the gold rush going to continue in the velodrome? I have my fingers | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
crossed. We will have Chris Boardman with us, and he is clearly | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
a lucky charm. Over the next few hours, gymnastics will be our main | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
feature. Coming up in just a few moments will be the men's all-round | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
final. We have got Kristian Thomas and Daniel Purvis going for Great | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
:00:28. | :00:30. | ||
Britain. We have then got women's volleyball. Then we will have all | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
:00:40. | :00:51. | ||
the latest from Weymouth. And They are leading 1-0 at the moment. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Plenty of options on the red button as well. Now it is gymnastics. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
Wonderful scenes two days ago when Great Britain picked up that | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
unexpected bronze medal. Christine Thomas and Daniel Purvis are back | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
today. Kristin qualified 5th and Dan 10th, so there is an outside | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
chance of a medal. The man they all have to beat his Co hate what she | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
:01:28. | :01:37. | ||
Mora of Japan. -- Kohei Uchimura. He is a man on a mission here. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Listen to their reaction of the crowd when they hear his name. He | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
:01:52. | :01:54. | ||
is a superstar. He is on form here. A touch of class. Absolutely | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
:02:04. | :02:25. | ||
extraordinary. What a joy. Here That will do very nicely. Genius | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
:02:35. | :02:36. | ||
and that his wife. He is the best in the world. They have not been | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
beaten for the last three years. The competition is just getting | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
under way, so let's join our commentators, Mitch Fenner, | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
:02:57. | :03:11. | ||
individual final. Christine Thomas has been so consistent throughout. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Let's hope that consistency continues. This is not the place | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
for it to end. There we can see him. He will be the first gymnast to go | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
in this competition on the floor, the piece of apparatus that sealed | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
the bronze. Daniel Purvis will start over on pommel horse. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Interestingly, the man with a towel around his shoulders, there are six | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
gymnasts in with a really good chance here and amongst them are | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
two British. Absolutely amazing. They have earned the right to be | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
ranked in that top six in terms of scores. Christine Thomas -- | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
Kristian Thomas is Nistor consistency. He has been injured | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
for some time and this is his comeback. He is an extraordinary | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
gymnast. He sometimes it loses a bit of execution on pommel horse. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
Kohei Uchimura has been a little bit rusty whilst he has been here. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
The question is, will they get the Polish out? I have a feeling they | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
will be much better. How much has winning that bronze medal taken out | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
of the British couple? They have done a lot of media work and | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
interviews. I hope they can keep calm and he concentrated on the job | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
:05:06. | :05:06. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :05:06. | :06:05. | |
at hand. They have done an awful controlled. Very clean, very | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
:06:15. | :06:15. | ||
stylish at the moment. The final double Arabian. That will do very | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
nicely indeed. What a star if indeed with five pieces to go. He | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
will move on to pommel horse. impressive. He has done a lot of | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
media work and two competitions already and he just looked as fresh | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
:06:45. | :06:48. | ||
as he could be. That was the big, double, pike, Arabian. He kicked | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
out at the perfect time. He meets the floor into the fault Western | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
Front. There is a philosophy to say that when you are tired you go into | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:47. | ||
auto drive and that looked a bit but not the most difficult we will | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :08:10. | ||
his appalled in the team championship which brought an end | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:20. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :08:20. | :09:21. | |
to the hopes of the USA, so he has is going to be a cracker of a | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
:09:31. | :09:41. | ||
competition. Come on, Dan. Gosh, he is still on the pommel horse. We | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
might have taken a break, but he did not. He is winning dutifully | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
:09:56. | :09:56. | ||
now. Just lost forms slightly, but this is big difficulty, this | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
:10:06. | :10:06. | ||
routine. He looks totally determined. Well done. Well done | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
indeed. Massive difficulty in there and he made a good recovery. That | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
would do a great deal for his confidence that he overcame the | :10:16. | :10:26. | |
difficulties. That is a good, safe start. It gave us a few | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
palpitations, but he is focused. Into the very difficult rushing | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:43. | ||
combination at the end. He got himself together. A very good | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
:10:53. | :10:53. | ||
