I believe she was right on both counts! And to be fair, she can carry off the colour scheme in a way that many couldn't.

I have to admit when I saw Melnikova in that green and black leotard my first thought was "ah, she's shown up dressed as the villain, great sense of humour!" I imagine that wasn't the aim, but based on what I knew many of the responses would be to her on reddit, it made me laugh that she'd shown...

So great to see all the contenders hitting virtually every routine most of the way through! Also this long term friendly competition and rivalry between Hashimoto and Boheng with so many just behind them waiting for either of them to falter is so exciting to watch.

If you haven't found it yet, it's on BBC2/ iPlayer so that's why it's unavailable on Eurovision in the UK. I'm using a VPN currently because I wanted to watch live and the BBC started at 1pm and are still behind the main comp.

The second time it looked like she just got back on, had a bit of a wobble and promptly fell off again without having so much as waved an arm for choreo :cry: And of course all the rest of the difficult stuff was rather lovely!

This is just horrendous. The three gymnasts involved have done nothing wrong and are being put through the absolute emotional wringer while everyone around them argues about process. At this point the only thing I'm certain of is that people in charge need to sit down and work out how to make...

That's exactly what I was thinking of at the end of the floor final! And just like last time, I'm glad the inquiry was put in and Jordan was given her correct score, but I was as excited for Anna to get her surprise bronze as I was for Ukraine back then and am correspondingly just as sad that it...

And Rebeca says see? We can still put on a show after a week of competition and make it count!

Manila looks ready for a rest. Such a beautiful gymnast though, even her crumple to her knees looks somewhat elegant. Hopefully she gets a nice break to recover before she comes back to compete again. Come on Rebeca!

Everyone go home and get some sleep, then do the final again next week? This high bar final might be worse to watch that the beam final. At least I could regroup after the falls on beam, the falls on the dismount for high bar are just shattering!

Alice D'Amato Olympic beam champion and Manila Esposito bronze medalist! So happy for them to have individual medals on top of their team ones, I've been hoping since Euros they'd go on to have success at the Olympics 🧡 And Zhou has some gorgeous and slightly unusual work outside of the one...

Yes, Rebeca! Not my favourite routine overall but she stayed on and she has some lovely ring jumps and movement on the beam.

Also I'm currently assuming the Italians are somehow magic because they're the only 2 who stayed on. Whatever they did to appease the beam, everyone else needs to go do for the floor!

Nooo! What is up with this beam final? I finally felt like I might be able to breathe when Simone got up on beam 😞 Could she still go above Zhou?

She did it! I'm actually a but teary-eyed, so happy for her!
