OMG, Chen Yibing doesn't get gold, say what!?

obviously unfair!
Everyone can see that Brazilian player stands less perfectly than Chen Yibing.

[Drewski]

Yeah, she's going to end up with nothing here, can just see it happening...

[Jellybeany]

Poor Beth! It was a good routine as well! Shame about the dismount!

Bronze is still brilliant though of she gets it!

the margin in points was so small, honestly don't know how thats even accurate

[Jellybeany]

Well done Beth

[Drewski]

Deserved more, tbh, but she'll settle for that - after a while.

[Roobsa]

If she got a bronze with that dismount, seems like that could've been a relatively easy gold if she nailed it. Will she still be competing in 4 years?

[Tapner]

I'm really happy for Beth, she deserved a medal. It's a shame about the dismount because a silver would have been a certainty and the gold well within reach.

[Pensivedore]

At least she got a medal.

Very much doubt it, but you never know.

Bronze is better than nothing
She deserves a medal, well done Beth

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!

I don't know much about gymnastics but I have to agree on that - in other news, they lose out on a gold yet again

Well done to Beth Tweddle on the medal!

[whyumadtho]

These Russian synchronised swimmers are impressive.

Congrats to beth tweddle, a medal is fantastic no matter what colour in that event.

Wish bbc wouldn't hint at stuff so often. In the build up they hyped it up so much, then suggested that when she smiled she was "masking disappointment"... well we won't know until the interview, but I'm very happy with that result, I don't know about her.

She might have gotten silver with a better dismount, but the thing with these judged events is you never know.

Our gymnasts have been excellent, shame some people might get inflated ideas about where we should be thanks to media hype, but there we go.

EDIT: And then they say "That's the fourth gymnastics medal of the Games for Great Britain, which is fairly remarkable. Hats of (sic) to Beth Tweddle. If this is to be her final event, what a way to bow out." - Make your bloody minds up!

[dinrah04]

Any more GB medal hopefuls today?

[DH1']

Looking forward to Phillips Idowu in the men's triple jump. Do people think he has a good chance of getting Gold?

Also, well in Beth Tweddle. Still great, even if it is Bronze.

[Miracle Day]

Hate it when people take the piss and mock our Olympians like people are currently doing with Beth Tweddle.. disgusting

Think she's retiring now

[Squidgyness]

I see we are into the semi's of the hockey. Still one more match to guarantee a medal, right? Unlike boxing. Irish lass knocked ours out, but she is fave for that class by all accounts.

If they want people to cheer them up, I'll volunteer

Subtle.

My favourite are still the Norwegian football team. Such cuties. Shame they didn't qualify.