recovery and then the dismount was fluid. This is the thing, it is | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
that interesting combination between the difficulty and the | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
executions. If you let the form go a little bit, if you have a high | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
difficult to value, it is not too dangerous or damaging. You cannot | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
compromise, you have to make the equation, go for a difficulty and | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
focus to go through it. There is no compromise. He looks very anxious | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
waiting for the score. He struggled a bit on pommel horse in | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
qualification. He was much better in team final. He will be pleased | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
to have it over with. That is all right. Indeed it is. Here he is, a | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
legend. He has won the last three titles at the World all-around | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
:12:01. | :12:08. | ||
final. Has he got his individual head on? It was not there for the | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
team. That is a good start. He lost the shape a little bit, but did | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:48. | ||
very well to get it back. This is good start. That was the dismount | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
that caused the judges' dispute. It downgraded Great Britain's silver | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
to a bronze. He is very happy with that performance. He struggled on | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
pommel horse the whole time throughout the competition. He is | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
not usually very demonstrative, but you can see he was definitely | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
thrilled to land that dismount in one piece. It was in the Olympic | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
final where he fell off twice in the pommel horse that stopped him | :13:23. | :13:33. | |
:13:33. | :13:51. | ||
getting the gold. Yes, he got the is very quiet, but he will approach. | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
A very good all-rounder. I think that step was out of the floor area. | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
It will be a deduction. But you need every point at this level. | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
Lovely technique. Half in, double front, half out. Really versatile | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
in his technique. Very speedy with his performance. He zips through | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
:14:35. | :14:41. | ||
the floor routine. They have to show all areas, balance, control. | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:55. | ||
Power as well. That was the power. Lovely control on the landings. A | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
triple twist, but he was a little bit short. They will give it to him | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:40. | ||
it with a deduction, but that was nicely constructed routine. Just a | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:58. | ||
few tiny execution errors. A little on, how costly will those mistakes | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
have been? CHRISTINE STILL: Quite costly. And | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
of course, the Russian team must have been very disappointed with | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
:16:16. | :16:16. | ||
their final position in the team final. Well, Team USA had an | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
absolute disaster in the team competition. Danell Leyva was their | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
:16:32. | :16:36. | ||
highest qualifier. This, a real chance for gold. I hope he can hold | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
:16:46. | :17:04. | ||
his focus, he is a very elegant the difficult lift from that | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
:17:14. | :17:43. | ||
position, beautifully performed. He very unusual, absolutely pencil | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
straight. No wonder you're celebrating. The celebration will | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
continue, when he meets up with his stepfather. But yes, Danell Leyva | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
looks like the one to beat. I will tell you more about his stepfather | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
:18:12. | :18:14. | ||
in a while. But first, we can join Capelli on the rings. A 25-year-old | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
swish -- Swiss gymnast. Not sure how much he will threaten for the | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
podium places. He has been a stalwart for Switzerland in the | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
:18:36. | :18:57. | ||
World Championships. He is a strong shaky at the top. Into the | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
dismount... I will tell you what, he did well to get through that | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
routine, because he got a swing on right at the start, and he never | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
really cancelled it out. And you will remember that from your days, | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
:19:24. | :19:40. | ||
Matt, once you get a swing on, it from the Ukrainian. They are | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
:19:50. | :20:21. | ||
building a reputation these days. Japanese handstand. That's the | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
second link influenced by the pommel horse, and he did it very | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
:20:34. | :20:55. | ||
well. This is a good start. Good because it was a clean routine. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
MATT BAKER: That's it for the first rotation. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
We will be back live at the gymnastics shortly, but a short | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
time ago, you may have seen Bradley Wiggins taking a Olympic gold in | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
the Time Trial. What a month it has been for him. His fourth gold, his | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
seventh Olympic medal in total, making him the most decorated | :21:19. | :21:29. | |
:21:29. | :21:29. | ||
British Olympian ever. He has been speaking to Jill Douglas. Bradley, | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
a nation toasts you. What does this mean to you? I cannot put it into | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
