Who is staying up to see the Great Man? 2.25 in the morning providing he comes through the semis. Such is his magnetism, a full house will be assured.
Now just one Gold from going ahead of China into second place in the medal table, GB approx 70 million...China 1.4 billion.
Edit...now second in the table....

I never thought I would see a British gold medal in gymnastics, and we go and get 2 in one day! Fantastic from Whitlock, and don't forget Smith's silver.
Louis Smith doesn't look happy.
Maybe he's realised he won't be appearing on many more TV panel shows any more....

He's done Pommel Gold too. Smith takes Silver. Of all Olympic sports I would have said that GB would never get near this sort of level.

Bad form not to congratulate Ma, but he was devastated to lose....however, he made the tactical decision to simplify his routine which was probably wise as he has had his struggles.
Yeah he just congratulated the Yank on the medal podium but not Max. Something going on there!
Feel bad for Louis Smith. But, it's actually pretty good to see a Brit devastated by silver. Too long we were ok with "Doing our best".
Tbf, Smith blazed the quality trail for Men's GB Gymnastics. And apparently it has been tough for him just to get to Rio. So fair play to the man.
No, the silver medalist congratulates the bronze winner and the gold medalist goes up to hug them both
I'm not a Smith fan and he's obviously crying in disappointment rather than joy but you've just won a silver medal, man - smile!!
