Her final score of 16.125 placed her behind Ksenia Semyanova, Russia (16.350), Nastia Liukin, USA, (16.300) and Yilin Yang, China (16.150) in what was a very high-quality bars final.

Birthday-girl Beth helped Liverpool to the silver medal at yesterday's British Team Championships. Competing on just floor and beam to give her shoulder chance to heal, Beth tried out some new moves. On beam she competed a standing arabian and landed it during warm ups but fell in the competition. On floor Beth has re-introduced a triple twist. During the medal ceremony Beth was honoured for her bronze on bars at the 2005 World Championships and gold on bars at the 2006 European Championships.

Beth has now returned home from Australia and is recovering well from the ankle injury that kept her out of the games. In two weeks time Liverpool will be defending their title at the British Team Championships but it is yet unknown as to whether or not Beth will be ready to compete before then. She is in good spirits and will be healthy by the time the European Championships come around in May. Despite not competing in the team final in Melbourne, Beth still received a silver medal along with the rest of the English girls as she was officially named to the team - which was a nice touch. Photos and articles from Melbourne will be coming really soon.