words, I cannot do it justice. It was incredible. To win an and | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Olympic gold in your home city, in the velodrome, would have been | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
incredible, with 4,000 people cheering you on, but to do it | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
around the streets of wherever we are, it was phenomenal. Just going | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
through Kingston at the end, the noise was amazing. I don't think my | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
sporting career will over top that. What a month it has been, winning | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
the Tour the France, and the Time Trial at the Olympic Games, that's | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
it now, it is never going to get any better than that. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
incredibly, so many of these people are wearing sideburns. It is mad, | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
isn't it? Now, that medal, seven Olympic medals, Britain's most | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
decorated Olympian - what does that mean? Well, this morning, I kept | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
seeing these reports on the television, saying that it had to | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
be gold or nothing today. What's the point in having seven medals if | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
they have to be one colour? But the main thing is that it is number | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
four. So, I have got to go on to Rio now, to get number five. But | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
just a word for Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Steve Redgrave, to be up there | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
with those guys, it is very special. You looked a bit thoughtful on the | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
top step of that podium, what was going on in your mind? I was trying | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
to soak it in, because I had no memories of the other terms, it | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
happened so quick. To be here in front of, wherever we are, that | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
castle over there, it is just so British. The sun came out | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:41. | ||
eventually, and it has topped it Rio, that's great news. And that | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
followed on from the gold medal earlier at Eton Dorney. Anyway, now, | :23:48. | :23:58. | |
:23:58. | :24:01. | ||
the first gymnast up on to the rings, but these are the standings | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:29. | ||
have vaulted to be higher up the standings. Until they have all gone | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
on that piece of apparatus, you really have no idea. This is just a | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
warm-up, do not worry about this! But so far, so very good, for | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Kristian Thomas. CHRISTINE STILL: Very much so. He | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
really gave an almost faultless routine. Probably the best floor | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
routine we have seen him do. We have seen him do it twice in the | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
team competition, and today, as an individual. We were thinking, can | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
he do it all over again? But certainly, from his first piece, it | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
looks like he can. This is just the warm-up, as you say, they are not | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
doing a full routine. Dan will be the first one up on to the rings, | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
and Kristian will be the last one, so he will have quite a long wait. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
That cannot help, which? MITCH FENNER: It is difficult to | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
keep your focus, but these guys are used to it. It evens out as the | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
:25:50. | :25:57. | ||
have struggled on, really. Looking at their team score, they could do | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
with an extra mark on this one. I always used to find this one a very | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
difficult piece of apparatus. demands, in terms of physical | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
preparation, the strength you need, we have got a young team, but we do | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
need to address it. We have got youngsters coming through, some | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
very good people coming through, so we can make right the problem on | :26:19. | :26:29. | |
:26:29. | :26:39. | ||
highest scores in the all-round competition in the world this year. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
Straight into a very impressive strength element, held easily. He | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
:26:53. | :27:01. | ||
secure. Lovely technique in the hamster and shape. Forward, into | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
:27:11. | :27:13. | ||
the somersault. He has got great control at the top of his swing. | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
:27:23. | :27:24. | ||
Double twister! He squeezed in the extra half. That was good work. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
crammed in the difficulty, and I have to say, that is probably one | :27:27. | :27:37. | |
:27:37. | :27:40. | ||
of the best routines I have seen him do on the rings. Yes, his | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
strength work is coming along nicely. It was very well put | :27:43. | :27:53. | |
:27:53. | :27:55. | ||
together. He swings like a dream on this apparatus. He knows where to | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
put the Rings, very disciplined. know the British lads have made | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
such an impact at these Olympics, and to be talking about them up in | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
the top five in the world, it is really quite extraordinary. Well, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
because we will have to get used to it, because this is going to be | :28:17. | :28:27. | |
:28:27. | :28:38. | ||
around for a long time, I'm sure, tentative on the pommel horse. He | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
just does not look comfortable this year, somehow. He looks just a | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
little bit slim. I just wonder whether he has got the strength on | :28:48. | :28:58. | |
:28:58. | :29:13. | ||
