Amazing individual

[Smowball]

Well done Max!

[Lie-in King]

Marvellous indeed!

Another fantastic achievement with further chance of medals in the pommel horse.
Sadly, I still can't believe just how empty the venues are. The athletic stadium has been akin to a Wednesday night meet at Crystal Palace in mid November! Let's be honest, the attendance's have been abysmal, nothing less.

prices are probably not cheap, CD. They weren't in London, and Cariocas are a lot poorer than Londoners.

I have heard that the problem with all these empty seats is that they bought by corporation and they could fill them.

I think they should try a

" if the seat isn't filled by kick-off, it should go to the next person n the queue outside "

if you know what I mean.

Thought I'd read/heard somewhere that an effort had been made to give many free to the local poorer communities or at a very cheap price but they're still not attending, for some inexplicable reason.
Is it maybe because they don't appear to have many top class athletes in medal contention, in comparison to others?

And another gold for Max on the pommel horse with Louis Smith in silver medal spot.
Utterly brilliant, boys!

Max Whitlock,although I haven't seen much of it, arguably the performance of the games in a sport that we have lagged behind in for too long.
