I can report that assorted fit and athletic young men are gadding about in front of me on the floor, the pommel horse, the rings and the vault, while the parallel bars and high bar stand idle, awaiting their turn.
Great Britain gymnasts have just done the pommel and, according to their own handlers, got off to "a solid start". Great Britain are off to a great start after a huge performance from Louis Smith on the pommel horse.
Another hit pommel horse set for louissmith - meantime Dalton on floor Three gymnasts from each team participate in each discipline and all their scores count. Updated at 4. With two teams at each apparatus, the teams are ordered to being their one-minute warm-ups. Britain will start on the pommel horse with Germany. Ukraine on the vault with France. And it's still approximately one-third empty. Or two-thirds full, depending on how you want to look at it. The cheap seats in the top tier are all accounted for, but at least five of the seven banks of the middle tier directly opposite the press bo To my left and right, there are also half-empty banks of seats in the middle tier.
The gymnasts performances are judged by two panels and the manner in which they do so is fairly arbitrary, ridiculous and almost completely inexplicable. The first scores the degree of difficulty, or 'start value', while the second looks at the execution, composition and artistry. Instead of the old fashioned maximum 10s, the medal-winning scores tend to be in the high mid to high teens: 15, 16, Stockhom A total of men and no women whatsoever from 12 countries participated in the gym, where the individual competition included high bar, parallel bars, pommels and rings.
They wore white stockings and plus-fours, black belts, white T-shirts with a Union Jack across the front, Brylcreemed hair and finished third behind Italy and Hungary. GB on the podium? The lights went out and what punters are here the top tier is full, the middle tier of seats is at least half-empty! At least that's who young person and Guardian gymnastics correspondent tells me it is.
The top qualifiers USA have a strong chance of their first Olympic team gold since in the men's artistic gymnastics team final at the North Greenwich Arena today, writes minute-by-minute reporter judiciously copying from sheet of paper handed to him by helpful woman in official Olympic livery. The defending bronze medallists outscored their nearest rival, Russia, by almost three points in qualifications and enter the finals as favourites for gold.
Led by Daniel Leyva, they were the top team on floor exercise and horizontal bar in qualification. With no Olympic Games veterans on their team, Russia emerged as a medal contender in qualifications, where they rose to second place through aggressive performances on vault and parallel bars.
Russia will need to consolidate their routines on floor exercise and horizental bar, where they were unsteady in qualifications. Great Britain outscored defending champions China and defending silver medallists Japan.
All-round gymnasts Kristian Thomas and Daniel Purvis are leading the British quest to win a medal for the first time since the Games. Germany, who qualified fourth, must avoid their landing problems on vault in qualifications to push the top three qualifiers in the final. Fabian Hambuchen and Marcel Nguyen were the team's most reliable gymnasts in qualifications. Uncharacteristic falls by three-time world all-around champion Kohei Uchimura and errors from other team members, dropped Japan to fifth place in qualifications.
Japan, the silver medallists, have the potential to challenge for gold if they perform optimally in the final. China, the gold medallists, competed erratically in qualifications and qualified below expectations in sixth place.
Although China lack depth among all-around gymnasts, they count two defending apparatus champions on their London Games team: Zou Kai, the gold medallist on floor exercise and horizontal bar, and Chen Yibing, the gold medallist on still rings.
Greetings from the grandiosely entitled "media tribunes area" that's press box to you at the North Greenwich Arena, or the IOC-unapproved O2 Arena, as it was called the last time I was here. This afternoon's Men's Team Gymnastic Final action promises to be equally energetic and sweaty, with lots of something dads looking disappointed teenage children they brought along aren't as into the entertainment as they are.
While we are, sadly, unlikely to be entertained by a backdrop of a giant locomotive straddled by a sexy lady with very long legs during this afternoon's final, I for one am like a kid at Christmas at the prospect of watching these sensational athletes strut their stuff on the floor, the pommel horse, the rings, the vault, the parallel bars and the horizontal bar. Cards on the table time: sadly, the Guardian's budget doesn't stretch to a specialist gymnastics live blogger in these straitened times and I'm not going to pretend I'm anything other than an enthusiastic observer.
But with the aid of some judicious cramming, subtle eavesdropping from the folk around me, a spot of shouting questions at the American journalist who looks suspiciously like she might be a former Olympic gymnast and is sitting in front of me, some outrageous plagiarising from assorted other website and the help of your always welcome emails, hopefully we can muddle through this together and have a pleasant afternoon's entertainment. Do you even know who won, in that case? July 30, Then I'd celebrate gb's gym bronze July 30, They'll be back before too long for the medal ceremony.
That's a splendid score. China Japan Ukraine Great Britain Russia USA Germany France He really fell from the high bar China: And his coach punches the air in triumph.
