GYMNASTICS
Israel's Alex Shalitov failed to impress in the Men's All-Round Individual final at the North Greenwich Arena.
He was never in medal contention after scoring 14.266 in the first round of and another solid, but safety first, routine on the rings failed to impress the judges as he slipped behind the field to lie 22nd after round two.
Lying 15th after three rounds, this was far from vintage Shalitov and he ruined a good performance on the parallel bars with an unbalanced finish, scoring 14.400.
The game was over as Shalitov registered 14.833 with just the floor routine left. After a solid routine, he finished with a score of 88.432 and 12th overall.

He equalled the Israeli record with a time of 1:57:33 to finish fourth in his semi-final.

The Israeli pair dropped the first set 6-1 before clinching the second set tie-break. Ram and Erlich then held their nerve to take the deciding set 6-3 and leave the Swiss shellshocked.
