Yup, ultimately Italy, Brazil and GB did very well on their last apparatus, it was insurmountable.

Simone Biles is an amazing athlete, one of the greatest gymnasts ever. But I'm a little tired of all the DRAMA around her from the commentators (here, Tokyo, elsewhere). 

 

Just want to add: It's not her fault and I do enjoy watching her. And I know half of gymnastics on the women's side is the DRAMA. But it gets tiring.

Eric Peters through!

 

Great win over Bommadevara, coming back from down 2-4 and 3-5, with perfect 30s the last two sets and a 10 in the shoot off!

It’s like if you mixed up the word Peters with Peter Piper picked a peck of pickles peppers, if you get what I mean 

 

I don’t know, I can’t really explain my thought process regarding that

I'm French Canadian, throwing English tongue twisters at me is basically discrimination :P

 

(I kid, but I really can't do tongue twisters xD )
