Melnikova and Tutkhalyan lead Friday's all around qualifying
On vault, Tutkhalyan is an impressively powerful gymnast who could compete with Downie, Jurca and Tinkler for gold. In fact, vault will be a very close competition with less than .5 separating the top five in qualifications. Melnikova performs a DTY but is less powerful than the top qualifiers.
Russia scored first on bars in team, and it shows in these event qualifying results. Melnikova manages to combine the highest E score with the second D score at this competition.
Melnikova will compete in three event finals on Sunday. Tutkhalyan, with a fall, is less than a point behind the leader. Russia leads on beam with the top difficulty scores on the day.
Another impressively tight final on floor with the Romanians looking very powerful and confident by all reports. Britain's Catherine Lyons has the highest E score here while Jurca takes the top D score. Tutkhalyan and Dmitrieva have qualified to this final, meaning that only Bondareva will not compete in any final, as things stand.
MALADYETS, Russia! Angelina, Seda, Maria, Daria, Anastasia, keep fighting!
Tomorrow, look forward to the senior team qualifications. At present, Russia's working order stands as follows :
UB. Spiridinova, Rodionova, Mustafina
