the choice depends on your supplier. After a string of disappointing | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
results at the archery Larry Godfrey had the crowd on its feet | :01:45. | :01:50. | |

Naomi Folkard went through her first round match to meet Mexico. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Naomi Folkard, she was out here 20 minutes ago, conditions have | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
changed a bit. The cars have lifted, a breeze has picked up. -- the | :02:13. | :02:23. | |

certainly looks comfortable there today. There is a big difference in | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
the appearance of Naomi Folkard. She is lapping up the support at | :05:39. | :05:46. | |

Clearing the target, 70 metres away in front of the Lord's pavilion. It | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
is cold up here. Grey skies, a little bit of breeze. Nothing | :08:15. | :08:20. | |

one away from the six, she can afford to draw the next set and she | :09:59. | :10:09. | |

Another eight to end the SEC. -- It is settled with nine. They will | :12:25. | :12:31. | |

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

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds | :09:02. | :09:46. | |
joined element. Beautifully Indeed. The 24-year-old European | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
:09:56. | :10:08. | ||
USA but some very good bar workers in the USA? They are not so | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
renowned, really just the one good worker on the bars. But from | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
Catalina Ponor, that was a special been routine. She hardly faltered. | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:40. | ||
This one the youngest, 16. A lot of 16 year-olds here. 2.5 twists into | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
the straight front somersault. They are really going for simple work, | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
:11:00. | :11:00. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds | :11:00. | :11:42. | |
but done very well. No execution But not very sophisticated, the | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
:11:52. | :11:54. | ||
actual dance. As you said, a young gymnast needs to do a good tumble. | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
So accurate. If you were wondering, what has happened to the British | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
girls. They are in this same group and they will be going next on the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
floor. Warm-up time will start a very shortly. Russia has finished | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
:12:20. | :12:26. | ||
as well. There is there score. consistent scoring. When you look | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
at them on the asymmetric bars, come Byrd to Romania, a huge | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
:12:41. | :12:52. | ||
difference. -- compared to Romania. Victoria Komova, top qualifier all | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
round. Those little button earrings she had in will be all the fashion | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
:13:10. | :13:10. | ||
now. Would you have expected a higher score than that, Chris? | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
is their top piece. They are not judging particularly highly on the | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
:13:26. | :13:27. | ||
beam. Romania have three gold medals, three silver medals and | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
four bronze medals. Last of the Japanese gymnasts. That means it is | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
warm-up time for Great Britain. Important for the first gymnasts to | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
be quicker and off. 14.166. What kind great Britain go on the floor? | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
:14:01. | :14:02. | ||
In qualifying we went with 42.5, we are hoping they can do as well. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Hoping Jennifer pinches doesn't have any hangover from the beam. | :14:06. | :14:16. | |
:14:16. | :14:17. | ||
She was so steady in qualification. -- jenny pinches. We have the first | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
of the Italian the vaulters. This wasn't a good piece for them in | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
:14:31. | :14:31. | ||
qualification. They really struggled. Looking for a nice clean | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
twist opener. Plenty of acceleration. She did 1.5 twists. | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:51. | ||
5.3 difficulty, very nice and sharp to open. So, Jennifer's on the | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
:15:01. | :15:33. | ||
floor. Her opening tumble. super double tuck, straight into | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:58. | ||
able to leap and tumble. Over the years, she has had to fight hard to | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
:16:08. | :16:09. | ||
control landings. She has met the challenge wonderfully. Just | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
brilliant! Great Britain's Jennifer Pinches. What awaited comeback | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
after a disappointing first piece. That is the way to do it. She was | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
really great there. I think she was saying she could not hear the music. | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Now Jordyn Wieber, can they keep this momentum going? A very | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :17:05. | ||
difficult skill. She did that well the double strength. She needed to | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
:17:15. | :17:16. | ||
hop forward. 14.666 given to Jordyn Wieber. A steadier performance than | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
we saw during the qualification. are waiting for Jenny Pinches' | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
score. She is a lot happier now. She likes this floor routine. She | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
:17:38. | :17:47. | ||
enjoys the performance of it. the other gymnasts. Yes, there is | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
always a great appreciation among other gymnasts for their work. | :17:52. | :18:02. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds | :20:09. | :21:11. | |
am sure you were all bopping along momentum going. Next up will be | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
Beth Tweddle. Even under pressure, they do seem as if they are | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
enjoying a bad experience and that is the key for the home Olympics. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
14.2, the cheers go up for Great Britain's Beth Tweddle, who was | :21:32. | :21:42. | |

crowned floor world champion in absolutely silent arena. This | :22:04. | :22:14. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds | :22:14. | :23:33. | |
job. Absolutely, a little shake of the head there, I think she was | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
peeved she got her tear out on the first tumble but she has got the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
difficulty just outside of the top eight for the qualification for the | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
floor final. That says everything about Beth. Just two steps and she | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
is disappointed with herself. That is why she is such a great | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
competitor. So much power and so much great difficulty. She is a | :23:58. | :24:08. | |