this apparatus. Technically, he is Yes, you need to show those | :29:13. | :29:18. | |
strength positions for long enough. That's good. He has got the time on | :29:18. | :29:28. | |
:29:28. | :29:59. | ||
ride today, he is looking the best we have seen him. John Orozco, he | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
looks stressed. Oh, my word. Well, he is out of the running, and he | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
was a potential medallist. So, what does that mean for Kristian Thomas | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
and Daniel Purvis, and for this man? Well, my word! That was a | :30:18. | :30:27. | |
disastrous start, he will not get the value for that. He has been | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
suffering with ankle injuries, and obviously, while that has been | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
happening, he has spent a lot of time on the support phases, he is | :30:36. | :30:46. | |
:30:46. | :30:46. | ||
swinging much better, and he kicked off up into that dismount there. I | :30:46. | :30:56. | |
:30:56. | :31:04. | ||
would say that was not without very well. It wasn't fluid, you are | :31:04. | :31:10. | |
quite right. He missed the hands stand so he will be down on | :31:10. | :31:16. | |
difficulty. Lots of skewing going on. A clever little dismount, but | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
there wasn't a lot in it before then. He played a little bit to | :31:21. | :31:31. | |
:31:31. | :31:45. | ||
save. He is not convinced with that school you were expecting to see | :31:45. | :31:54. | |
the Hambuchen, Mitch? He will be lucky if he is in Heidi 13. This | :31:54. | :32:04. | |
:32:04. | :32:11. | ||
man looks like the one to beat. So incredibly focused. -- high 13. | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
There is a bit of deliberation over this score. I was hoping he was | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
going to make his mark here. This is his weakest piece. He is very | :32:22. | :32:29. | |
solid on the rest. His difficulty score will be down a little. It was | :32:29. | :32:34. | |
a very quick at routine and he made some technical errors. Just wait | :32:34. | :32:44. | |
:32:44. | :32:47. | ||
until you see him on high bar. absolutely. Deliberation. It looks | :32:47. | :32:52. | |
like they have made a decision, they are punching the score in. It | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
should be with us in just a few moments. Kristian Thomas in this | :32:58. | :33:04. | |
same group, so he will be watching this. Hopefully it will be building | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
his confidence. It can have that affect can't it? Is it a good day | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
or a bad day for the pommel horse? He is probably not Kristian | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
Thomas's strongest piece. The British team did not use him on the | :33:19. | :33:25. | |
pommel horse in the team final when you only use three people. It will | :33:25. | :33:32. | |
be a PC will be happy to get out of the way. Already starting his | :33:32. | :33:42. | |
:33:42. | :33:48. | ||
preparation for the Rings. -- a piece. You may remember seeing his | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
team mate go out of the arena. He is here, because he is resting his | :33:53. | :34:03. | |
:34:03. | :34:09. | ||
fault. -- feet. He was pretty much dead centre. What are you want in | :34:09. | :34:19. | |
:34:19. | :34:24. | ||
an all-around competition. Good bit of judging. No 13. This is a vital | :34:24. | :34:33. | |
piece of apparatus the David Belyavskiy. Stretching the body out. | :34:33. | :34:43. | |
:34:43. | :34:45. | ||
He worked fast and managed to keep the momentum going. Well lifted | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
above the handle. You have to keep your whole body above the handle | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
and not touch it. Every time you touch the handle for the horse the | :34:55. | :35:02. | |
there are deductions. He ended of battling through to the dismount. | :35:02. | :35:10. | |
We have yet to see a smooth the pommel horse routine. He exploded | :35:10. | :35:20. | |
:35:20. | :35:22. | ||
once, but did very well to hang on. At this stage ahead of his team | :35:22. | :35:32. | |
:35:32. | :35:41. | ||
is leading this competition is because he put in a massive vault | :35:42. | :35:51. | |
:35:52. | :35:55. | ||
and scored 16. Easy start. He bent his arms, these days you expect | :35:55. | :36:05. | |
:36:05. | :36:29. | ||
Dismount was cleanly done. We are seeing some enormous scores on the | :36:29. | :36:35. | |
vault. Don't be do -- two surprised when you see the British boys drop | :36:35. | :36:45. | |
:36:45. | :36:46. | ||
down the standings. Nice, clean work. Look at the tightness of that. | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
You don't really see the parallel bars until you land on them when | :36:50. | :37:00. | |
:37:00. | :37:31. | ||
you catch like that. Able to open routine? Smoothly into the first | :37:31. | :37:38. | |
handstand and down from the second. A good start. Building his | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
difficulty, moving quickly along, his hands are very good and | :37:45. | :37:55. | |
:37:55. | :38:02. | ||
That was definite strength. You should swing straight up into the | :38:02. | :38:11. | |
hands stand because it was a good routine until then. There is a | :38:11. | :38:21. | |
:38:21. | :38:21. | ||
question whether he gets a dismount because he did it with strength. | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
You need to swing all the way through. They could argue it was | :38:26. | :38:36. | |
:38:36. | :38:56. | ||
done with strength, but they could competition. He will have drawn on | :38:56. | :39:06. | |
:39:06. | :39:33. | ||
every ounce of experience those the swing. -- handstand. He became | :39:33. | :39:43. | |
:39:43. | :39:43. | ||
world champion at 16. Very nicely done. He put in a very good Scott | :39:43. | :39:51. | |
on the vault. He is in with a shout with four pieces to go. Good style | :39:51. | :40:01. | |
:40:01. | :40:31. | ||
school because he is under his apparatus for the Ukrainian team. | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
Turning all the time he is travelling and that makes the | :40:34. | :40:44. | |
elements all the more difficult. A bit untidy with his feet. He missed | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
the pirouette. I'm not sure what happened at the end, that it wasn't | :40:48. | :40:58. | |
:40:58. | :41:01. | ||
the plan. It is all happening on the pommel horse. The next gymnasts | :41:01. | :41:11. | |
:41:11. | :41:17. | ||
is Kristian Thomas. A real test of focus and nerve. Just about rescued | :41:17. | :41:27. | |
:41:27. | :41:44. | ||
appeal against his pommel horse Gore. We will bring you news on | :41:44. | :41:54. | |
:41:54. | :42:16. | ||
that as it happens. -- pommel horse worth Malone 13. -- low 13. Quite | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
