Good luck Team GB.

Gotta say these women gymnasts are just so so young.

Thank god pinches wasnt a man

NZB · 31 Jul 2012 at 16:44

Haha yeah.

Not a good start.

Someone on BBC yesterday predicted 5th place for the women's gymnastics.

edit: for the GB team.

I'm not going to make any comments about the attractiveness of any of these girls, just incase they are 14 and I am branded a mega perv.

The GB beam score was very low, not sure how that relates to other teams beam scores but at least their weakest event is out of the way.

Good god, some of these girls (am double checking the age before I engage in full on perv mode, don't worry lads

Preferring the womens hockey for that reason

. Some look like theyve been ejected like ping-pong balls...

Dampney FTW

7th with one apparatus left. Our best piece but the gap looks too wide.

USA wins it with Russia and Romania in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

We finished 6th, does anyone that follows gymnastics know if we should have done better?

No, done about as good as could be expected. Was never going to match up with the big guns. I think 6th is the best we have finished for a long time. Most years, we don't even make the final.

So that's the teams over, are there individual events too?

Again - good performance. 6th is a pretty good result. Russians looked gutted and I bet the Chinese are pretty unhappy. Decent result for Romania too.

Mens individual all around final about to start.

Not sure on our chances for this section but we should be a shoe in for a couple of medals in the single apparatus events in a few days.

The_One · 1 Aug 2012 at 17:14

christian thomas is having a stormer in this individual all round

i fancy him to medal

robfosters · 1 Aug 2012 at 17:16

Lovely pommel routine and that's his worst piece.

NZB · 1 Aug 2012 at 17:18

Kristian in 7th and still hasn't vaulted, he's doing really well.

robfosters · 1 Aug 2012 at 17:32

He is nailing everything!

Chris [BEANS] · 1 Aug 2012 at 17:48

Am I being really stupid....?
Where are the Chinese Gymnasts??
