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

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

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

: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

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

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

:43:17.: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.

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

:47:25.: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.

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

Thomas the Great Britain Bostock it has been a great competition so far.

And big routine for him, Chris? is indeed. Not a physique

: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

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

landing. You can see the muscle definition in his arms, shoulders.

The ultimate test of strength. Power to weight ratio. Not only

was a clean, Central somersault. Not the most flamboyant struggle.

: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.

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

safe, you can't change your mind. - - a 100% vault. Marcel Nguyen is

: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

: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

sharp. Good control handstand, that Turner was quite good. They close

changes the body up into the air, or is going to set a big challenge,

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.

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

the same dynamic, really. You see it on the high bar. He is usually

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

high and clean. I noticed this week difficult as it looks but it is a

nice little touch. The straddle Front, he is clean on his releases,

he is keeping the swing, this is a good gymnast and a lovely double

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

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
