OK, back to South Park Wrestling!

 

[Clegg]

Katie Taylor was sensational.

 

[sleeping_dragon]

Fuck yeah !! Australia won its first individual gold. We are zeroing in North Korea and Cuba on the gold count! Go Aussie!!

 

[Desmond]

 

[keit4]

Holy shit the chinesse girl in the uneven bars!

 

[Jamie OD]

Excellent performance from Katie. Don't know how much tougher it can get but there is enough faith in her to bring home the gold.

 

[Zaph]

Gymnastic noob here: is it normal for their coach to be so close to the routine? A couple times it looked like he was going to grab her.

 

[mclem]

Beth is *seven years* older than any of the others. I almost want her to win not because she's British but because she's *not* ridiculously young.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Amazing routine from He.

That's exactly why he's there, avoiding them injuring themselves should they unexpectedly miss the bar.

 

[Good Job Bob]

15.933 for He of China.

 

[keit4]

KOMOVA \0/!!!!!!

 

[Koodo]

Did she hit the lower bar with her legs while spinning?

 

[mclem]

Did she hit the lower bar with her legs while spinning?

Commentators think so.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Komova out of the gold.

 

[Creamium]

Did she hit the lower bar with her legs while spinning?

Yep.

Impressive showing of the German girl

edit : but score was kinda low...

 

[killer_clank]

russian did not look happy.

 

[Threi]

Time for some salty death stares

 

[Sky Chief]

wow, 39 year old Bulgarian on the rings

He was on Ninja Warrior, made it to the fourth stage

 

[Good Job Bob]

russian did not look happy.

Yeah that's been a running theme throughout Women's Gymnastics this Olympics.

 

[Koodo]

Komova out of the gold.

She always has a miserable look on her face.

True diva. Bless.

 

[mclem]

Amusingly, the cheapest seats tickets were for *bar stools*. I almost wanted to go for one just to establish exactly what the setup was!

He Kexin *still* looks about twelve.

 

[Wes]

Good luck Beth!

 

[keit4]

China for the gold and silver.

 

[Zaph]

Chinese 8 year old just beasted

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Fuck me these Chinese are good.

 

[Atrophis]

That will take some beating.

 

[Kal]

Damn Yao was on point.

 

[Koodo]

What an immaculate landing.

 

[mclem]

Big step, but good routine.

 

[navanman]

Bad landing but good routine overall

 

[killer_clank]

bad landing =/

 

[nny]

Ouch, that landing.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Tweddle fucked that.

 

[Sealda]

Chinese 8 year old just beasted

Just that she is like 4 years older than the rest of the field.

She is 20 yo.

 

[Wes]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo Silver so close!

She's not even guaranteed that. Oh Beth I hope you get one!

 

[StealthGoblin]

Yes Beth! Without that dodgy dismount that would be been fucking huge.

That routine was so good and quick.

 

[keit4]

LOL @ the bias.

 

[Brazil]

15.916.

Holy shit.

She'd definitely be #1 right now if not for the landing.

 

[Atrophis]

Awwww dat step

 

[Koodo]

A sloppy landing really makes the whole thing feel sloppy. Insane maneuvers though.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Not good enough. Maybe next time.

 

[killer_clank]

silver position so far!

real shame about that landing though

gonna be tense.

Not good enough. Maybe next time.

There won't be a next time for beth tweddle, she's ancient in gymnastics terms.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Incoming hate for Tweddle and cries for Women's Gymnastics to be cut from the Olympics immediately.

 

[mclem]

That was a really good routine, too, that could well knock Beth down one.

 

[Wes]

She pushed hard for the dismount and it sounds like it has cost her.

 

[Diprosalic]

is the squirrel going to win again?

 

[John Dunbar]

brutal sport when taking one step can cost you a medal.

 

[Wes]

Mustafina goes in to Gold

 

[Brazil]

Russian girl not crying tonight.