:25:10. | :25:39. | ||
were uncharacteristically some hesitations and that routine. | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
:25:49. | :25:52. | ||
first Chinese gymnast scored 13.766. A bit of a shaky start. Beth | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
Tweddle scores 14.166. That is a good set of scores for Great | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
:26:08. | :26:15. | ||
Flying squirrel, this is Gabby Douglas. She is the really good bar | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
worker in this US team. A nice pirouette we have seen already an | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
:26:30. | :26:48. | ||
look at a height as she flies up in involved in it. That was a super | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
straight dismount. The men had a disastrous team final yesterday so | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
the US they are absolutely determined to make amends for that | :27:00. | :27:10. | |

her on to this team, Chris? indeed. Not going for such a | :29:52. | :29:59. | |
difficult vaults, with just a little step backwards. Job done. | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
The she open for Great Britain on the beam, very steadily. Those are | :30:05. | :30:13. | |
her two pieces. Solid performance from Imogen Cairns. This is good | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
team craft. Send up someone you know is not going to miss. Does not | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
go for broke or difficulty, but technically, she does it with | :30:23. | :30:32. | |

couple of years ago she got into the final at the European | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
Championships? Absolutely, if she did the second one, there would be | :30:43. | :30:53. | |
:30:53. | :31:12. | ||
for Great Britain. Worked every piece, 5.8 difficulty. Big posh. | :31:12. | :31:17. | |
That double twist. A little adjustment at the end to disguise | :31:17. | :31:23. | |
any hint of of big pace. What a comeback and she is loving it in | :31:23. | :31:33. | |
:31:33. | :31:34. | ||
the North Greenwich Arena. She is loving every moment. She hits the | :31:34. | :31:41. | |
top, lifts high. A bit off direction. She was and into the red | :31:41. | :31:48. | |
zone. So the deductions will be limited. A very clean, a very round. | :31:48. | :31:56. | |
Love that little touch at the end. To she is a character, isn't she? | :31:56. | :32:06. | |

She is a character. She has lovely energy in the team. Two down. | :32:12. | :32:22. | |

and big smiles. First chance to see what the beam has in store for the | :33:11. | :33:21. | |
:33:21. | :33:23. | ||
USA. We saw her on the bars performing so beautifully. She can | :33:23. | :33:33. | |
:33:33. | :33:33. | ||
be a little bit uncertain on the beam. But so far it is perfect. | :33:33. | :33:43. | |
:33:43. | :33:46. | ||
There is nothing uncertain about this. So emphatic in the way she | :33:46. | :33:56. | |
:33:56. | :34:00. | ||
approaches this apparatus. It has given had problems, but not today. | :34:00. | :34:10. | |

Today the Beamon went a very well for her. -- the been went at the | :34:49. | :34:58. | |
very well for her. She follows her team mate, Kyla Ross. She is | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
growing in confidence as she is working in this arena. Relatively | :35:04. | :35:14. | |
inexperience gymnast. She has such power. You usually see the gymnasts | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
with their heads on their knees to get it round. Could she windy all | :35:20. | :35:27. | |
round level? She could do. She is in the same club as Shawn Johnson. | :35:27. | :35:33. | |
When she saw him competing at the Olympics, she said, that is the | :35:33. | :35:43. | |
:35:43. | :35:46. | ||
coach I want. They have to move home to change clubs. Have we got a | :35:46. | :35:56. | |
:35:56. | :36:11. | ||
score for Rebecca Tunney? It was a 14.866. Nicely back on course. | :36:11. | :36:20. | |
There is confirmation. Good execution as well. They have | :36:20. | :36:30. | |
:36:30. | :36:35. | ||
vaulted very well indeed. It will be Russia's turn next on the beam. | :36:35. | :36:45. | |

