Tunney scored 56.391 from the four pieces of apparatus - bars, beam, floor and vault - and team-mate Hannah Whelan (55.699) will join her in the 24-woman competition for all-around gold.
On my first day, I showed up in my favorite ballet leotard, and one of the lower level coaches put me through a series of drills on each of the four apparatuses: vault, bars, beam, floor.
Poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) based closed-cell foams were tested at different strain rate under compression loading ranging from 130s 1750 s−1 using a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus, consisting of polycarbonate bars.
And he added to that tally on Sunday, winning vault gold and taking bronze on both the high bar and parallel bar apparatus in Nanjing, China.
A special set-up based on the split Hopkinson bar apparatus has been used to measure dynamic loads acting on notched and pre-fatigued bend specimens.
THE SETUP -- The women compete on four apparatus: vault, uneven bars, floor exercise and balance beam.
She will compete for an individual medal on her favourite apparatus, the uneven bars, but will not enter the floor finals as she had originally hoped.
The success of the Chinese gymnasts in the final of the uneven bars apparatus - He Kexin won the gold medal and Yang Yilin the bronze – has stirred up the controversy of whether either gymnast has reached the qualifying age for international competition.
The bar is 46 cm from the floor of the apparatus and the bar's speed of rotation was gradually and linearly increased from 0 to 40 rpm across the 5-minute trial.
By the time they reached their final apparatus, on high bar, they were only 0.01 points behind Great Britain, and they were pumped.
For the highest, a Hopkinson Bar apparatus was used.
