They praised her interpretation and said she couldn't have done the tumbling any better. They were very impressed at how she sells the routine and 'engages the audience, drawing them into the routine with her facial expressions.

Jennifer was last to perform, knowing that she needed to beat 14.166 for a medal. Although this wasn't to be, she put in another fantastic performance and was again praised for great choreography.

"What a routine, what an Olympics they have had," said BBC commentators. "They have made their mark on the world. The British team have really come and performed well - absolutely phenomenal.

"At 16 the girls are so expressive, in a couple of years imagine how they are going to be.

"They have relished this experience and it's going to pay dividends."
