I fixed 'em, sorreh. Someone had posted them wrong and I read it off there.

Consider them amended!


Now, let's wait for the medal ceremony and listen for the roof lifting off at O2 as Beth and Loz get their medals!

Lauren rocks. Personally, I think she should have won both of those finals, but I'm sure she'll be quite chuffed with those silver medals!

I agree, the consensus online is that she should have won both finals, especially beam over Deng Lin Lin who should not have been awarded the CV she got.

She sure followed through with her earlier comment and showed everyone what she can do in the EF.

Coming into these world's I thought a BB medal was the realistic medal chance with a FX being on the cards with some help from others falling. Glad I was wrong. Such amazing compsure from Lauren this whole comp. She was one of the few gymnasts who didn't fall on anything, to think she's become the rock after nerves in Beijing. Two silver medals now makes her Australia's most decorated gymnast ever, though it could've easily have been two golds and a bronze.

With Tweddle possibly retiring Australia is looking a whole lot better for CWG team gold next year.
