WOMEN'S BEAM: Romanians Steliana Nistor and Sandra Izbasa sort to steam roll past Anna Pavlovas leading performance and they bypassed this station with undoubted certainty casting themselves into the leading ray of light.

   Nistor's team mate Sandra Izbasa World Silver medallist from Aarhus was the last of the eight competitors to compete performing in a beautifully designed leotard the same one as sported by Isabelle Severino at the 2005 Worlds in Floor finals she had a couple of minor adjustments after her flick layout and on her free to two feet but was otherwise solid finishing her routine with a perfectly stuck triple twist dismount to take 3rd place behind Nistor and Zgoba.
