MEN'S ALL AROUND FINAL:

It has been a night of a number of drops so far as the final two apparatuses are competed with to find out who will earn the medals in the Individual All Around Final of the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition at the 2013 Summer Universiade. After the third of four rotations, it's Russian Margarita Mamun who has the commanding lead with Korean SON Yeon Jae and Belarussian Melitina Staniouta rounding out the top three.

With one apparatus to go in the Final rotation, Mamun leads on three apparatus total from compatriot Alexandra Merkulova and Ukrainian Ganna Rizatdinova. And that is exactly how the final standings remain. Well done to all three medalists. Competition continues with the Event Finals on the 16th. 

Canadian starlet Patricia Bezzoubenko has taken out the Individual All Around title at the 2012 Panamericano Juvenil Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Cordoba Capital, Argentina, whilst the Group from the United States of America took out the Group All Around title. Bezzoubenko, took the title by a massive 6.025 points from silver medalist, Brazilian Andressa Wendal Jardim. Jardim's compatriot Mayra Luisa Tiago Sineriz took out the bronze medal. In the Group All Around competition, the remaining medals went to the Brazilian and Canadian Groups respectively.

Today (11/08/2012) sees the much anticipated Individual All Around Final for Rhythmic Gymnastics take place. Held at the Wembley Arena, starting at 1.30pm UTC, the day's competition is set to see the top ten gymnasts from the qualification take to the floor. Russian Evgeniya Kanaeva was behind her compatriot, Daria Dmitrieva for three of the  four rotations of qualification, but I believe that Kanaeva will be triumphant today, with Daria in second barring any major mistakes. And that third place will be fought out for by Belarus' Liubov Charkashyna, Korean Son Yeon Jae and Azerbaijan's Aliya Garayeva. Although as we all know.... anything can happen!

After one rotation, Evgeniya Kanaeva led the way from Daria Dmitrieva and Liubov Charkashyna! And now at the halfway mark, it is still Kanaeva and Dmitrieva with Korean Son Yeon Jae in third and Charkashyna in fourth. Heading into the final rotation it's still Kanaeva and Dmitrieva in the top two with Charkashyna in third, Aliya Garayeva of Azerbaijan in fourth and Son Yeon Jae in fifth.

And the 2012 Olympic Champion is Evgeniya Kanaeva (RUS)!!! Daria Dmitrieva (RUS) wins the silver medal with Belarus' Liubov Charkashyna taking the bronze!!!!

LIVE SCORING WILL BE SEEN BELOW!