But first, Lu Sui. She is very majestic. A very expressive. That | :36:54. | :37:04. | |

was Sue Bird into the triple twist. gymnasts are beautifully supple. | :37:46. | :37:56. | |
:37:56. | :38:05. | ||
They always show of their wonderful spin as well. Now, she has to do a | :38:05. | :38:15. | |
:38:15. | :38:16. | ||
double somersault. Double rotation. She needed an extraordinary | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
performance because she follows a team mate who scored a 12.5 on the | :38:21. | :38:28. | |
floor. The previous gymnasts to her scored 13.7 33. It was very close | :38:28. | :38:38. | |
:38:38. | :38:58. | ||
between the USA and China going work the beam. They are going | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
around with the USA and they will have watched the USA perform on the | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
beam. Even though there is a new- found energy within the Russian | :39:07. | :39:14. | |
team, it is still a contrast to the Americans. It is quite a mismatch, | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
that pairing. They look like the weight of the world is on their | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
shoulders. It is a punchy determination of the United States | :39:25. | :39:33. | |
against the grace and elegance of the Russians - it will always be so. | :39:33. | :39:43. | |
:39:43. | :39:51. | ||
And the worst fall a on Aliya Mustafina's face. -- West forelock. | :39:51. | :40:01. | |
:40:01. | :40:03. | ||
It was a very charming routine. Look at that for a total. Compare | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
that with the joined scores America are putting in, over 45 and that | :40:07. | :40:17. | |
:40:17. | :40:50. | ||
move properly. Shoulders up on the back somersaults. So far she has | :40:50. | :40:57. | |
managed to get all of the connections. Just OPs for the | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
simple spin. Bit of a wobble on the side somersault. A difficult move | :41:02. | :41:12. | |
:41:12. | :41:25. | ||
because you cannot see the beam as somersault so well. They are also | :41:25. | :41:35. | |
:41:35. | :41:35. | ||
powerful. Same wit that this amounts. Everything looks easy. | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
Kyla Ross so keen to show what she can do on the beam. She did not | :41:41. | :41:47. | |
make the beam final simply because of the rule of three. Two gymnasts | :41:47. | :41:57. | |

Super, super double straight. They Enormously difficult tumbles and | :43:47. | :43:52. | |
finishes with that one that was sky-high. I think I would have to | :43:52. | :44:01. | |
say that is my favourite routine so far in this competition. Beautiful | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
tumbling and presented so well. Has a great time out there and carries | :44:05. | :44:12. | |
the audience along with her. did get a silver at the Youth | :44:12. | :44:19. | |
Olympics. You can see why. So much acceleration. Look at that double | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
straight, absolutely marvellous. The second somersault almost goes | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
higher than the first on that. Incredible technique. Everything | :44:31. | :44:38. | |
she did had so much vitality. Romanians were the highest | :44:38. | :44:43. | |
qualifiers on the floor as a team. She is the first of three four-star | :44:43. | :44:53. | |
:44:53. | :45:02. | ||
and that was with a mistake. One of noticed but they used the other | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
pieces to edge back into contention. They will be creeping up quietly, | :45:07. | :45:17. | |
:45:17. | :45:18. | ||
you can be sure of that. Russia are yet have a massive mistake on beam. | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
The eagle-eyed may have spotted a small wobble from Aliya Mustafina | :45:22. | :45:32. | |
:45:32. | :45:32. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds | :45:32. | :46:15. | |
deceptive. She is a tiny gymnast gymnasts on beam. She can be | :46:15. | :46:25. | |
:46:25. | :46:57. | ||
wonderful on the beam, she has got fantastically pointed, fingers | :46:57. | :47:07. | |
:47:07. | :47:16. | ||
Russian style but then equally there would be a silly mistake like | :47:16. | :47:26. | |
:47:26. | :47:31. | ||
that. She has done super work so far. And a bit of a hop to the side. | :47:31. | :47:38. | |
That really is a big dismount. She should not be too dejected, I have | :47:38. | :47:47. | |
seen her do a lot worse. Russia where in second ahead of China | :47:47. | :47:57. | |
after the last rotation. Aliya Mustafina, the gymnast before so | :47:57. | :48:07. | |

brilliant but there were errors. Yes, towards the end of the routine. | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
Almost as if her concentration went a bit. I think it is unbelievable | :48:31. | :48:38. | |
how high she was on that. That that relatively simple move and she has | :48:38. | :48:47. | |
a big wobble on that. Yet another example of going for broke on | :48:47. | :48:57. | |
:48:57. | :48:57. | ||
difficulty and taking the risk. Big, big scale. -- skill. It still had a | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
lot of good work. I have seen her in the past when something has gone | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
wrong like that, just give up and fall over. If I was her coaches, I | :49:07. | :49:17. | |
:49:17. | :49:30. | ||
got an approach which is amazing. A bit of aggression but a lovely | :49:30. | :49:39. | |
style to go with it, of course. Russians and USA will move round to | :49:39. | :49:49. | |

all with core stability. Good body little dip of the leg but I thought | :51:21. | :51:26. | |
that was a lovely routine, beautiful. Russia doing all they | :51:26. | :51:32. | |
