theherd123 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Anyone else been glued to it today? Beth Tweddle so deserved her Gold after an outstanding performance, I'm so pleased for her especially after her disappointment on the bars earlier in the competition. Did anyone see Epke Zonderland on the parallel bars and high bar? That guy is amazing and performed so well, he is unbelievably entertaining to watch!

ubereglu Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm really glad to hear that. Especially as she is retiring soon. Have to say I haven't watched any of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have been glued to my TV too! I agree, I am so glad for Beth Tweddle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was watching it earlier today. I love Gymnastics. I am always amazed by what they can do. But that poor girl from Columbia (I think) who fell onto her head after doing several somersaults. Ouch! Hope shes okay. But Beth did fantastically well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm amazed. I saw the floor stuff online and my eyes popped out of my head. How that 'fall' (more like a head-first piledrive) didn't kill Jessica Ortiz I will never know. So dangerous, but so stunning when they get it right. I wish the BBC would do more high-drama glossy promo trails for stuff like this. It's far more impressive than football and cricket. I had no idea we had world-class gymnasts again. Haven't really watched gym since the 80s. It seems to have got even harder and more impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I love the gymnastics too. Never been able to attempt it though...something to do with my build or whatever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
