Unbelievable from Whitlock, first ever medal by a Brit on the floor.

This is one of my favourite medal ceremonies so far.

Fantastic to have the two Brzillians there, and they're all so pleased for each other.


And a GB athlete got the gold

There's definitely some spectators who have never been to a golf tournament like this before.

Picking up balls, phones during the tee shots, walking away from the greens before the third player has finished to get a good spot for the next hole.....

But great drama! The Olympics Golf just came down to a one hole pitch-and-putt comtest.

Justin Rose!!!

 

[Paddy Podped]

Rose can 2 putt here!

 

[Saint Helen]

Terrific end to golf. Whitlock taken gold in floor exercises and now goes against Smith in the pommel.
