Well Gym Fans it is the final day of Artistic Gymnastics competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Today's programme at the SSE Hydro sees the second day of Event Finals with the Men compete on the Vault, Parallel Bars and Horizontal Bar with the Women competing on the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise. Singapore's Hoe Wah Toon starts things off on the vault with a solid start. Kristian Thomas overrotates and holds his feet too long on his first Vault. Nice Roche, big step forward on the landing. Great start by Scott Morgan - two sensational Vaults. Sensational straight Tsukahara for Adam Cox. Great reception for Cox by the crowd and his fellow gymnasts. Steps back but a solid start to Ashish Kumar's Vault campaign - crashes his handspring double front after tucking too early. Frank Baines sits down his Tsukahara 2.5. Great handspring double front from Baines who has a deep squat on the landing and to the side. Deep squat on the landing of a handspring double front and a small step on the landing for Kent Pieterse on his first Vault. Solid Tsukahara full for Aizat Bin Muhammad Jufrie. Canadian Scott Morgan wins another gold medal, with Kristian Thomas finishing in second. Singapore's Hoe Wah Toon makes history for his country by earning the bronze medal.

Onto the Women's Beam Final! I love all these leotards I am seeing before me. Rebecca Downie has a fall on her front somersault. Off again on her acro series. Another fall. Poor Becky. Easy dismount. My heart's breaking for her. She tweaked her foot in team final so it is fantastic to see her in the final. Lauren Mitchell also falls on her acro series. Solid effort with the remainder of her routine. Great save by Mary-Anne Monckton on her jump combination. Stuck double pike dismount. Isabela Maria Onyshko falls on her acro series as well. Lovely split full. Strong finish. I really adore the sleeveless leotard she is wearing. Enquiry submitted on Mitchell's score. Great save by Claudia Fragapane on the landing of her acro series. Great tuck full. Fantastic double pike dismount! Mitchell's score enquiry has been rejected. Fantastic routine from Elizabeth Beddoe. Gorgeous routine from Georgina Hockenhull! Solid routine from Ellie Black!! Absolutely lovely sportmanship from all the Gymnasts this week. Black absolutely dominates on the Beam taking the title over Mary-Anne Monckton and Georgina Hockenhull.

I apologize in advance. I am not overly familiar with the Parallel Bars element names. Great routine from Whitlock. Sensational routine by Nile Wilson!! 9.033 Execution score. Shaky start to Wadsworth's routine. Fantastic routine by Frank Baines. Scotland's Daniel Purvis takes the title over England's Nile Wilson and Max Whitlock.

Final Event for the Women - what I am sure is going to be a great Floor Exercise final. Beckett - out of bounds on half in half out. Stuck double Arabian. Love both Kirsten's and Jessica Hogg's leos - actually I love all the leos in this final. Super routine from Jessica Hogg. Mitchell - out of bounds on her second pass and misses her stag jump. Solid routine for Stefanie Merkle. Slightly untidy in the air on some of her tumbling. Hannah Whelan out of bounds on full in, back out. Fantastic routine from Claudia Fragapane! Beautiful work on Floor from Ellie Black. Feet out of bounds on a couple of passes. Fragapane wins another gold medal, taking the title over Lauren Mitchell and Ellie Black.

And sadly we are onto our final Gymnastics event of these Commonwealth Games. O'Hara off. Heavy fall for Anderson Loran who over rotates. Repeats and is successful. Off again on the Gainer II. Plays it up to the crowd. Sensational routine from Nile Wilson. Aggressive routine from Daniel Keatings. Heavy fall. Finishes the routine solidly. A few form breaks on top of the Bar but an otherwise solid routine. Great routine from Kristian Thomas. Tie break rules apply which sees Thomas go into second behind Wilson. Nice routine for Tsukahara. Super routine from Kevin Lytwyn! Wilson takes the title over Kristian Thomas with Canadian Kevin Lytwyn earning the bronze.

It's day one of the Event Finals at the SSE Hydro. England's Max Whitlock won his third gold medal at these Commonwealth Games winning the title on the Floor Exercise. He earned the honors by 0.4 points over Canadian Scott Morgan. New Zealand's David Bishop finished in third. England's Claudia Fragapane also won her third gold medal winning the honors on the Vault. Canadian Elsabeth Black finished second with India's Dipa Karmakar making history for her nation by winning the bronze. Karmakar vaulted the Produnova as her second vault and LANDED it! Albeit in a deep squat but it was fantastic!!

Massive routine from Daniel Keatings on the Pommel Horse!!! Solid routine from Jac Davies of Wales. Great routine from Louis Smith until he got to the dismount and had trouble. Daniel Purvis had a great routine although missed a pirouette on the dismount. Slight falter during the routine for Max Whitlock but great routine otherwise. Scotland's Daniel Keatings wins the title over Whitlock and Louis Smith! Welsh competitor Jac Davies finishes in fourth.

Poor Elizabeth Beddoe had a rough time on the Uneven Bars. Finished strong. Super routine from Rebecca Downie. Great routine from Larrissa Miller. I am absolutely loving all the leotards we have seen at these Games. Raer Theaker of Wales has some early mistakes and comes off. Disasterous routine and opts not to complete the routine - very disappointing. Fantastic routine from Ruby Harrold with a couple of form issues although a great routine. Downie wins over Miller and Harrold.

The Canadians rocked the Still Rings with Scott Morgan taking the title over compatriot Kevin Lytwyn. Daniel Purvis finished in third. Competition resumes tomorrow with second day of finals.

The Rhythmic Gymnastics competition at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games came to a close yesterday with the Individual Event Finals being contested. Canadian Patricia Bezzoubenko, who many believed would equal the 6-gold medal feat that Alexandra Orlando completed in 2006 fell short winning five golds and a bronze. Bezzoubenko took the titles with the Hoop, Ball and Clubs however it was Welsh gymnast Francesca Jones who ended her career on a high taking out the Ribbon honors. Jones and Malaysia's Wong Poh San won the silver and bronze medals respectively with the Hoop, whilst with the Ball Jones added another silver with her compatriot Laura Halford earning the bronze medal. With the Clubs, Francesca Jones topped Cyprus' Themida Christodoulidou for the silver medal. Jones had to wait for the results of an appeal launched in regards to the score of Bezzoubenko before she could begin to celebrate the win. In the end Jones was awarded the gold over Malaysian Wong Poh San and Bezzoubenko. There is a fantastic article with Jones on The Guardian website at: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jul/26/francesca-jones-gymnastics-gold-commomwealth-games-2014
