Simone was head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the field in both the individual and team events. She nailed every single landing like a freaking cat. Sublime. Props to Ali & Aliya as well, they both did an astounding job.
Was it just me, or did the UK girls look heavy on their feet? I'm all for healthy eating and body image, especially for gymnasts where you hear some horror stories about what they eat (and don't eat) to stay on the smaller side; but the GB girls just did not look graceful, especially on the floor. Ellie Downie landing on her head during a tumble didn't help matters, either!
Thoroughly please for our boy Max Whitlock in the individual, he was fantastic. :-)
