Was that the Johnny Vegas sounding guy?

No. But he seemed sensible and informed, then he made that comment...
The Johnny Vegas guy does sound like a geezer doing a spot of guest commentary now and then from table 43 at the local spoons. the whole thing is very weird! very funny though.

Fantastic women's all-around final, really enjoyed all of that.

Sorry for the whinge, but where the fuck can I find the rest of the women's gymnastics coverage? Watched up until midway through (so after Biles pulled out) and then the BBC did its channel flip thing and now I can't find which section it is on the iplayer
More power to Simone Biles btw. She's fucking superhuman and to do the right thing by herself and her team under such intense scrutiny only confirms that in my eyes.
She's brilliant and the predictable backlash against her is ugly.
It's being compared to (on social media) that Surya Bonaly faced a similar, even worse backlash after her coming second in figure skating nearly 30 years ago.

Xiao Ruoteng nailing all his floor landings, making it look so easy to do a triple whatsit and land with both feet together without taking a step backwards.

Not many pommel horse devotees here...me neither. But two Olympic Golds and three World Championships...best ever, take a bow Max Whitlock.

Fuck you Dave!
That was some routine from Max Whitlock. Absolutely brilliant!!

Happy-snivelling again at the beam final. So pleased that Simone Biles was able to compete, smashed her routine and got a bronze; so impressed at everyone's skills; so moved by the tiny little 16yo Chinese gymnast pulling off a ridiculous routine with complete nonchalance and then realising "fuck, I've got the gold!" 
Just brilliant all round.

Brilliant beam competition, some great performances. Happy for Biles, I wonder if she'll look back on this bronze as her favourite.Happy-snivelling again at the beam final.