uncharacteristic, that dismount. He is a reserve for the pommel horse | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
final. There will be a small delay while they discuss what they will | :42:27. | :42:37. | |
:42:37. | :42:51. | ||
get the dismount. But it is clear hoping to squeeze into 15 if he can | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
false start he has made a real name for himself over the past few days. | :42:56. | :43:06. | |
:43:06. | :43:07. | ||
Keep it going. Triple Russian between the handles. A very | :43:07. | :43:17. | |
:43:17. | :43:19. | ||
difficult. Very nicely done. Into a triple Russian on the end. This is | :43:19. | :43:28. | |
nice, keep it going. He is really working. He has made the difficult | :43:28. | :43:38. | |
:43:38. | :43:45. | ||
this amount. that so well. He is going round | :43:45. | :43:54. | |
like an absolute trooper. Can see the strain the pommel horse puts on | :43:54. | :44:04. | |
:44:04. | :44:08. | ||
the wrists. Big skill that one. Huge. He is no tiny gymnast either. | :44:08. | :44:15. | |
He has a lot of length to move around. He really went for broke | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
and made does pirouettes. Absolutely thrilled. I just hope as | :44:21. | :44:26. | |
he goes round he can just hold it together. Because the pressure will | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
build as he moves around the six pieces of apparatus. He has four | :44:31. | :44:39. | |
left, just got to remain calm. This is Joshua Jeffries, just chalking | :44:39. | :44:47. | |
up the parallel bars. This is one of his strongest pieces. He is in | :44:47. | :44:57. | |
:44:57. | :44:57. | ||
medal contention after the last rotation. The 26-year-old will be | :44:57. | :45:06. | |
hoping to keep up his consistency. Joshua Jeffries, the only gymnast, | :45:06. | :45:16. | |
:45:16. | :45:17. | ||
male gymnast from Australia in the competition. Just a splits of his | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
:45:27. | :45:51. | ||
legs on the half turn. Lovely way up to the handstand. Into this | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
amount. A little step back but that was a good performance. That is how | :45:56. | :46:06. | |
:46:06. | :46:16. | ||
you want to go round the six pieces. pommel horse inquiry has been | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
rejected. It is good work from Judge Jefferies. He is quite a | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
compact figure. -- from Joshua Jefferis. They tend to work the | :46:29. | :46:38. | |
power bars quite well. He did difficult work, and very easily. | :46:38. | :46:44. | |
The man who is aiming for Olympic gold, Kohei Uchimura, a gold to add | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
to the 3 all round world championship titles that he has won. | :46:48. | :46:58. | |
:46:58. | :47:10. | ||
expect him to shoot up the standings. 25 years old. He was 9th | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
in the World Championships in the all-around. A rangy figure, that is | :47:15. | :47:25. | |
:47:25. | :47:37. | ||
a nice bold. 15.358. -- that is a Expect him to impress, with a seven | :47:37. | :47:43. | |
at difficulty. Watch him fight, up with the half turn, really cleanly | :47:43. | :47:50. | |
out. -- watch him fly. That was an enormous score. Eight teen years | :47:50. | :48:00. | |
:48:00. | :48:17. | ||
he must have got a reasonable boost there. All of the gymnasts who have | :48:17. | :48:27. | |
:48:27. | :48:34. | ||
vaulted are the highest up there, Thomas, considering he has not | :48:34. | :48:44. | |
:48:44. | :48:44. | ||
vaulted yet. Tommasone has faltered, as we have seen. I thought Garibov | :48:44. | :48:54. | |
would be higher. Daniel Purvis in 17s, ahead of Marcel and goyim. -- | :48:54. | :49:04. | |
:49:04. | :49:09. | ||
Purvis in 17th. Ahead of Marcel Greenwich Arena, there are choices | :49:09. | :49:19. | |
:49:19. | :49:21. | ||
on the BBC. Great Britain are expected to win this hockey match. | :49:21. | :49:27. | |
Plenty of options on the red button, including tennis. Andy Murray is in | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
trouble, up against the dangerous Cypriot, Marcos Baghdatis. He has | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
dropped the opening set on Centre Court. That match is available on | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
the red button on all platforms. Plenty happening. Let's go back to | :49:41. | :49:51. | |
:49:51. | :49:55. | ||
the gymnastics. It is the start of the first piece of apparatus. If | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
Kristian Thomas can put in a vault like he did in the team final, you | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
would expect him to be right up there in the medals. It makes such | :50:03. | :50:13. | |
:50:13. | :50:20. | ||
a difference. The leaders are there with the 16 voters. -- 16 vaulters. | :50:20. | :50:24. | |
Christian is capable, he has done it twice. What did he get in the | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
team, 16.55? The higher score of anyone in the competition and the | :50:30. | :50:33. | |
highest score we have seen on the bulk ever in a major competition, I | :50:33. | :50:43. | |
:50:43. | :50:56. | ||
something approaching 16. -- Kohei Uchimura will be looking for. | :50:56. | :51:02. | |
Hoping to fault his way to the top of the standings and into the | :51:02. | :51:12. | |
:51:12. | :51:13. | ||
position for Olympic gold. He lines up. Everything on target. He will | :51:13. | :51:22. | |
spin like nothing else. Absolutely precise! I think he means business | :51:22. | :51:28. | |
today. He is fed up with feeling sorry for himself. Wow! He didn't | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
give anything away there. We'll have a look in slow motion, see | :51:33. | :51:37. | |
what you can take off here. Two- and-a-half twists, he plonked his | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
feet down. Stuck to the ground. It is just incredible, how he can put | :51:45. | :51:53. | |
it out. Line it up, get it out. don't think he will miss out on | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
lack of height. His legs were jammed together, he plonked flat | :51:57. | :52:05. | |
landing. It has got to be a 9.6. I would give it a 9.9, but I am very | :52:05. | :52:13. | |
generous. You will see when the scoreboard comes up, the difficulty | :52:13. | :52:22. | |
in execution. It is a huge score. It was a 6.6 difficulty. So that is | :52:22. | :52:32. | |
:52:32. | :52:34. | ||
9.5? That is a shame, every other day we have at the two cause. -- | :52:34. | :52:44. | |
:52:44. | :52:53. | ||
known for his all-around ability. He looks a bit uncomfortable, the | :52:53. | :53:00. | |
strapped ankle, he does not look a happy chap. Because this is such a | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
high-scoring piece, you have to try to use every single 10th available. | :53:05. | :53:12. | |
