Some great individual performances from the men's team today as they qualified for Monday's team final.
Nile Wilson was second in the individual rankings.

Absolutely dominant performance by the USA Women's team in qualification!! By the end they were almost 10 points ahead of second place, an astounding margin in gymnastics!!!

GB men continued a host of 4th places, losing Bronze by 1.4 points to China. Japan won Gold with Russia taking Silver.

Aye, a plucky 4th. We used to celebrate plucky 4ths. Nowadays it just isn't what we've become used to.

A plucky 5th for the ladies team. USA were in a league of their own. (or is that the wrong sport?)

A medal for Max Whitlock. But what colour?

Not gold.

It's a bronze. Well done.

Silver for GB's Bryony Page in the Trampolining Final. She's obviously seen a video of me pogoing back in the day!  

Whey hey! just watching the golf when an alert came through that Max Whitlock has won a GOLD medal in the floor.

Didn't even know they'd started that yet.

And it's GOLD again for Max Whitlock. This time in the Pommel Horse.
And a silver for Louis Smith.

Nile Wilson wins Silver on the High Bars and Amy Tinkler wins a Bronze in the Floor Exercise to take GB's medal tally to 7, 2nd in the table behind USA.

The last disciplines will be the Rhythmic Gymnastics starting on Friday. Expect a lot of Eastern European precociousness, but as far as I'm concerned it's a lot of balls and hoops and ribbons - quite pretty to look at, but definitely not sport.
