Gold Medal Greetings

You can now get a message sent from some of the top US gymnasts. Sounds interesting. It will also be interesting to see if enough people use it to keep it running.

Australia vs Japan Day 2

Lauren Mitchell won Beam and Floor while Shintake won bars and Oshima won floor. Unfortunately Mitchell and Tsurumi pulled out of the all-around which was a disappointment, but we wouldn't have been able to follow their all-around battle anyway as no all-around scores were shown. In fact there were only 2 little scoreboards that were only visible to part of the arena which only displayed the most recent apparatus scores - no all-around scores, no apparatus rankings.

Anyway, I have posted a few videos from the competition here (I may have got some of the Japanese gymnasts names wrong as I am not all that familiar with them):