He doesn't hardly get anything on it. This is a very stylish bold but | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
not down the middle and without a good landing. -- stylish vaults. It | :53:18. | :53:25. | |
that will be a mark of, eventually. A deep landing, up to the side. -- | :53:25. | :53:35. | |
:53:35. | :53:39. | ||
toll. We have had a lot of gymnastics over the last few days. | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
There are a few gymnasts out there who will want to settle a few | :53:43. | :53:53. | |
:53:53. | :54:02. | ||
scores, and here is one of them. very nice, but a little bit of | :54:02. | :54:07. | |
direction. The aim for the gymnasts is to land one foot either side of | :54:07. | :54:11. | |
the red centre line. He was a little offline. There will be | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
deductions for that. The more twists you do, the more chance you | :54:17. | :54:27. | |
:54:27. | :54:33. | ||
will move to one side or the other, bit of high bar, Soo Myun Kim, | :54:33. | :54:41. | |
leading after the first rotation. The idea here is to swing around, | :54:41. | :54:47. | |
let go, catch it, do a few more swings, and then nail your dismount. | :54:47. | :54:57. | |
:54:57. | :55:24. | ||
Have you thought of coaching as a turn. Again, that measured approach, | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
and a little bit flat, and the half-turn squat, here comes the | :55:29. | :55:36. | |
dismount. Very nicely done. Good swinging routine. He took his time | :55:36. | :55:45. | |
on some elements, he was well in control. Marcel Nguyen, that will | :55:45. | :55:51. | |
push him up into second. Now Leyva. He needs to bring the shoulders | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
down a little further. Every time the gymnasts do one of the strength | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
holds, they want shoulders in line with the rings. But one is better. | :56:01. | :56:11. | |
Must hold for two. It was a bit Harrad. Now they have to show up | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
swing and strength -- it was a bit hurried. Really nice, he lifts into | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
position to finish it off. He is a little jittery. I don't think you | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
could say that was a static cold. This is better. The handstands with | :56:26. | :56:36. | |
control. The forward swing to handstand. Suing to handstand. -- | :56:36. | :56:44. | |
backward swing to handstand. Excellent landing. That will do his | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
challenge no harm at all. He had some tough moments in there. Yeah, | :56:48. | :56:54. | |
but he had some beautiful shape. Lovely awareness on his dismal. He | :56:54. | :57:04. | |
:57:04. | :57:20. | ||
Yes, let's say experienced. It comes with age, experience. He is | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
brilliant on this piece of apparatus. Pozzo is a stalwart, the | :57:25. | :57:35. | |
:57:35. | :57:48. | ||
nice. He has got himself a skilled to start. Exploded in the legs. | :57:48. | :57:57. | |
That is nice and leisurely, 1.5 turns. The same with the full term. | :57:57. | :58:07. | |
:58:07. | :58:23. | ||
Very nicely done. A little bar, here is his dismount. He lost | :58:23. | :58:28. | |
his focus a little way through. case you are wondering, you don't | :58:28. | :58:36. | |
get extra marks for longer routines. Danell Leyva, 14.733. A chance to | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
see Daniel Purvis on his vault, expecting to climb after this. | :58:41. | :58:46. | |
is usually very precise. And he is today as well. A lovely left off | :58:46. | :58:53. | |
the top of the platform. Two-and-a- half twists. Really well controlled. | :58:53. | :59:00. | |
It is a score of 16, which puts him into third. Well... That is very | :59:00. | :59:04. | |
good work. But no surprise. He has a vaulted like that a whole time we | :59:04. | :59:10. | |
have been here. He has got natural style. Very good in the air, look | :59:10. | :59:16. | |
at that. Two-and-a-half twists, a skip to the side. He well deserves | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
his 16, he held his form and his nerve and he finds himself in third | :59:20. | :59:30. | |
:59:30. | :59:30. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :59:30. | :00:38. | |
Championships in the all round. in there. He rescued it, almost. He | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
needed a couple of paces to get his composure back. That is a pity | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :00:55. | ||
because it it was going very well. Next to salute the judges. Kristian | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
Thomas the Great Britain Bostock it has been a great competition so far. | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
And big routine for him, Chris? is indeed. Not a physique | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
enormously suited two rings. But he holds that with determination. And | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
:01:23. | :01:23. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :01:23. | :02:12. | |
beautiful. He did a complex salto position. He is fall of | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
:02:22. | :02:23. | ||
determination. Just a word on his timing. It is very cleverly put | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
together this routine. Don't try anything fancy. He can swing and he | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
is getting better with his strength. Beautifully constructed. He | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :03:00. | ||
squeezed everything possible out of into 4th. That is a good school the | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
Rings, the vault is his next piece. All will be sorted after that. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
has improved his score on each of the three pieces since qualifying. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
John Orozco, out of medal contention. You have to feel for | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
him. We Four pieces to go, to keep your focus and knowing you have | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
thrown it away is very difficult. Feet a little bit low. I had such | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
high hopes for him in these Olympics. He will come back, he is | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
only 19. He won't be able to mask the disappointment. Rings is one of | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:21. | ||
himself. Good effort to come back from that low score on the pommel | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
horse. The three pieces down, and three left. He will move to vault, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
with Kristian Thomas. Let's keep everything crossed he can nail his | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
