    England's Luke Whitehouse produces a very nice and difficult vault, with a slight step back on landing. It's worth 14.150. Whitehouse then performs a second, slightly easier vault, which earns him 13.850 taking him to 14.000 overall, just .100 behind Canada's Felix Dolci.

    That's another individual final for Whitehouse to look forward to. But will he have a team medal by then?
