Gabby Logan presents coverage of the World Gymnastics Championships, which are taking place in London for the first time. There is no team competition at these championships, so the focus is on the individual apparatus finals. For the men, this means the floor, pommel horse and rings, while the women compete on the vault and the uneven bars. Britain's Louis Smith took bronze on the pommel at last year's Olympics, ending a 100-year medal drought at the Games for British gymnastics, and the 20 year old is looking to get among the medals at the O2 Arena, having taken silver at the Europeans in Milan earlier this year. Beth Tweddle struck gold twice in Milan and is a former world champion on the uneven bars, but she missed out on an Olympic medal by just one place in Beijing. Commentary comes from Matt Baker, Mitch Fenner and Christine Still.
