Fara Ann Abdul Hadi does well to score 11.900 but it is not enough for a medal spot.

Slovenia's Tjasa Kysselef scores a brilliant 12.366 on the Floor, should be enough for a medal.

New Zealand's Estella Matthewson finishes with a score of 12.033, to be placed second for the moment.

It is Alexandra Eade who sits on top currently with a score of 13.333.

Qiyan Zeng from China scores 10.466 on the Floor.

Aruna Budda Reddy finishes with a score of 10.833. She will be a tad disappointed with that.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for....India's Rakesh Patra is all set to have a go!!

He has a decent run on the parallel bars, but stumbled, as he tried to land with the double flip in the end.

Chih Kai Lee of the Chinese Taipei is up next...a decent score by him. Notches up 13.8 points.

Mitchell Morris of Australia comes up with a decent score of 13.433 for home side Australia. However, he this is not enough to put him in a medal's spot.

And with that superb routine, Tan Di goes right to the top of the leaderboards. He finishes off with a score of 14.500. Looks like we already have our winner here.

Japan's Hidetaka Miyachi finishes his routine on the P-Bars. He gets a score of 13.466.

Kazuyuki Takeda of Japan performs decently on the P-Bars and finishes with a score of 13.500. It's good but compared to his usual standards, it's not exceptional.

The local boy Michael Mercieca put together a great routine on P-Bars to score 13.86.

Good morning! Welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the World Cup.

The Gymnastics World Cup in Melbourne, Australia has come to the attention of all Indian sports lovers, after Aruna Budda Reddy created history by becoming the first gymnast from the country to clinch a medal at the World Cup.

Aruna, who hails from Hyderabad, now shares the same limelight on the world stage as the other top gymnast from the country, Dipa Karmakar, who had won medals at both the Commonwealth and the Asian Games in 2014, and finished fourth at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The 22-year-old earned praise from all quarters for her performance, and now she has become a real medal prospect for India at the upcoming 2018 Commonwealth Games, which is set to be held in Gold Coast, Australia, later this year.

In today’s final, three Indians will be on show, as Ashish Kumar (men’s vault), Rakesh Kumar Patra (parallel bars), and Aruna Reddy (floor) take the centre stage. Let's hope for more medals today.
