A lot of 16 year-olds here. 2.5 twists into
:10:50. > :11:00.the straight front somersault. They are really going for simple work,
:11:00. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:11:42. > :11:52.but done very well. No execution But not very sophisticated, the
:11:52. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :12:01.actual dance. As you said, a young gymnast needs to do a good tumble.
:12:01. > :12:06.So accurate. If you were wondering, what has happened to the British
:12:06. > :12:10.girls. They are in this same group and they will be going next on the
:12:10. > :12:20.floor. Warm-up time will start a very shortly. Russia has finished
:12:20. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:30.as well. There is there score. consistent scoring. When you look
:12:31. > :12:40.at them on the asymmetric bars, come Byrd to Romania, a huge
:12:41. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :12:59.difference. -- compared to Romania. Victoria Komova, top qualifier all
:13:00. > :13:09.round. Those little button earrings she had in will be all the fashion
:13:10. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:15.now. Would you have expected a higher score than that, Chris?
:13:16. > :13:25.is their top piece. They are not judging particularly highly on the
:13:26. > :13:27.

:47:26. > :47:31.
:47:31. > :47:38.that. She has done super work so far. And a bit of a hop to the side.
:47:38. > :47:47.That really is a big dismount. She should not be too dejected, I have
