:02:46.:02:48.

we had her father in the studio shedding tears of pride because his

:02:49.:02:54.

daughter carried the flag for Wales at Opening Ceremony. She won two

:02:55.:03:00.

Silver Medals before today. But today was her last ever rhythmic

:03:01.:03:04.

gymnastics competition comfort she go out in style? -- competition,

:03:05.:03:17.

could she could out in style? Canada's Patricia Bezzoubenko could

:03:18.:03:22.

come away with a bag full of medals. An all round champion's performance.

:03:23.:03:27.

Atricka Bezzoubenko takes the -- Patricia Bezzoubenko takes the lead.

:03:28.:03:30.

Frankie Jones is growing with every second of this competition. Her

:03:31.:03:35.

third silver. Bezzoubenko, dare we say it, is a clean sweep on the

:03:36.:03:42.

cards? Go Laura is the message. Laura Halford, impressive

:03:43.:03:46.

performance. Frankie Jones has gone into the lead. What a team, what a

:03:47.:03:56.

performance. By some distance, Patricia Bezzoubenko takes her

:03:57.:03:59.

fourth Gold Medal. Yet another Silver Medal for Frankie Jones. She

:04:00.:04:05.

literally is going from strength to strength. Bezzoubenko, a fifth gold,

:04:06.:04:16.

an incredible achievement already. Frankie Jones from Wales, can she

:04:17.:04:22.

produce a golden performance? Her final performance of what has been a

:04:23.:04:25.

truly memorable championships for her. She's living it totally. What a

:04:26.:04:37.

competition she has had, whatever the result. 14. 5 - the lead by some

:04:38.:04:46.

distance for Frankie Jones. Patricia Bezzoubenko composing herself, one

:04:47.:04:49.

more time. We know what that means, it could be golden, at last, for

:04:50.:04:56.

Frankie Jones. Five silvers and at the last time of asking, she has

:04:57.:05:05.

turned silver into solid gold. She has the sparkliest sequins,

:05:06.:05:09.

brightest eyes, the biggest smile, five silvers and one Gold Medal from

this Games alone, ladies and gentleman, Frankie Jones!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You are fully bled up, aren't you?

:05:14.:05:48.

You have got them all round your neck. Yeah. You're not getting

:05:49.:05:51.

through the scanner with those on, you know that. It might go off.

:05:52.:05:55.

First of all, many congratulations. Thank you. Due honestly think,

:05:56.:06:00.

right, as you went into the very last thing, this is the last time I

:06:01.:06:04.

will ever walk out and have my name announced and I am going to win a

:06:05.:06:09.

Gold Medal? I thought the first bit, not so much the second. I wanted to

:06:10.:06:14.

enjoy the last one because it's the last thing I'll ever do. I could

:06:15.:06:17.

never have imagined that would happen. It was a very nervous wait

:06:18.:06:23.

for you, wasn't it? You thought you'd got gold. Then there was an

:06:24.:06:30.

appeal. You had to... The Canadian appealed. Yes. When we saw the

:06:31.:06:34.

pictures of you, you're looking anywhere, bar where the decision

:06:35.:06:37.

would come up. I just needed it to be confirmed. Yeah, Just had to see

:06:38.:06:42.

that. Did you have any doubt that the appeal would work? Not really. I

:06:43.:06:49.

was quietly confident. I needed it to be in writing. I'm loving the

:06:50.:06:53.

fact that during the interview we can hear it all clanking. It's

:06:54.:06:59.

fantastic. Sorry. No, don't. Let them clank away. I know how proud

:07:00.:07:03.

your dad is. He came in last night and showed me the text that you sent

:07:04.:07:08.

him. He made me cry. Yeah. Genuinely, just I was wanting to go

:07:09.:07:12.

to bed because I had to compete today, but I had to wait and watch

:07:13.:07:16.

him. Then just he made me cry at end, bless Gabby Lo him. Gan

:07:17.:07:23.

competed at the Commonwealth Games, and she is so excited that you and

:07:24.:07:27.

Laura Halford won a bronze today as well, that Welsh gymnastics has been

:07:28.:07:33.

so strong. It's been phenomenal. So proud and pleased and the team, so

:07:34.:07:36.

proud of them. They're so young. It's their first ever massive

:07:37.:07:40.

competition. They've done the best. So proud to be part of it. Did you

:07:41.:07:46.

feel like a leader for the other girls? Yeah, definitely, I feel like

:07:47.:07:50.

they're my little babies. I just want to look after them all the

:07:51.:07:54.

time. So, so proud of them. Do you have to design your own costumes,

:07:55.:07:58.

the costumes are different for everything? Yeah. And do your own

:07:59.:08:02.

choreography and pick your music? It's a joint effort with the team

:08:03.:08:09.

and coaches. The music can be tricky because, the rule book is very

:08:10.:08:14.

complicated for rhythmic gymnastics. If you pick your music, aren't there

:08:15.:08:17.

certain noises that you aren't allowed to have in songs? Like

:08:18.:08:22.

sirens and Yeah certain stuff. Things you're not allowed to V we're

:08:23.:08:28.

now allowed one are you teen with words in -- one routine with words

:08:29.:08:32.

in, before it was none. I really like How old it. Are you now? 23. So

:08:33.:08:37.

your first career has come to an end. Have you got any plans yet for

:08:38.:08:42.

what you might do with the rest of your life? I'm going to university

:08:43.:08:47.

in September to do a sports course. Hopefully that will be good. Then I

:08:48.:08:51.

just want to carry on being involved with rhythmic and Wales and see how

:08:52.:08:55.

my team-mates get on because they have such promising You might

:08:56.:08:59.

futures. Coach them do you think? I don't think like properly, but I'll

:09:00.:09:04.

be there and see how they do and get some young ones and support them,

:09:05.:09:08.

like, push rhythmic in Wales, so make it more popular. Will you throw

:09:09.:09:13.

yourself fully into university lifestyle or will you continue to be

:09:14.:09:16.

sporty and healthy? Definitely not. I don't think I could cope. I'd die.

:09:17.:09:25.
