I've just watched golf and genuinely cheered each hole. The Olympics do some seriously funny things to me. Every damn time. Love them.
It's the only time it's okay as a man to cheer on a competitor in the dressage and pommel horse.I've just watched golf and genuinely cheered each hole. The Olympics do some seriously funny things to me. Every damn time. Love them.
Certainly it's been assumed for a long time that some countries used hormones to delay puberty, and there's certainly some historical evidence. But because of normal variation between different individuals, and the fact that there are always genetic and environmental factors in play, it's hard to know for sure if it's still happening.Wasn't it always rumoured that some countries give these little girls stuff to let's say delay their physical development.
Girls who do gymnastics are inclined to be on the petite side, so you are probably right.Certainly it's been assumed for a long time that some countries used hormones to delay puberty, and there's certainly some historical evidence.

Female gymnasts in general are a couple of years behind the normal pattern, but their diets and the intensity of exercise could be the reason for that. Alternatively gymnastics may just favour the ones who mature later, and hence it's a self-selecting thing.
We never get gold in gynastics, then get two.Double gold, this is nuts
Level now.We're one Gold behind China
Smith's a prat.Max Whitlock, you legend!
Louis Smith must be bitterly disappointed but it's a bit classless not to congratulate your team mate becoming a history maker.
eh why?Smith's a prat.
Arrogant and more interested in himself than the team's performance.eh why?
Team event is over in Gymnastics, this is all about the individual now. Not sure why you think he wouldn't be disappointed missing out on the gold?Arrogant and more interested in himself than the team's performance.
It wasn't a team event tonight. He got pipped at the post, and he couldn't hide that it hurt.Arrogant and more interested in himself than the team's performance.
It must be absolutely gutting but I do agree. I bet whoever loses in the men's sprint cycling tonight will be much more magnanimous.Max Whitlock, you legend!

It is. They got the day wrong.SUPER DUPER SUNDAY!!
He hugged him and congratulated him when the last gymnast was performing, I'm not sure where this is coming from? Obviously he was gutted, but he still went over and congratulated Max.It must be absolutely gutting but I do agree. I bet who ever loses in the men's sprint cycling tonight will be much more magnanimous.
The cyclist all seem to be more supportive of each other. Maybe gymnasts are a bit more artistically moody.It must be absolutely gutting but I do agree. I bet whoever loses in the men's sprint cycling tonight will be much more magnanimous.
he did, a few timesMax Whitlock, you legend!

He did look disappointed, but I think that was all it was. He wanted to win and got beaten by his teammate.he did, a few times
Thats probably Smith's last ever chance of winning gold. Kenny is probably going to end up with 10 golds by the end of his career. Skinner already has one and is only 23It must be absolutely gutting but I do agree. I bet whoever loses in the men's sprint cycling tonight will be much more magnanimous.
