Gymnastics Apparatus Finals

[Lara]

They showed the entire event in full on BBC internet feed :P

All hail the wonder of VPN. ;)

[galaxygirl]

I'm so happy for Musty! :cheer2:

Did Chile ever medal in gymnastics before?


I don't think so. It would be huge for them.

I read somewhere that Gonzalez is the first (men's?) gymnast to represent Chile at the Olympics, ever.

There were some great vaults in that final! :cheer2:

We got the entire event on HD TV :P

(too bad I was out and couldn't watch :wuzrobbed)

[Jemestone]

So jealous, I don't even own a tv. Lol

[Mozart]

I have a TV but no cable LOL I am enjoying the BBC online coverage. I was away camping with a crappy wifi service so this is the first day I can watch

[Loves_Shizuka]

I feel bad saying this as a Brit, but SO HAPPY FOR MUSTAFINA :cheer: :cheer2:

I'm also thrilled Beth has an Olympic medal to her name, and good for He Kexin! They should all be so proud! Off to watch it now :watch:

Oh, and a gold for Brazil! This half-Brazilian is happy! :D

I wasn't able to watch, but saw a news article that Gabby missed a medal.

Did she finish 8th because she blew it, or because that is just where she ranks?

She had a mistake on her toe shoot full but she didn't fall.

Musty! :cheer: So happy for her!!

[ioana]

Her D score was 6.6 in qualifying and 6.3 now, so she did lose some bonus.

[Fergus]

So very happy that Beth got a medal! :cheer2:

And well done to Sam for standing up and not landing his butt on the mat on the 2nd vault!

[mazzy]

Her D score was 6.6 in qualifying and 6.3 now, so she did lose some bonus.

But she should not have medalled anyway. 15.9 for Douglas would have been a travesty even if she hit.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

So happy for Mustafina. :cheer:

But, Komova :wuzrobbed This isn't the first time she's hit her feet on the bars. I hope they can get that sorted out so it doesn't keep happening.

I think Gabby knew coming in she wasn't in the medal hunt. See below.

Some nice quotes from Beth, Aliya and Gabby :
