Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE blog for Artistic Gymnastics on Day 6 of the Tokyo Olympics.
The battle is on between the top women as the gold is up for grabs with Simone Biles withdrawing from the AA Finals at the Tokyo Olympics
Stay tuned as competition starts at 4:30pm IST for all the action. If this week has taught us anything in gymnastics, it is that there is no guarantees and no certainties. It's going to be a great ride so watch out!
Thank you to everyone who joined and everyone supporting The Bridge!
Another great competition at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre.
Everyone gets a two days break to recover from drama. Most importantly, the athletes! Haha
See you back here on 1st August for Event Finals!!
Andrade first ever Brazilian medalist at the Olympic Games from the womens side!!!!
Angelina will take the bronze home for ROC! Absolutely deserves it
Wow what a competition - came down to the very last score. The past four days of gymnastics have been an absolute rollercoaster. PHEW
WOW Brasil gets the Silver - UNBELIEVABLE results for Andrade.
Jade Carey last up on floor now - huge tumbling from her- effortless. Big double layout full for her third pass. Great routine.
Unfortunately considering her beam fall - she wont make the podium
Everyone's eyes STUCK on the scoreboard!
SUNISA LEE DOES IT!!!
OH MY GOD WOW, SHE IS CRYING, EVERYONE IS CRYING
WOW this could go any way!
Andrade floor - both feet out of bounds on her first pass. Great second tumble almost stuck. Stuck double layout for third pass wow. Last pass now - double pike - out of bounds again yikes!!
Apparently she decided to do just 3 passes instead of 4!
13.7 and that puts her into first place!!
Only one competitor left to go now. The atmosphere is intense!!
