Glasgow Gymnastics Sun, BBC2, 1345

Wearing a leotard in Glasgow is usually frowned upon, especially in October, but tune in to Grandstand on Sunday and you'll see just that.

The annual Glasgow Gymnastics Grand Prix is upon us once again, and with the Commonwealth Games on the horizon it has added significance.

Britain's women's team has high hopes leading up to Melbourne, with many pundits predicting an avalanche of medals for Beth Tweddle and her colleagues.

Life is slightly tougher for the men's squad - they failed to make the Olympics and once again are struggling to pull together a strong line-up.

Former British gymnast and BBC pundit Craig Heap takes us through the leading contenders at this year's Grand Prix.

Men's floor

Brandon O'Neill (CAN): He looks in good nick - he recently won in Stuttgart, qualified first for Glasgow and if he performs to his potential will medal at the Commonwealths.

Robert Gal (HUN): Robert qualified third - he's a little bit older than Brandon and has a lot more experience. Ranked fourth in the world on the floor and should impress.

Top tip: The floor is all about combination tumbles and linking - and landing on your feet!

Men's rings

Alexander Safoshkin (RUS): Always a strong performer, he has recently returned to competition after working in a circus.

Uri Van Gelder (NED): Ranked higher than Safoshkin but recently beaten by the Russian. Has added a new move to his routine and will be a force come the World Cup.

Top tip: The rings are all about strength - think BA Baracus - and keeping your arms level.

Men's parallel bar

Mitja Petkovsek (SLO): Mitja devotes all his time to this discipline - he's a real professional. Won gold here for the last two years - who says he can't do it again?

Marius Urzica (ROM): He's so good he has his own move on the bars - I like Marius and I've got a feeling he could do well here.

Top tip: The bars test everything; you've got to be solid and very, very precise.

Men's pommel

Krisztian Berki (HUN): He's young but don't let that deceive you - this chap will be a star. He's the current European champion and it will be between him and Marius Urzica.

Louis Smith (GBR): One of the rising stars in the men's team. Competing here will be good experience ahead of Melbourne but he has the power and skill to medal here.

Top tip: This is like riding a bucking bronco! Balance is key as is a strong routine.

Men's vault

Leszek Blanik (POL): A very exciting vaulter who is always breaking new boundaries. Watch out for his trademark routine - a handspring double-pike front somersault. It's amazing!

Jeffrey Wammes (NED): Only 18 but getting better and better. Won on vault in New York this year and can improve in a very competitive event.

Top tip: You've got to be consistent and brave - keeping it simple doesn't win gold.

Men's high bar

Aljaz Pegan (SLO): Ranked number one in the world and the European champion - and knows how to win in Glasgow. A shoe-in.

Phillipe Rizzo (AUS): Did a super routine to qualify and will be one to watch with the Commonwealth's in mind - watch out for Britain's David Eason too.

Top tip: Don't fall off - it's a long way down.

Women's bars

Lu Huang (CHN): Only 15 so it will be interesting to see how she handles the pressure, but saying that most Chinese are tough cookies - second in Stuttgart. One for Beijing.

Beth Tweddle (GBR): She's British, talented and can win this if she sets her mind on it - the crowd's support should help.

Top tip: This is a very technical event - the release and catch is vital.

Women's vault

Oxana Chusovitina (UZB): A relative veteran at 30, Oxana is a very powerful athlete who could easily pull gold out of the bag - like a good Bordeaux she gets better with age.

Imogen Cairns (GBR): Our women's team is strong, and Imogen is one of our brightest hopes. We know she is excellent on the floor - can she translate that onto the vault?

Top tip: Don't shy away from taking on a tricky routine - they'll win you a medal.

Women's beam

Beth Tweddle (GBR): She's an all-round gymnast and I fancy her chances in this event; although the two Chinese - Lili Wang and Zhurou Zhou look strong.

Loes Linders (NED): Dutch gymnastics is rapidly gaining an excellent reputation. There's not much separating any of the ladies on the beam but Linders is a good operator.

Top tip: Don't try this if you're a bloke - and make sure your routines connect.
