Summary
IN THE NEWS
In the news, Australian national team member, Commonwealth Games and World Cup medalist, Mary-Anne "Mez" Monckton, Spencer, Stefane and Jessica chat about:
- What won today, a huge D (difficulty score), E (execution score) or both?
- Full recap of every single gymnast in the final, details, scores, and moments we loved from:
- Simone and Aimee Boorman, the example of how to do it the right way--healthy, happy, better person not just gymnast, our new Olympic Champion!
- Why everyone needs a team of Aly Raisman's in their corner. Kind, fierce, loving, brave and freakin' NAILS!
- The Aliya Mustafina-vs.-Shang-Chunsong-for-the-bronze debate may rage on through the ages. Even though D was 1.5 points higher and Mustafa was having major issues on beam.
- Ellie Black made Canada proud, Wang brought the big D for China, Jessica Lopez hit 4-for-4 in an all-around final! And more details on all the fan favorite finalists.
- Our favorite not-gymnastics moments--hint, they almost all involve crying except for Spencer, as usual.
GYMTERNET NEWS
Round-up of the latest news from Rio includes:
- Today's gymternet news was brought to you by a Club Gym Nerd member who dedicated it to this vault run.
