Won't go onto the official tally until Tuesday. Which means we can only win a paltry 5 golds today!

Wonderful stuff from both gymnasts.  I agree re-Smith, I feel sorry for him but you can't take anything away from Whitlock.

Probably a bit unfair but I'm not a fan of the bloke, seems more interested in being a celebrity rather than the best in his discipline.


Based on what exactly?!

He's just won two gold medals in an hour, the first two golds we've ever had in gymnastics.  How would he have achieved that at the age of 23 if he wasn't utterly dedicated?  Unless you meant Smith, in which case I agree.

I think he means Smith, wasn't he on Come Dancing??

Sorry, yes Smith.  Me not liking him is a big price to pay for him doing Strictly.

And he missed out on shagging Taylor Swift, too.

Who to want to win?
Kenny or skinner? What a horrible decision to have to make.

I can't make up my mind. They're going to have to settle it by racing on bicycles.

The only problem with that is that you probably don't want to tell her fella that you want the job.

Somebody posted a picture on Twitter earlier of the final top 25 of the Atlanta Games to compare the difference. We're nowhere to be seen. Quite startling to see the difference.

Didn't we win just 1 gold in that Olympics? Redgrave and Pinsent?
