Women’s Asymetric (Uneven) Bars Final|Dreams That Glitter

Yesterday was the women’s uneven bars final at the olympics, our very own Beth Tweddle was up in the runnings for a medal, and didn’t she do amazingly?! Now, I don’t know if this is just me, and I’m not an expert or anything but her routines always look so much higher in difficulty than the other athlete’s, and she just nails it, every time. When she’d completed her routine she was in the silver medal position, but Russia’s Aliya Mustafina overtook her, winning the gold medal. Aliya went ahead of Bejing 2008 champion He Kexin, from China. Beth scored a 15.916 which earned her a bronze. I was a little worried I have to say, when Beth was down to bronze and Gabby Douglas (all round champion, USA) was still to perform… unfortunately she didn’t do well enough to get up there in the score board. Well Done Beth!:D

There’s a video of Beth’s routine here on the BBC site, sorry to anyone outside the UK who can’t view this… http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19153418

This post is a bit late… But didn’t they do well the other day?

Bronze medal for the British boys 😀 they did so well!:’) personally think they deserved their silver, though technically I suppose Japan did too, but they still fell off the apparatus, making it unfair… Especially after the medals and ‘final’ scores had already been awarded, it was so harsh to take the medal away like that, it wouldn’t have been as bad if the results hadn’t been already given… Feel sorry for this lot – the Ukrainians fully deserved that bronze, a we deserved silver.

And what about this man in the men’s all round final today? Fantastic. A great shame about the vault…

And Daniel did well too! Women’s all round tomorrow!:)

Love this picture of team GB all together, amazing group of people here!

And Beth 🙂 wish I could find a picture of her on the bars though!

Not GB at all, I think she’s from Greece, but I was looking through some pictures and she stuck out for me because I loved her beam routine, so elegant.
