The Brits suck big time!

The Olympic cauldron after the flame had been extinguished last night. It was put out about 9pm and re-lit in its new position at 7.50am this morning


Relight our fire: Stunning Olympic flame doused, relocated and relit in new home... but this time there weren't a billion people watching

The Olympic cauldron was extinguished last night as the flame was relocated to another part of the stadium.
The flame's cauldron, a symbol of the Olympic movement, is supposed to burn for the entirety of the Games but organisers have confirmed it was put out temporarily so the 28ft high structure could be moved to the edge of the stadium.
This revelation will add to controversy about the location of the flame, which is only visible to those who have tickets to events in the main stadium.

I've given up hope on our gymnasts.

We have a massive comeback now standing @ no 1 with Japan and Ukraine trailing hard on us! We are leading Japan by a bit over 2 points!

Our last apparatus: the Pommel horse! Good Luck Guys!

Go for Gold China!

Only one guy on pommel to go thru, if he stays clean we Win GOLD!!

He stays clean Japan would probably need 16.00s on pommel to beat China.

Only one guy on pommel to go thru, if he stays clean we Win GOLD!!

I think we nail it Brother! It needs a miracle for Japan to beat us! Well played Japan!

You guys remember I posted the Jap that almost fell on his face on the vault? Well he was injured and his replacement was the one that fell on pommel. It kinda suck this happened but the TV coverage here in North America kept pumping up Kōhei Uchimura beating us in the team competition.

Ha ha, now Kōhei Uchimura fell. what a blunder they won't even medal, now the Brits are Silver.

Japan disintegrated.