landing. You can see the muscle definition in his arms, shoulders. | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:54. | ||
The ultimate test of strength. Power to weight ratio. Not only | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
after all that strength zapping work, you have to control it with | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:38. | ||
this bounds like that. -- dismount. gymnastics family. He has a brother | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
:05:48. | :05:48. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :05:48. | :06:45. | |
and a sister in the team as well. lovely light, swinging touches. | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
:06:55. | :06:55. | ||
John Orozco, 15.2, if only it was on the pommel horse. He didn't need | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
to look so sad after the Rings. didn't. That is the thing would be | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
all round, one slip up. Absolutely. You can see the deviation from this | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
overhead camera. How he rattle from side to side as he caught the | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
:07:26. | :07:28. | ||
somersault. That was a better one, much more central. You can see why | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
the bandages round the arms to make sure you do not wear your skin a | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:44. | ||
way as you catch. A very nice dismount. One more gymnasts to go | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:54. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :07:54. | :08:47. | |
in this rotation. That is the on the turn. Very nice handstand | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
:08:57. | :08:58. | ||
shape. Just stalled a little there. Going into the somersaults. That | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
:09:08. | :09:09. | ||
was a clean, Central somersault. Not the most flamboyant struggle. | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:25. | ||
This is nice swinging and that is much more flighty and flamboyant. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
Stalled in rotation and the big step forward was the result. That | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
is it, the gymnasts will as it up there sports bags and move on. -- | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
:09:48. | :09:49. | ||
zip-up. Time goes quickly when you are enjoying yourself. Knees locked | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
:09:59. | :10:15. | ||
for the last three. As soon as Kristian Thomas has bolted, we will | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
know exactly where he is. Great Britain at the moment lying in 5th | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
and 6th. Daniel Purvis in 5th, Kristian Thomas in 6th. Will have | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
to wait and see when the parallel bar score comes in. Very stylish | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:48. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :10:48. | :11:54. | |
Fabulous. Absolutely controlled. 16.1, that will put him in 9th. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
When the vault comes into the equation it is very interesting how | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:12. | ||
it all levels out. It is amazing the difference the table has made. | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
It is a launch pad now, the table? It is at. I say particularly and | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
the men's side, but that the women as well. We are seeing them hit the | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
platform and rockets off it. Daniel Purvis have been split. Gomez has | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
:12:44. | :13:23. | ||
gone into 6th. Halfway round, two yet to vault. And there is the man. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
There is the order, Kristian Thomas will go forth. Hambuchen will wrap | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
it up. Only three chances for those gymnasts and that have struggled so | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
far to put everything right. Daniel Purvis will be Fifth on parallel | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
bars. Not a bad piece of apparatus for him, Chris? No, but he has | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
struggled a bit on its this week, but in the past he has been very | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
strong on it. He got through in the team final not badly, but wasn't | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
his usual, smooth and confident self. He must take quite a bit of | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
:14:21. | :14:35. | ||
confidence through from the vault Championships but South Korea did | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
not have much fun in team qualification. We were expecting | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
them to challenge. He has had a quietly impressive competition. He | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
has done be really good job. It everything. The qualification just | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
seemed one of those days when nothing could go right. They were | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
carrying a couple of injuries and they seemed to struggle with it, | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:34. | ||
in the one and a half twist. Oh, one and a half twists, very | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :15:56. | ||
to be consistent on the six performances. This is the first | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
break of form we have seen in him. He needs to recover it now. It has | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
been very expensive so far. He is in 4th, coming into this. One and a | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
:16:20. | :16:28. | ||
half twists, into one and three- out. -- the triple twist went | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
really out. Too much being and as a result, he just lost it. It is as | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
the pressure builds, as you start to think, hang on, I am in 4th and | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
if I do this one, I will be in the top three. Absolutely, and it flies | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
away from you at that point. Danell Leyva, further down the leaderboard | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
:16:57. | :17:03. | ||
and he would like to be but he is a straight line, not the highest | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
difficulty. We are seeing vaults that are out of seven, that is only | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
:17:18. | :17:19. | ||
out of 6.2. He is given a 0.82 to his competitors. -- he is giving. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
