 Uneven Bars provided unexpected drama with two of the favourites faltering.
>> Suzanne Harmes got things going with a powerful routine (nice stalder to 1 ½ to Jaeger). She was overtaken by Britain’s Beth Tweddle, who had swung her set with ease and style, catching her Markelov and Gienger. 

 >> Alyona Kvasha was clean, but not overly exciting, showing a nice full pirouette on the low bar. >> Monica Bergamelli was very dynamic to outscore Kvasha.
>> Renske Endel glided through her stalder work with ease and caught her Jaeger, but overarched a handstand on high bar to leave some room. Her routine was the only one with a ten start value. In the first shocker, Ludmila Eshova lost her swing on a giant and jumped off in a routine that seemed to be going well.  Next, Irina Yarotska fell three times, meaning that Tweddle had a medal for sure. The colour was decided by Svetlana Khorkina, who put another bars title under her belt with her excellent work (9,8 SV).
