Might it make us fourth and not fifth?

 

Just showed also a medal was there for the taking but they didn’t quite deliver on the promise qualifying showed.  A failure in my eyes.

 But we did drop from a relatively comfortable third in qualifying. I was optimistic about getting a bronze here. 
 

Let’s hope for a swimming medal or two this evening.

Slightly off topic, but looking back getting more golds than China in 2016 was absolutely ridiculous. Still think about it sometimes.

No chance. 
 

Sadly we have gone backwards in this event - we would have medalled in Rio and Tokyo if Russia had been banned. 
 

 

I think 4th to 4th isn't that bad. The story is really strong.

Oh man - you've just fed the troll. I'd give it 10-15 minutes before he's launching into a diatribe about Chinese doping and how GB athletes will be protesting if they have to share a podium.

At least the USA are barely in the men’s apparatus finals. Through China will have a point to prove as well

Something I've felt about these Games so far: the atmosphere looks electric. Marchand, and now this among the highlights. "USA! USA! USA!" for a bronze in gymnastics.
