    Jessica and Jennifer have so much expression when they're on the floor and it's really refreshing to see the girls having fun on the floor and showing it off!

    It looked super clean.

    Jessica's routine earned her 13.70, while Jennifer got 13.80. For both of them, it is their highest-scoring apparatus of the day.

    The United States' Sunisa Lee - who was second after two rotations - gives the Russian Olympic Committee's Angelina Melnikova a high five as she steps down after a pretty flawless beam routine.

    It wasn't a difficult enough routine though and earns Melnikova a 13.70, which will probably mean she drops down the rankings.

    Lee will be next up, with Andrade last to go. Pressure's on.

    India's Mary Kom, one of the most successful female boxers in history, has bowed out of the flyweight tournament with split-decision last-16 defeat by Colombia's Ingrit Valencia.

    Kom, a six-time world champion and London 2012 bronze medallist after defeat by Britain's Nicola Adams, is 38.

    "Paris? I don’t know, I’m sorry to say," she said about the possibility of competing at the next Summer Games in 2024.

    "There is an age limit (40 years old). Maybe it will change, I don’t know. I’ve only just heard about it.

    "But I’m still strong enough. It’s what's in your heart and your mind. It’s about if you have the willpower, a strong mentality. Being focused, disciplined. For 20 years all my focus has been on fighting and I know all my country is with me."

    It's interesting to see the different creations of how the gymnasts are picking the moves and putting them together on the beam, some gymnasts are really good at the acrobatic skills and linking those together.

    You've got the elegant, tall gymnasts who tend to favour the spins - both equally as difficult.

    It looked like she was just a little bit out after her first layout.

    That's not going to be the score she wanted.

    It's so important that when you fall, you get back up, being confident because every point matters.

    There was an unfortunate fall off the beam for Great Britain's Jessica Gadirova, who won an impressive team bronze on Tuesday.

    The 16-year-old is down in 18th at the halfway stage, while twin sister Jennifer is 21st.

    Brazil's Rebeca Andrade continues her bid for a first Brazilian women's gymnastics medal at the top of the leaderboard on 29.966.

    The United States' Sunisa Lee is second on 29.900 and Russian Olympic Committee's Angelina Melnikova is in the bronze-medal position with 29.533.

    It is all to play for with two rotations remaining.

    Long-awaited dream come true for Clarkepublished at 12:53 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    Quite a moment earlier for Frazer Clarke, who has been part of the Team GB set-up since 2010, but had to bide his time in a stacked super heavyweight division.

    There was a certain Anthony Joshua at London 2012, then Joe Joyce at Rio 2016. Now it's Frazer's turn, and he got off to a winning start...

    "I'd rate it as a six out of 10," said Clarke, assessing his opening win over Ukraine's Tsotne Rogava. "There are a few more gears for me to get through first."

    The United States' Sunisa Lee went for it on the uneven bars and is now just 0.066 off Rebeca Andrade's lead after two rotations.

    Absolute respect to Sunisa Lee who is carrying the baton for Team USA in this women's all-around competition.

    All out for difficulty, there are different ways of building your score, one is for execution and one is to just go all out - that is what she's done there.
