Can't say that I'm an expert on the sport, but just watched some of the mens gymnastics team and thought they were excellent. Louis Smith, Daniel Purvis and Kristian Thomas all mustard!

    Amazing strength those blokes have. I can't believe how it is humanly possible to do The Crucifix.

    I got to see it first hand Bloodnut. It was absolutely amazing!

    Team GB have been fantastic and the togetherness of the team stands through. Certain other countries are like machines and maybe that is what it takes to get gold. What I saw today at the O2 reminded me of Charlton, an amazing team spirit and pulling together.

    if the judges changed their mind after review then we have to accept the decision.

    hope we dont boo the japanese when they get their silver. be pretty poor going.

    well done lads.

    I feel sorry for Ukraine! That's a horrible way to have a medal snatched away.

    We should challenge the one point penalty for our guy on the high bar - say it was a failed dismount instead of a fall ;-)

    Bronze is still a superb result - well done the lads.

    Got in from work and caught the last 20 minutes of competition. That was good timing, seriously exciting.

    Don't know anything about the sport really but those that do saying the judges made a mistake and it was the right result in the end so can't moan too much.....although we will.

    And my Japanese friend has just facebooked me apologising so it's ok.
