Lauren cleans up on the floor
Beth Tweddle put in a flawless performance
Sarah Lauren has won the final gold of the women's gymnastic meeting at the Commonwealth Games - the individual floor title. The result means that each individual title was won by a different athlete. Allana Slater, the only qualifier for all the finals, won the first on the vault but then had to settle for successive seconds. First she was denied by England's Elizabeth Tweddle on the asymetric bars before all-around champion Kate Richardson took the honours on the beam by a mere 0.063 points. Reports: Vault Allana Slater won the vault with effortless grace and precision in both her run up and execution. The 18-year-old finished with a score of 9.268, taking the lead off her compatriot Alexandra Croak. "I was very happy with my performance and it was great to win gold," she said. The 1-2 finish went part of the way to making up for the Australian team's poor performance in Sunday's the all-around competition. Canada's Vanessa Meloche won bronze. "It was my goal coming into these championships to do well in the beam and I've achieved that." |