And straight back under the towel. I hope it is a different owl, he | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
has had it every day! A good vault. He was dead centre, he is not | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
giving much away and he can't afford to with a vault of that | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
difficulty. The higher parts are to come for him, and he can't half | :17:40. | :17:50. | |
:17:50. | :18:01. | ||
swing those. -- the high bars are this piece. Positive thinking! | :18:01. | :18:11. | |
:18:11. | :18:20. | ||
just informing everyone! Of the release, that is nice. Separating | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
:18:30. | :18:32. | ||
his releases. A change of grip. A little bit of a bent arm. A full | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
:18:42. | :18:59. | ||
double with a little hop to the side. Well, he is the gymnast to | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
catch for four off. -- for 4th. That is disastrous for the South | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
:19:17. | :19:29. | ||
impressive bowled in the team final. -- impressive vault in the team | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
:19:39. | :19:51. | ||
final. He is hoping for something have to go for it. What a shame. He | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
just squeezed in to heart, it is his first mistake over the whole | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:12. | ||
competition and he will be so just needed to poke it up from the | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
top of the course. It is a good contact from there. He worked very | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
hard on the double pike, he squeezed it in just a little bit | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
too hard. He could have done with a bit more air and to take the pike | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
slightly easier. It will be expensive, and it was crucial at | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
this stage of the competition. won't be a 16.5, I am afraid to say, | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
but he fought hard for it. It is so much a 100% vaults, you can't play | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
:20:57. | :21:01. | ||
safe, you can't change your mind. - - a 100% vault. Marcel Nguyen is | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
:21:11. | :21:20. | ||
the European champion on this piece in the double releases. This is | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:38. | ||
strong from Nguyen. Plenty of time, To me, that is miraculous, the way | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:58. | ||
he clears the bar. He Verniaiev, it exercise from him. Here's one of | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
the real class performers on parallel bars. Look at the height | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
he generates off the bar. Just getting ready for the double | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
somersault. That is one of the best we have seen, not too much of a | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
Scrabble. If you go high, you could see where you are and be ready for | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:33. | ||
A real mark of his own gymnastics, we don't see anyone else perform | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:59. | ||
he will struggle to get up into the rotation. The next to swing the | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
:23:09. | :23:14. | ||
higher bar. Can he keep his composure? So much at stake. Two | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:30. | ||
worker, that was very nice, out into handstand. Winding up now for | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
something big, over the bar he goes, the back somersault with a twist. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
And now the close elements and the turns. Penises to try to make the | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
turns sharp, just like that -- he needs to try to make the turns | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
sharp. Good control handstand, that Turner was quite good. They close | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
:24:06. | :24:06. | ||
element, coming in close to the bar. The gymnast has to show that. He | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
changes the body up into the air, or is going to set a big challenge, | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
it could be Japan 1 and 2 today. Considering he is only in the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
competition because of the injury to his team-mates. Marcel Nguyen | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
will move up. I expect so, it was a brilliant routine and from him. | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
Still a lot of gymnasts to come. anarcha really produced a good bar. | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
:24:51. | :24:51. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :24:51. | :25:37. | |
style. He flies through the double self. He doesn't. He is half a | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
degree under, good business thought he would do if he was half a degree | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
over. He is a phenomenal character. We have seen him be so dominant | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
over these last few years that he could easily make a couple of | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
mistakes and still win. He has had the same quality of work, but not | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
the same dynamic, really. You see it on the high bar. He is usually | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
:26:13. | :26:13. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds | :26:13. | :27:08. | |
high and clean. I noticed this week difficult as it looks but it is a | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
nice little touch. The straddle Front, he is clean on his releases, | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
he is keeping the swing, this is a good gymnast and a lovely double | :27:20. | :27:29. | |
pike. What a dismount! He skips off and makes way for Dan Purvis. | :27:29. | :27:39. | |
:27:39. | :27:57. | ||
Definitely building confidence as somersault, a good high front | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
somersault brings the shoulders and the eyes through, so that he can | :28:02. | :28:10. | |
see the bar. Catch efficiently. Work out of the next move. That is | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
the way he can finish. Very good lift on the dismount, his chest is | :28:17. | :28:27. | |
:28:27. | :28:39. | ||
right up. No deductions for chest competition, apologies, we have to | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
