This is the first time I have ever been invested in a Pommel Horse final.

Looks like a podium routine.

 

[Rich]

can he medal

 

[Hatsumomo]

In third. Hopefully he can hang on to that

 

[PeakePups]

Seeing Brody so excited for him is cute

 

[Rich]

15.3

 

[Sasha]

Okay, I'll bite - why do people dislike Whitlock?

 

[QuietColours]

Likelihood of that staying on the podium? Nedoroscik was the first routine I saw

 

[RedBirdie]

Next 3 routines are going to be sooooo stressful

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

There would be something poetic about an Irish and American winning gold and silver over the Brit

Rhys is deffo one of the ones with both passports!

bad form

 

[Hatsumomo]

I have nothing against him. I don't know enough about MAG to have a strong opinion. I just think it would be funny if the Irish and American win over the Brit.

I'm not a fan of his feet

 

[Big_rock_show]

Excited Brody on the sidelines is my new favorite

 

[rlayt]

Too piked.

 

[Sasha]

Okay, just the feet then. That's not too bad!

Evidently the “this board isn’t about politics” is not actually true or enforced when it comes to shitting on Team GB, despite the fact that actually they have had a pretty consistently disappointing games in artistic gymnastics (with the exception of Jarman).

I’m disappointed that this kind of nationalism is apparently fine.

 

[rlayt]

Only beef with Whitlock is his feet.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

14.933 for Sugino

 

[Passion]

What's that one-arm swing thing on PH called? It's cool as hell.

According to my 9 year old: “He even does a twirl!”
