Tell you what though, GB women are more in it than we probably all thought they would be...i know, beam. But still. and Downie on bars is looking good

OK 1 down, 2 more beam routines to go. It could happen. Still don't think it will but it's at least possible

Yeah it's looking good. Right now I'd say they get the bronze.

2 clean beam routines for GB against 2 relatively messy floor routines from Italy....

Somebody mentioned shooting being like a penalty shootout but the women on beam for a medal is a new kind of nail biting

[Rich 21]

Uh oh. Low mark.

Getting this  near was a big achievement for this squad.

DD for Downie only 4.8 compared to 5.4 in qualifying. That could be it over for them unfortunately

The BBC were puzzled by that and expected an appeal. Feels like a bit of over optimism came from them even through at the changeover they basically said Brazil is the one to watch and beam is bad for us. 
 

I wonder if they will examine that and work out why the difficulty was low as it was what cost bronze.

Gutted for Downie in particular.
