    Was a good comp and out of the 6 exercises I find the horse the least exciting.

    I concur. The pommel horse always looks like a waste of time, the rings on the other hand (other finger?) look dead impressive. Sorry to say but the floor exercises make them all look like pooves and they should stop it at once.

    I like the girls on the floor though.

    In all seriousness, everything an Olympic gymnast does strikes me as incredibky impressive.

    Got to be about the best athletes there are.

    For me it makes what they do all the more remarkable, that one significant mistake and it's pretty much game over.

    It's not a sport I really enjoy watching, probably mainly for the reason that it feels a bit like a horror film because you keep thinking it's all about to go pear shaped, but that doesnt taint my respect for what they do and are capable of.

    More medals but I can't take much more of Clare "Sapatao" Baldings mangling of Brazilian place names.

: too many poofs in here, and not enough Indians, too many poofs spoil the broth, a poof in the bush is worth two handjobs
