The Netherlands proving that athlete welfare and beauty can conquer in gymnastics.  Brazil enjoying their Olympic moment with huge difficulty and The Flavia Factor.  Our favorite not-gymnastics moments from the Japanese elation to Aliya Mustafina being soooo Queen Mustafina.  GYMTERNET NEWS Round-up of the latest news from Rio includes- What does Mez think of the safety issues around the mic transponder being taped to the middle of the underside of the beam?
