Mens Gymnastics final is littered with mistakes one a piece for the two GB lads. Some bloke just missed the high bar and came down heavy. The gold medal winner had a bit of a poor landing on his floor routine and thats about his only mistake. Strange how that Japanese have struggled with the horse.

Well done Nguyen, and the American fellow that cocked up earlier has fought back to get bronze after the Japanese hosed the horse.

Yeah, not of them got thru clean did they?? Sure most of them actually performed better in the team event. Can't be easy doing that a couple days after team, especially when you're doing 6 events in a short space of time, and the strength and stamina involved in them.

Think you'll find the term is 'ballsed the horse'!

Love Purvis' little move on the floor, when he comes out of a tumble with his legs straight and not touching the floor. Should be at least worth an extra point!!

spain drew 0-0 ha, no goals in the tourney. from a massive high to a big low for mata and alba, surely they wished they never bothered

Smashing and challenging world records all over the show in the men's weightlifting. Although some lid dislocated his elbow before... looked awful.

Ahh said BBC1 on 450 so when you press up normally its BBC 2 but as I was on 450 it went to 451.
