An amazing Final.
AND this should put away any discussion of whether or not Yulo should have switched coaches this cycle.

greatest British gymnast – Max Whitlock
An astonishingly successful career.
Rhys McClenaghan – Olympic Champion
In the most competitive apparatus final, Rhys takes home the Gold medal to Ireland.
Double defending Olympic Champ, Max Whitlock, had the highest difficulty, but it wasn’t enough to podium this time.

IOC statement on Women’s Boxing
Two female boxers being criticized online are competitors in good standing with the IOC. They’ve competed for many years and meet all eligibility criteria.
Certainly the International Boxing Association bungles many things, this being simply the most recent. If I was on the IOC I’d vote to drop that sport from Olympic competition.

Flavia is tough
With insufficient time to do a full concussion check after a Bars fall, Flavia went straight back to compete.
