    Time for Beth Tweddle.

    We're guaranteed a medal in the women's boxing, apparently.

    what is it with these gymnastic events?

    I've just watched the mens crucifix thing, and I've noticed that they only get one go at it. Thought the event would be alot longer

    OMG, Chen Yibing doesn't get gold, say what!?
    I feel he was cheated of the gold by the judges. The Brazilian guy made more mistakes but they still gave him a higher score!

    Not sure, but I think it's done in order to catch her if she falls, to reduce her chances of injury.

    GB women's hockey team have qualified for the semi-finals because China have just lost.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the chinese government have created fake birth certificates for these gymnasts, they and the US are the biggest cheats in the olympics. Really hope they get disqualified.

    Silver position at the moment for Beth. Such a shame about the dismount.

    Tweddle's routine was so much more complex than the person who's first, it's a shame the dismount meant deductions.

    I'm thinking 4th for Beth? The worst place to finish.

    The synchronised swimmers' hair look vacuum-sealed.
